About / Biography

I perform an upbeat mix of 60s and 70s classics, blending the glamour and attitude of artists like Bob Marley, Bryan Ferry, and T-Rex, alongside rock ’n’ roll favourites from Elvis Presley and Eddie Cochran.

My set is lively, familiar, and great for getting audiences dancing and singing along, with songs people instantly recognise from both decades.

Although I’m well-known for my guitar-based performances, I’ve now added professional backing tracks to enhance my sound and give a full, polished performance offering live musicianship with a richer backing arrangement.

This combination lets me tailor the atmosphere — from energetic pub nights to vintage-themed events — always keeping the focus on feel-good classics and audience favourites.
