About / Biography

Hello,

I’m a solo acoustic guitarist and singer, based in Macclesfield. I’m available to play weddings, private parties, gigs, and other events. As a full-time musician with more than five years of gigging experience, I enjoy playing in bars and pubs as well as at weddings and festivals.

My sound is gentle and a little folky – great background music! I play my own original songs and a large repertoire of covers to entertain your guests or customers. I’m also happy to learn a song especially for your event. Just let me know if you have something particular in mind.
