And parking
Yes I bring my own P.A and lighting
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment and that there is ample parking. Also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue , there area I have to perform in, if PL I (public liability insurance) is needed , and if there is food and a drink provided.
And the dress code
The time I can be there + a contact number incase of any problems I may encounter.
I can play music in between sets but not a D.J service
I played on stage with Van Morrison in Ireland at the cork jazz festival.
As I was born in the 70's I have influenced by music of the 80:s
But I have a strong lean to American country rock and 70's music
I started gigging from the age of 16 and performances developed from there. Since I started I have performed at many weddings, parties and events across the UK and beyond."
Private parties mainly but happy to play any event
"I normally play 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. But I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter. I've found that these set times suit me and my audiences best."
Yes I can perform outside if needed . As long as there is a contingency plan for the weather
Clients can request one or two song of choice , I'm not a list reader I read the crowd as it's different every time .
I have at least 22 five star reviews
