Simon Knight Solo singer and acoustic guitarist performing classic rock, blues, and soul

I need a performance space of at least 4 metres x 3 metres, one power socket, and one parking space.

I provide own PA and a simple lighting rig.

Directions, where to load in, and where to park.

Yes, I'm happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between sets. I'm happy to choose the music or let the client choose the music.

I performed a set at Brecon Cathedral for the Brecon Jazz Festival, and the acoustics were amazing!

My favourite artists are Queen, Peter Gabriel, Paul Rodgers, Free, and John Martyn. Many of these have been a huge influence and inspiration for my vocals in particular.

I have been gigging for over a decade, falling into it by accident at first after a pub-owner heard me cover 'All Right Now' at an open mic night when I was 17 years old, and asked me to play in his pub. Since then, I have professionalised, expanded my set, and played hundreds of weddings, parties, and events, tailoring my set to suit the audience - sometimes upbeat and singalong, and sometimes more tender and intimate.

I love weddings and more intimate settings where the nuances of my voice and guitar work can really be heard.

I normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up, and play 2x45 minute sets (as well as an encore). I am happy to play shorter, and perhaps a little longer, but 2x45 gets the best out of my voice.

I am happy to perform outside but would need a power supply.

I am happy to learn up to five specific songs and would factor this into price; otherwise, I choose from my repertoire.

Previous clients have described me as having brilliant vocals and guitar work, a fun and lively set, and a warm and professional approach.
