Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Power.
Bar Stool.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Usually provide sound with own PA speaker, can also use in-house system if preferred.
Basic lighting (fairy lights etc) possible upon request, for anything more please enquire.


What information do you require about a venue?

Set up location if you have it planned. Otherwise I'll set up where I feel it is best for all things considered... room, visual, sound.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Certainly, I'm happy to curate the music myself or play a pre-made playlist as preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I've performed at the Glasgow OVO Hydro several times for different events including a classical arrangement of pop tunes with live orchestra - what a blast!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Queen, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, and more recently Snarky Puppy, Silk Sonic, and no doubt many more!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been a gun-for-hire musician and music producer for over a decade now, which is how I got started and how I like to work. Every opportunity is new and exciting, I love to be challenged and to learn so it suits me well. I've played in everything from reggae, pop, funk jazz and metal bands, to name a few, on bass, drums, guitar and vocals.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Any personal event tends to really do it for me. Weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries all have that warmth of people getting together to celebrate one another that makes me feel grateful to be a part of it.


Is your setup, set lengths, etc all fixed?

Absolutely not! Please do get in touch if you'd like me to curate anything to your needs and I'll be happy to do so. My prices and set lengths are only up for indicative purposes only, but I'm happy to tailor everything to your needs as required.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I like to arrive roughly an hour before start time, but can set up pretty quick if needed for quick changeovers (though I prefer not to if possible). I usually perform 2 or 3 x 45min sets with breaks in between. Happy to adjust that if requested as well.


Are you happy to perform outside?

As long as I have power, cover from wind and rain if required and a flat level surface, then yes. I actually love to play outside, especially on a nice day.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Absolutely! I have a sample set attached below that clients can pick from if they want, and I'm happy to take requests as well (within reason). I can sight read as well so can take requests on the night too in a pinch, though advance warning is always preferred as I can learn the songs properly and provide a better performance.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Upbeat, engaging, fun and easy to work with, punctual, professional, talented and creative.
