Steph Willis UK Live Acoustic Anthems: 50s to Today

Flexible Gear to Fit Any Space

Space is never an issue! My setup requires a footprint of around 2m x 2m, but I can easily adapt to smaller nooks and cozy venues.

-Compact Setup: A sleek, high-powered Bose system. Perfect for tight corners, quiet rooms, or intimate acoustic sets (can be used with or without a stand).

-Full-Range PA Setup: Powerful twin 15" mounted speakers with floor monitoring and sound desk. Fills larger venues, halls, and outdoor spaces with crystal-clear audio.

-Optional Stage Lighting: 1 x T-bar light rig available upon request to add a fun party atmosphere for smaller dance floors (please mention when booking).

Sound: Full professional PA sound system provided for every performance.

Lighting: 1 x compact T-bar light rig is available upon request for small spaces to add a bit of atmosphere. For larger venues or full dance floor lighting, external production hire is recommended.

To ensure everything runs smoothly on the day, please share key access details and keep these requirements in mind when booking:

Venue Access & Parking: Clear directions, designated loading locations, and guaranteed parking space close to the entrance.

Stairs & Lifts: If the performance area is above the ground floor without lift access, please let me know in advance so we can discuss logistics.

Power Supply: Access to at least one safe, standard 13A wall socket within 5 metres of the performance area.

Sound Limiters: Please inform me before booking if your venue has an active decibel/sound limiter installed.

Outdoor Performance: For outdoor gigs, the performance area must be on flat, dry ground and completely under cover (e.g., a sturdy marquee or gazebo) to protect electrical equipment from rain or direct sunlight.

Playlist music is provided free of charge through the PA system during set breaks, so there is never awkward silence. Let me know in advance if you require this!

I performed in the Olympic Village at the London Olympics - it was amazing to be a part of. Also, playing to our armed forces overseas throughout 2025 - supporting Sigma. This was a career highlight.

Much like my set list - I have been influenced by just about every great musician! My favourites blend thoughtful lyrics and soaring melodies with energy and passion. My current favourite is Alanis Morissette. Loved her then, loved her now.

I’ve been gigging professionally for over 15 years now. I started out like most musicians—playing open mic nights and local pubs around Buckinghamshire, cutting my teeth learning how to command a room with just an acoustic guitar and my voice.

Over the years, that grassroots hustle grew into performing full-time at hundreds of weddings, corporate events, festivals, and venues across the UK and internationally. Because I’ve played everything from intimate 20-person drinks receptions to packed stadium/festival crowds, I know exactly how to read a room, adapt on the fly, and keep people engaged all night.

My overall favourite event is when the audience is up for a good time. I always feel into the energy and vibe that the crowd are giving, and if they are up for a party, then off we go! I also really enjoy those intimate settings which are a little quieter - where people are really listening. Slightly unnerving sometimes, but fantastic to feel appreciated.

Totally happy, I just request shade from the sun or rain, both for me and my equipment. I would avoid outdoor bookings in very cold temperatures, due to the guitar not being able to stay in tune.

I'll usually send over my full set list, and you're welcome to veto any songs you'd rather not hear!

If you're catering for guests of all ages, I generally recommend keeping the song choices fairly flexible to ensure there's something for everyone. However, if the performance is simply to reflect your personal taste, I'm more than happy to tailor the set list and only perform the songs you love.

I usually receive great feedback for creating the right atmosphere, adapting to the audience, and delivering a polished, memorable performance.
