Hello! Thank you for viewing my listing! I'm Steve!
I'm a professional musician based in Gloucestershire. I have been performing professionally for 25+ years across the world and am one of the busiest and most in-demand singers/acoustic guitarists in the region. I've toured all over the world with my band, and have made a living from music since I was a teenager.
I absolutely love performing at weddings, parties, functions and events and have played 1000s over the years - there are very few scenarios or special requests I haven't encountered! I've have a very varied, tasteful and interesting repertoire of songs that suit almost all occasions and tastes. I am also available to play pubs, clubs and house parties.
I play acoustic covers of well known and popular songs across the Rock, Pop, Soul, Folk, Jazz, Blues and Reggae genres. My set-list covers everything from 50's Rock n Roll to modern day classics.
I have a versatile, tasteful style that can adapt to whatever is needed - whether it's a chilled set of acoustic classics during reception drinks, or a full-on party set before a DJ or full band. I'm a fun and engaging performer who really thrives on 'reading the room' and playing the right songs at the right time. I'm also great with on-the-spot requestt! With advance notice I can learn almost anything!
I'm a really flexible, accommodating person and can adapt to whatever your event needs. But, as easy going as I am you can be assured of a genuinely professional service by someone who makes their living from making music. I have high-end, professional level equipment that can be adapted to all occasions and am entirely self contained.
I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your event - I pride myself on communicating quickly and can usually come back to you straight away.
I'm in the process of updating my videos (Spring/Summer 2025). Videos never really do any performer justice, and sometimes even give a false impression due to highly edited and polished post-production. Feedback from my clients has always been overwhelmingly positive, and I take a huge amount of pride in my work.
I look forward to hearing from you!

1 x plug point within reasonable reach
1 x high stool or chair (not always necessary)
If performing outdoors: Some cover for my equipment if rain is likely.
Yes, I'm completely self contained. I bring my own PA system to all of my gigs as well as a simple lighting rig."
I would need to know any special directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment.
Yes, but I will need to know in adavance.
I usually need at least 30 minutes to set up, but have set up in as little as 15 minutes. For private functions I usually arrive at least 45 minutes before I'm due to start, and always leave home with a view to arriving 1 hour before I start
My typical set-length is 2 x 45 mins or 2 x 1hr sets, but am very comfortable with any arrangement. I don't always need a break, and circumstances where I'm required to play 'straight through' are totally fine.
Absolutely! I'll just need a plug relatively near me, and it would be great to be in the shade. If the weather is changable I will need rain-cover, such as a gazebo, so my equipment doesn't get unexpectedly wet.
Yes of course, most clients give me a bit a direction in terms of the types of bands, artists and vibe they want. It's generally not practical for clients to pick every song. I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 3-5 songs.
