Whether acoustic style piano and voice or two-hand-band, all-live full band sound without backing tracks or a mix of both. Favourites from '50's through '80's, '90's and beyond. Fully self-sufficient with top=quality professional instruments, PA and lighting with PLI. Always and excellent response. Shows for 6 to 600. Bespoke sets by arrangement.
Based in Northampton, Northamptonshire
Performance space approximately 5m x 2m but can size to fit your space. 2 x mains sockets. 1 x parking space.
I am fully self-contained and can provide all equipment including sound and lighting as apprpriate to the event and in-house provision (if any, not required). For outdoor events, I can provide my own power if necessary to run a good size sound system and lighting (not just a little battery amplifier).
Depending on the complexity of the event, up to and hour and a half is required to set up. I need to know in advance if set-up is required earleir than the start of the event e.g. for a reception where set-up is required before guests arrive.
I can provide background music before and after and during breaks if required. This can be as loud as you like, for example, if you want to extend the party after I have finished playing.
Best gig - a tiny restaurant with no more than a dozen people, was so intimate and very memorable because of the interaction. Best venue - Northants Cricket Club charity dinner for 750 people. Was immense.
So many, but Billy Joel, Queen, Alicia Keys, all of the disco and rock'n'roll eras, Arctic monkeys, Beethoven, Jean Michelle Jarre, Michael Jackson.
I've been playing publicly since my early teens. I played pubs, clubs, hotels, cathedrals, churches, outdoor festivals, holiday parks. You name it I've probably palyed it or somewhere like it. Not yet at sea though ....
I love all events, every performance is a buzz when people are enjoying themselves ! I particularly love family celebrations and the outdoors in the summer.
Set-up time varies depending on the event, but an hour and a half for a full set-up including sound and lighting. Half an hour if PA and lighting are provided. Please give notice if set-up in advance is required e.g. before guests arrive or sit down for a meal. Set times and playing times by prior agreement but to suit the event.
Very happy. I love to play with the sun on me ! Not so good in the rain, especially with all the electricity.
Mixed. I have a set repertoire, I can flex somewhat to grant requests at the time and can work up a bespoke set or style with some advance notice.
Amazing, fabulous, very enoyable. Check my page for some recent reviews.
