About / Biography

Ben here from Manchester. I have spent the most part of my life playing live in various bands and solo projects throughout the years so I have a wealth of experience in the live music field. From initially being a bassist and fry/scream vocalist to covering songs like Adele's Rolling In The Deep I have continued to develop my abilites in order to put on the best performance that I can.

Now I am focusing on playing as a one man acoustic act playing rock and pop covers from Foo Fighters to Britney Spears! I have my own mini PA so I can be self sufficent should you not have access to a PA system.

Some of the songs are play are as follows:

Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Times Like These - Foo Fighters
Angels - Robbie Williams
Baby One More Time - Britney Spears
Creep - Radiohead
Stand By Me - Ben E. King
How You Remind Me - Nickelback
Zombie - The Cranberries
Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen
Rolling In The Deep - Adele

I am always expanding and adding to my set list and always happy to learn specific songs if and when required and can play 2-3 hours of live music with short breaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Foo Fighters and Metallica are big influences of mine with 'Nothing Else Matters' by Metallica and 'Everlong' by Foo Fighters being two of the greatest songs ever written.


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

Since about the age of 14 I have been playing live music in a variety of cover bands, original bands and recording and releasing songs as a solo artist.


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

All events are fantastic to play at, but any where the guests are particularly happy and eager to sing and dance along always make the evening better.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 1.5 hours before the scheduled start times in order to set up and sound check. I usually perform 2 x 60 minute sets but I'm very flexible with the set times and quantity to accommodate.


Are you happy to perform outside?

So long as there is a flat surface, power supply and shade if required this is not a problem.


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

I can look into learning specific requests prior to the performance.
