If you're looking for a singalong act, or a replica or your fave group, look elsewhere. If you're still here, you might be interested in my original tunes, and my unique covers. I play guitar, sing and play drums with my feet. No backing tracks, all organic performances.
I have a wide repertoire (up to 4 hours - 2 hours is the norm) of originals and covers. I play my stuff with high energy, and to an exceptionally high standard - I've been gigging for over 45 years! As for punters, I can mix it with the best and roughest too - let me know if you need me to 'keep it clean' though. I'm thoroughly professional, and I won't let you down.
Aside from my own slide / roots and alternative rock tunes, contemporary acts I cover include Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Rory Gallagher, Portishead, Grace Jones, PiL, The Prodigy, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Dr Feelgood, Massive Attack, Fleetwood Mac (Peter Green). Older blues acts I cover include Robert Johnson, Son House, RL Burnside, Huddie Leadbetter, Muddy Waters, and Tony Joe White.
I play 'resonator' guitars, and 'create my own beats' live with kick and snare drums, played with my feet. It's taken a whole lot of time and effort, but it's a 'one man band' like you've never experienced before...
I have had great reviews, lots of radio airplay, I perform at prestigious festivals with great artists (e.g. Dr Feelgood, Boomtown Rats, Gordon Giltrap) and play regularly around the Worcs. / Glos. area and further afield.
So, take a punt - your guests will thank you for it!
