I just need a flat performance space of 1.5 metres x 1.5 metres with 2 x 13 amp power sockets and 1 parking space close to the performance space.
No.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to access the performance space. Also, any requirements the client or venue have of me.

I embarked on my musical journey many years ago under the guidance of the world-renowned Guitarist Graham Wade. A former Professor and Head of Strings at Leeds College of Music, Wade is a celebrated biographer, author, and a global authority on the Classical Guitar. Throughout my career, I have played with bands of many styles, orchestras and a diverse range of ensembles spanning classical, contemporary, and rock genres. I have attended masterclasses by legendary Guitarists such as John Williams and Julian Bream. I am a teacher and session musician, covering numerous styles and genres.
I love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are my favourite! The guests are always happy and the emotions and atmosphere are beautiful.
Set up is usually 45 minutes. Performances are background and usually 2 x 45 minute sets for receptions and corporate/private events. Wedding Ceremonies can be as much as an hour.
I am happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
I can learn specific pieces or songs before the event but I usually limit this to 2. Clients are welcome to pick particular pieces from my repertoire, to be notified in advance. I try to accommodate Client requests as events are usually very meaningful and important.
Previous Clients have described me as professional, accommodating, and delivering enchanting, classy, and relaxing background music to enhance their events.
