I wasn't able to tell people at the time, but I can now say that I did a very intimate gig for the Royal Air Force in Northern Ireland a few years ago. That was very special, and I was invited to perform for longer that originally agreed upon!
I'm a big Paul McCartney fan, he's my favourite Beatle. Greatest song ever? That's tough. Bohemian Rhapsody has to come close.
I've been musical pretty much my whole life. After graduating from the University of Manchester with a degree in Psychology, it was either pursue a career in academia or give music a go. I chose the latter.
I specialise in weddings and private events, but I'm open to other adventures.
Generally speaking, a mixture of both. I try to put a set together that I feel will be a good mix to please a broad audience. I’m happy to discuss songs beforehand and I’m always happy to take requests at my gigs.
30 minute set up time
Typical performance length of 2 x 45 minute sets
More than happy - my PA system can run on battery power.
My audience comes first. I tailor my gigs to how my clients want them, usually by choosing what songs I think my guests want to hear and also by playing what I feel is my strongest material.
