I have many years experience in live performance. I offer a professional and friendly service with a wide repertoire of pop, dance, soul and jazz music.
For the last 15 years I have dedicated myself to performing at weddings, private functions, parties and events throughout the south of England.
I can either perform as a solo act alongside professionally recorded backing tracks perfect for a drinks receptions, through a wedding breakfast or can offer something more upbeat for an evening function. I can also perform alongside your DJ.
I hold full public liability insurance and all my equipment is PAT tested, certificates can be provided for your venue.
I have performed at hundreds of weddings both locally and nationally along with many DJ sets and private functions. I've also had experience playing abroad in Koh Samui, Thailand, Taiwan and Europe.
I have won the Dorset Wedding Supplier Award for 'Live Musical Entertainment' and was also a finalist for three years.
