About / Biography

I am a high calibre solo acoustic guitarist and I play a mix of modern instrumental covers, flamenco and some live looping jazz standards.

My guitar playing is great for background music during wedding canapes, parties, over dinner or anything similar to that! If you choose the modern covers, then the best thing is your guests can enjoy guessing what I'm playing - meaning they'll have a great time at your event whilst also debating what song they're hearing! If you choose the Spanish set, then you get a taste of Andalucian Spain without having to transport all your guests to the Mediterranean! And if you prefer a hint of jazz, then there's just enough to keep you entertained.

Please check out my video and see what you think. And if you like it, then please get in touch and we'll see what we can sort out!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I will need:
* at least 1 mains power socket to power the speakers.
* About 2m x 1m space to set-up the speakers but can be smaller for smaller venues
* If the performance is to be outdoors, then provisions should be made in case of bad weather
* Drinking water


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I bring my own PA system but no significant lighting.


What information do you require about a venue?

Contact details, parking arrangements, loading in entrance - anything that makes the even run smoothly.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

No but you are welcome to plug an iPod or similar into the PA (you will need to supply the cable to connect it).

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually play 2 x 45min sets but this can be extended to 2 x 1hr sets if requested.

I normally like to have about an hour to set-up as this allows me to optimise the quality of the performance.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes if the surface is flat, there is mains power and most importantly, there is rain-proof shelter.


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

Choice is from my repertoire.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Fantastic background music.
