Yes, if your event is outside of my radius don't worry, if transport links (train) are good to and from the venue then please get in touch to discuss your event.
Recently played Black Deer Festival with my band, any festival is great though, enjoying playing many great venues in London, including Nambucca/ sound cafe's/ old street records.
Alanis Morissette has been a continued inspiration since I was a child, I'll always get at least one song into every set if I can
I started off as a busker, hammered the streets of London then grew from there. I'm very lucky to be able to do what I do and have built such a great network of venues and musicians since living here.
Festivals, people are always in such great spirits and for once its just about great music, phone signal is always pretty dia so people have no choice but to live in the moment and vibe with you, its like one collective energy, really beautiful.
Setup approx 15 minutes - usually arrive 1 hour before
Common performance booking is 2 x 45 minutes
happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area
Of course, requests welcome limit to this is 5 songs. I can also send my set list prior and clients are free to cherry pick if they wish.
slick performance with high energy, i want people to have fun and do my best to make that happen at every event
