Ix 13amp plug socket and 1x parking space.
I provide sound equipment for my backing tracks.
Full address and postcode is required.
No.
I have performed at venues including: the Hyatt Hotel in Muscat Oman, Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Abbey, Albanian TV, the British Consulates in Oman and Cyprus, the Nijmegen Marches in the Netherlands and was part of the Coronation of King Charles III.
I like a wide range of music and styles.
I started playing music as a teenager and joined the Royal Artillery Band in Woolwich where I gained a lot of experience.
I enjoy playing at weddings, dinner nights or at any functions that require easy listening background music.
Yes but if I don't have them on my play list, I'd need a couple of weeks to find the track and write the music out.
I don't require a lot of time to set up as I'm pretty much self contained, about 15/20minutes. I can play anything up to 3 hours if required in any combination of time slots or continuous if required.
I'm happy to perform outside providing it's not cold and there is shelter against the weather.
I have a repertoire of about 550 tracks, but if a song is required that I don't have as long as you give me a couple of weeks notice I can provide what is requested.
The selection of music can either be chosen specifically by you from my set list, or if you just want me to choose the music most fitting to the occasion that's also OK.
I get positive comments for background music as the natural timbre of the instrument is quite mellow.
I play regularly at the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton, Derbyshire.
