Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Ix 13amp plug socket and 1x parking space.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide sound equipment for my backing tracks.


What information do you require about a venue?

Full address and postcode is required.


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

No.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

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.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I like a wide range of music and styles.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started playing music as a teenager and joined the Royal Artillery Band in Woolwich where I gained a lot of experience.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I enjoy playing at weddings, dinner nights or at any functions that require easy listening background music.


Can you play requests?

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.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

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.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to perform outside providing it's not cold and there is shelter against the weather.


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

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.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I get positive comments for background music as the natural timbre of the instrument is quite mellow.
