I have a chargeable sound system so no plug socket is needed
A comfortable seat Is all I require
I myself bring and supply my own Sound and live music
I provide and cover my own sound equipment , I do not provide lighting
Basic Location of a venue such as the address and postcode
Other side information is also helpful such as the type of venue etc
If needed I can provide general music through my speaker using my Spotify
It's hard to decide ! My style of guitar works well in many different settings as I am hired for everything from
Professional Artisan Markets / Restaurants/ Hotels/ Weddings/ Events
The Beatles, like 10 bands wrapped into one!
I started gigging many years ago since I taught myself guitar at the age of 14 , I'm self taught and create the arrangements myself withy highest level of care and detail
I love playing all different events as I love seeing/ meeting and entertaining all typed of people in all types of settings
I feel very fortunate to play guitar !
Yes I am also separately available to teach guitar for all skills and ages
On this site I currently only offer my instrumental fingerstyle guitar covers for full gigs as that's what my setlist is in
However I will soon be offering singing gigs as I am a deep voiced baritone singer where I can sing covers of all kinds
Setup takes me 15 minutes max but I always arrive early to be safe as I like to do sound checks with my clients.
I tend to play 2 x 60 minute sets
Or 3 x 60 minute sets as I believe it gives the customer more music for their money every hour
Yes I am frequently hired for outdoor events and my setup and equipment is suitable for it
A power supply is not vital but always welcomed
As fingerstyle is very complex and takes alot more skill and time than just learning chords
I am happy to take on any personal song request but it may slightly increase the price due to my extra hours of work.
