About / Biography

I'm Jack! An acoustic solo artist based in the North of England, but I frequently perform at weddings, festivals and corporate events all over the world. Recent highlights include Tuscan Villas, Festivals in Bahrain and Rooftop Gigs in Budapest!

Over the last 10 years I've become highly specialised in wedding performances including ceremonies, afternoon drinks reception sets, providing background music during a meal, first dances and of course bringing a great party atmosphere to finish the day on a high.

I predominantly perform acoustically, sometimes with a stompbox for some extra energy (think Mumford & Sons!) but I can also provide a duo, backing track sets or even a full band if that's what you're looking for.

My setlists often change as I like to tailor them to the particular audience I'm playing for, but some of my favourite artists to cover include Harry Styles, Fleetwood Mac, Sam Fender, The Beatles, George Ezra and many more, if you have a favourite artist or genre then I'm always happy to tailor the set to you and your guests.

I've included some of my more frequently played songs on the 'Song List' but this is by no means a complete list.

I look forward to being a part of your day!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

If I'm performing solo all I will need is a small sturdy table, one plug socket, one parking space & a covered contingency location if the performance is outdoor and the weather is bad.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, fully self contained with PA and basic lights if required.


What information do you require about a venue?

It's good to know in advance if there will be a sound limiter, but this isn't a huge problem.


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

Yes, I'm happy to play music from spotify before, in between & after performances. I can provide playlists or play music of your choosing.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Last year I played a wedding ceremony on Fisherman's Bastion in Budapest (look it up if you haven't seen it!) and then played an evening party set on a hotel rooftop on the other side of the river, that was pretty special!


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

I love lots of different styles of music, but I'll always have a special spot spot for The Beatles.


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

I started playing professionally when I left school, and have been performing all over the world since then with a small break to finish my music degree in the middle!


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

Weddings are always very special.


Can You Perform With A Larger Lineup?

Yes! I can provide anything from myself and my guitar all the way up to a 5 piece band

Popular options include

POA for all options

Additional Saxophone
Acoustic Duo with second vocal & lead guitar

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I typically arrive 90 minutes before the start of my set/ when background music is needed. I perform 2x 60 minute sets as standard, but playing for longer/ different timings can be arranged, even on the day!


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes if the area is flat, dry, and has power.


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

Clients are always welcome to choose songs from my repertoire and let me know if they have any special requests!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Lot's of fun, and tiring from all of the dancing!
