Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a performance space of 3x3m minimum, and require at least 1 x 13 amp power socket.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes! I am completely self sufficient with a full, compact PA syatem, and can provide a small lighting rig to accompany the performance if needed.


What information do you require about a venue?

I will need to know if the venue has any specific access requirements, along with any sound restrictions such as a sound limiter.


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

Absolutely! I am happy to play music between sets from either my spotify playlists, or the chosen music by the client.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I was asked to perform at Harry Maguire's 30th birthday which was a very cool gig to play!


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

I have been a huge country music fan for years. My absolute favourite artist has to be Chris Stapleton. That voice is something else.


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

I have been performing since 2014. I started out playing small pubs locally, which over the years, has expanded to playing countless weddings, & private functions


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

Wedding evening receptions are always great fun. Lots of happy people drinking and singing along always makes for a good night.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive around 30mins before the performance to set up. This only usually takes around 10 minutes, leaving time to say hello before i get cracking.
Most commonly i perform 2x 45 min sets to kick off the night, though i'm happy to play longer and later.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes absolutely! When the weather allows of course.
All i need is a power supply... or if need be, i can wander around and perform unplugged with my guitar.


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

I'm happy to take one or 2 requests, but i usually tailor my setlist on the day from my own repertoire to suit what seems to be going own well with guests.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Certainly high energy depending on the type of event. I have a pretty diverse repertoire, which allows me to start out slow and work up to a high energy performance!
