Power

I bring my own guitar, microphone and leads. Full Bose PA system is provided for every booking. Both speakers are battery operated and can be repositioned easily. A separate wireless mic can be provided for speeches etc.
I do not use or provide lighting.

Power points
Any parking tips would be handy.

Happy to provide background music in-between sets, which I can play via my phone to my PA system, which is bluetooth compatible.

My band Sianar fought off competition from over 1000 bands and won a slot on the main stage at Scotfest, held at the Royal Highland Showground in Edinburgh. We were chosen by Jermaine Jackson (The Jacksons) and Adele Lynch (Bewitched) and played to over 3000 people, sharing the stage with Boyzone, The Jacksons, 5ive, Bewitched and Les McKeown.

Where do I start. First memories of music are of dad playing Billy Joel's "Innocent Man" album. Then mum bought Queens "Innuendo' which kinda lit the fire. When I heard The Beatles my life changed forever. Now I'm a regular listener of the classics, Fleetwood Mac, Springsteen, Elton, Elvis, Eagles, to newer artists like Coldplay, Paolo Nutini, Taylor Swift, Oasis, One Republic, Sam Fender.

I started drumming in a band when I was about 15, which lasted till I was about 22. In this time I'd learned guitar and started songwriting, which I continued to develop after the band split. I initially started gigging my own songs at open mics, but started gigging covers when I got offered money to play my local bar. Since then I've played thousands of gigs all across the UK, and as far afield as NYC, Nashville and San Francisco. I also do music production for my own tracks, and for local artists.

I love playing all events. Doing the cocktail hour at weddings are the least pressure actually, (unless I know I'm singing a first dance, or singing a bride up the aisle). Weekend city centre pub gigs are fast paced and fun, but you've got to be on your A game, and restuarants have all the kids challenging you to play modern songs I've never heard. I guess garden parties in the sun are probably top of the list.

Set up time: 20 minutes

Yes, as long as I'm covered from the elements and it's not too cold.

Of course. I have a large setlist I can provide a client with, If you can let me know in advance I will arrange a tailored setlist for the occasion.

People always compliment me on the varied range of songs I do. Having played in hundreds of venues, from holiday parks, weddings, bars, and restaurants, to care homes and nurseries, I've had to learn a vast array of songs to keep up. Everything from ABBA to ACDC. Patsy Cline to Ed Sheeran. Johnny Cash to Jessie J.
