| Solo: Electric Guitar and backing tracks: £490 |
I am a singer/guitarist. I work all over the country with my function/party band, and also I do solo work all over the South East and beyond, playing live electric guitar with vocals over backing tracks.
I have worked with tons of people including Take That, Tom Jones and Billy Ray Cyrus, played at the biggest venues in the country (Wembley Arena, NEC Birmingham, Sheffield Arena, Brixton Academy etc) and have done a couple of West End shows including Elvis The Musical (as a guitar player ...not as Elvis!)
I have worked solo in many pub venues all over the place plus many functions and parties, playing anything from background jazz (Satin Doll¹, Georgia etc) to classic soul and pop (Superstition, Brown Sugar etc) to more current material (Amy Winehouse,The Kaiser Chiefs, Kings of Leon)
I normally do 3 x 50 minutes sets of music during an evening. Depending on the evening, it can be purely background - say, early in the evening or a sunday afternoon or for a bigger party, it can be more interactive¹ (ie louder and funkier!).
On a function such as a wedding, anniversary or birthday, I provide background music in between sets on an iPod playlist, to keep the atmosphere going - classic motown, indie-dance, R&B, whatever is suitable - so no need for a DJ. I keep the party going until the last minute....in fact its very hard to get me off if its going well!!
I bring all my own gear - p.a. system, amplifiers, guitars, backing tracks etc - and it doesn¹t have to be too loud...just loud enough!'
Mark also plays a selection of traditional Irish tunes - see the repertoire list for some examples.
