About / Biography

If you are looking for lively and fun or mellow and romantic live music for your event but prefer to have something that is truly versatile and takes up less room than a band, then a solo Guitarist could be the right choice...

A fuller sound than you might expect...
If your worried that a solo guitarist might not create a lively or full enough sound for your event, you'd be surprised...Despite being just one man, Martin can make a big sound through the use of his 'loop' pedal, allowing him to create the sound of two guitarists playing together! see him demonstrate this in the first two videos above.

"EVERY gig is special to me and I get enormous satisfaction from being versatile and tailoring what I do to fit the need perfectly...

See the videos above or listen to the clips on the right to get an idea of just a few of the varied styles I love.."

If your booking is Sunday to Thursday or close to Martin's post code you may qualify for a discount - please get in touch!

Other line-ups:

If you love the sound of the guitar but fancy the idea of having a bigger group or just another favourite instrument, violin or Double Bass perhaps? , then I regularly play with many other fantastic musicians...just ask!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I can be entirely self contained so no extra equipment is necessary. If needed can also be very mobile thanks to a battery-powered amplifier so performing outside (weather permitting) or away from mains power is possible, this can also be useful if you would like me to move during a booking, from an outdoor drinks reception into an indoor dining area for example.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I can be set up within 10-15 minutes of arrival at the venue.
performance times are entirely flexible so can can be entirely tailored to suit your event, whether it be three 45 minute sets or twelve 10 minute interludes!
