I am very compact and need little room as I sit on a stool with my guitar and have a small amplifier next to me. My amplifier is battery-powered so I don't need a power supply. For a louder volume I have a larger amplifier which requires one power outlet.
I provide all the sound. I have no need for lighting.
All I need to know is the exact location of the venue.
No.
I played Wembley Arena in the late 1980's, supporting Level 42.
Beatles, Beach Boys, Chet Atkins, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, Erik Satie. Chopin's Barcarolle is the greatest piece of music ever written.
I started gigging instrumental covers not long after I started busking, which was in 2010, however I've been playing live for 45 years. I get many people who see me, asking for my business card and contacting me to play at weddings and parties.
Anything! Weddings and parties are great.
I have a very basic set up so it takes me not more than FIVE minutes to set up! I can play anything from an hour to three hours.
Definitely.
They are usually happy with my repertoire - after all, that is why they have picked me! Occasionally, they will request a song, such as a first dance at a wedding.
Great guitar music that brings back a lot of happy memories because most of my repertoire is quite old, much like the audience!
