Frequently Asked Questions

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

I love my residency playing at the cosy White Hart Inn every Wednesday and Friday, but more recently, I've enjoyed doing larger weddings. You can't beat it on a sunny day.

Jeff Buckley was a massive influence on my singing and playing style.


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

I studied Popular Music at Napier University and have played in bands for years. After spending some years traveling, I decided to return to Edinburgh and do solo gigs. I haven't looked back since.


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

Weddings have a great atmosphere and I love it when I can engage with the crowd and take their requests.


What type of music will you play?

I have a wide-ranging repertoire. If you let me know what type of vibe you are looking for - romantic, upbeat, sing-along, dance-oriented, 70s, 90s etc, I will tailer my set list to fit the request. If not, I will read the room and play a mixture of songs and styles.

I will typically arrive 30 minutes before my performance. I usually play 50 minute sets with 15 minute breaks in between. Packing away takes 15 minutes.
