I just need a small space, near to a power source....plus a chair without arms.
No, I'm a purely live act and don't rely on backing tracks, foot pedals or loop stations. I have a small acoustic guitar amplifier which works really well with my nylon string guitar.
I just need to know;
1) size of venue,
2) approximate number of guests expected,
3) parking/ Unloading situation,
4) timings for each set or sets required.
No, I'm a purely live act.
Yes, I play both. I always bring my wonderful jazz arch top guitar for the jazz songs, along with my nylon string classical guitar for classical material and contemporary tunes.
A duo gig with a bass player at a gastro pub in Teddington in June'24....lots of amazing feedback from staff, management and customers!
My favourite artists are;
Martin Taylor, Joe Pass, Grant Green and Herb Ellis (all guitarists!).
The greatest song of all time is, 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles, closely followed by 'Vincent' by Don McClean.
I've been gigging since my late teens, so a very long time ! My very first gig was within my brother's cabaret band...what a laugh we all had! 😀
I particularly like to play at Weddings, Anniversaries or Birthday parties.
I play both to suit the clients' requirements.
Often, I will play unintrusive music in the first set and then play livelier material in the second...it really depends on what the client wants.
No, I do not use a loop pedal or any pedals for that matter.
I sincerely believe in the pure sound of both of my guitars , via my equally amazing Acus amp.
I only need a small space , near to a power socket. I can set up and tune up within twenty minutes.
Typically, I will play two 45 minute sets with a short break in - between. These timings can be tweaked, of course, to suit the clients' requirements.
Yes, provided it's the not raining / snowing.
Yes, absolutely. I offer clients a choice of 3/4 favourite songs which I can arrange and play for them. They can also browse my current repertoire listing and choose any favourite numbers. I'm very flexible in this regard.
Professional, original and very personable/ friendly. My
technical expertise and versatility are often commented on also.
Typically, I will play two, 45 minute sets, centred around the clients' instructions and timings.
I can, of course, just play one single set if that might prove more suitable.
