A solo singer guitarist and well honed performer with a brilliant tried and tested list of songs from present and back to the 60s. 80s pop! 90s rock! Noughties indie rock and roll! Upbeat and singalong from start to finish.
I mix in a loop pedal into all genres and like to read a crowd and vary my setlist accordingly.
Events I've played- Dive bars, private members clubs, cocktail bars, weddings, festivals, 20th birthday parties, 60th birthday parties, street parties, school fairs and awards shows!
I bring all my own gear and can even DJ for you afterwards if you need it.
I can do duo, trio or quartet.
Based in Poole, Dorset

I need 2 x 13amp sockets. A space of 3x3 metres ish to play. And a parking spot or loading bay if not available. I also request a space/room to change and leave things and to eat. Food is always helpful but not essential if it is difficult to organise.
Yes I’ve got all the necessary equipment. I provide all my own sound and some basic lighting.
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
A couple met at one of our regular Friday night gigs in London and when they got married flew us out to Barcelona. It’s a special memory. The sun going down, everyone singing along at the top of their voices. Good times.
So many! Prince. Freddie Mercury. Paul Simon. Fleetwood Mac. Amy Winehouse. The Killers. Lady Gaga and my favourite is Chris Stapleton. We cover a few genres and love the variety.
I played drums and guitar and started drumming for my cousin when I was at drama school learning to act! We ended playing gigs and swapping instruments. I love pop and indie and have learn so much learning great classic tunes. I’ve whittled down our setlist to the best and most popular tunes from all the ages.
I love a mad noisy Friday night in a packed sweaty venue with the full band. But I also love a school fair when there’s a bunch of toddlers in the mosh pit asking for Let it Go!
I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 50 minutes. I’m happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade or rain cover, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. If it’s cold then an outside heater is a must for the guitar players fingers!
Clients don’t have to choose the set but can give me preferences. I’m happy to send out my repertoire and people can ask for certain songs to be included (or left out!). If I have time I can learn a song.
Where better than to discard false humility. I can honestly say that after most gigs people come up and either ask for a card or say but was amazing and that they loved it. Often they comment on the range of songs and genres and how it’s great for so many ages too. People are always up and dancing!
Yes! I know a good selection of ambient and atmospheric songs or versions that are a great accompaniment to dining. I’m happy to play unplugged.
I have a good few Christmas songs in the repertoire because I love Christmas and some of the tunes at that time of year are the best.
