Hi. I'm a vocalist and multi instrumentalist with many years of experience providing bespoke music for special events.
My background is mainly in Jazz and Folk but I am a versatile performer with a diverse catalogue of songs including soul, pop, blues and classical.
I accompany myself on guitar and piano but can also put bigger bands together if required. I am lucky to know an extensive network of musicians with whom I regularly work and can put together ensembles such as jazz trios, pop/ soul bands if required.
I like to play a broad mixture of popular songs old and new, as well as some jazz standards. I am happy to do some request songs especially for weddings and special occasions.
Based in Frome, Somerset

I need a performance space of approx 2m squared, 1x 13amp power socket and 1 parking space.
I provide my own equipment but also love to play a real piano if available. I don't provide lighting.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment and park. A phone number for a contact is essential. I need to know if the event is going to be outside or in an unusual setting.
I am happy to provide recorded music between sets and can put together my own playlist or a playlist put together by the client.
Cambridge Folk Festival, The Stables, The Vortex.
I grew up on Ella Fitzgerald and Joni Mitchell but also love singing Elton John, Olivia Rodrigo, Adele and Rihanna.
I started gigging in my teens and went on to study music.
Family gatherings, weddings and parties, hotels with nice pianos!
I usually arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. It takes 20-30mins to set up. I usually play 2x 45minute sets with a 20-30min break in between. I am often happy to add a third set if invited to do so (see prices).
Weather permitting I am happy to play outside but ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. I also like to know if it's an outside gig as early as possible in the booking process if the performance is between October and April. If it's in the Summer then I'm more happy to be flexible and am happy to change plans as long as the space is suitable.
I'm happy to take some requests from clients and especially enjoy doing surprise songs or first dances to create the perfect moment.
Most customers describe my performance with comments such as 'you played all my favourite songs', 'your performance blended perfectly with our party'. I love to play accross multiple genres to ensure that there's a classic in there for everyone.
