Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I will need two power sockets near me.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I can provide an amplifier and/or DI box. if DI is used my amplifier can also double as my monitor, Or I have my own Wireless in-ear monitoring system,

I simply need to know the address and how the band will be amplified.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

If required I can make a Spotify playlist to provide music while not playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I have played many fantastic gigs in all types of venues. Shady pubs, weddings, corporate events and even my friend's living room.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I love Paul Bender of Hiatus Kayote, Charles Mingus, and James Jameson. There are many more, but it is a very long list!


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

I performed my first "real" paid gig at age 16 with my little indie-pop group. Since then I have performed in orchestras, pop rock and jazz bands, and conducting youth ensembles.


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

I just like to play! Any gig with atmosphere or energy is great fun.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

In my experience 1.5 hours is a good amount of time to set up and soundcheck. This accounts for most delays however unforeseen circumstances can lead to a longer setup time.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, however if there is rain I will need to either move inside or have cover provided. There must be power nearby if you are asking me to play an electric instrument.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

There is a degree of flexibility, but if there are many pieces to learn or some pieces are particularly complex then I will need a good amount of preparation time.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Many clients don't notice too much from bass guitar, unless I'm playing a funk groove or solo! As part of a group we have been described as "perfect", "incredible", "epic", "mesmerising", and other high praises.
