Frequently Asked Questions

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

The best gig I’ve ever done was with Hed Kandi for NYE.

The production was amazing as were the DJs and crowd

As for the best venue, Ed Paradis in Ibiza was amazing!


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

I’ve been influenced by world music from birth and to suggest a favourite would be near impossible.

However, The Rolling Stones have influenced me the most with their music and their performances.


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

I started playing drums and percussion as soon as I was big enough to hit a drum. It all started with Latin Instruments and later my dad’s old drum kit.
Then as time progressed I played in bands and later, a friend said his bar needed a percussionist for a house night, I said I was interested and the rest is history.

It’s now 12 years as a professional musician.


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

Any gig where the musicians gel together.


Do you just play Walkabout Bongos?

No, I play a variety of Percussion instruments, however, for the right event I also play a ‘full’ percussion setup of Congas,Bongos and Cymbals


Do you perform abroad?

Yes absolutely. We can make the arrangements once we start talking.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I prefer to arrive around 30-40 minutes before the event to ensure everything is sound checked and ready. Pack down normally takes around 15 minutes max.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I’ll perform anywhere


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

Generally I’ll play along to whatever the DJ is playing, and if you’ve selected songs with the DJ , I’ll be happy to Jam along with him


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

High energy, dynamic and immersive.


Do you walk amongst the crowd?

Absolutely, I love it. It’s great to interact with the audience and get them involved
