About / Biography

Simon Williams is one of the very best solo singer/guitarists in the area. A singer for hire or musician for hire he can perform on his own or as a duo depending on what is required. He sometimes describes his style as "Acoustic Rock" playing well known party covers for all ages. Perfect for pubs, parties, weddings restaurants he will make any music night go with a swing - or even perfect for relaxing background music. With over twenty years of experience Simon guarantees a standard that few can match and, with a very long list of songs in his repertoire, he can cater for all tastes.

Can provide 2 hours of original music or up to 3 hours of great acoustic covers from the 60's to present day.

Simon is also the guitarist in a professional Alanis Morissette Tribute act who can be hired through Simon as a Duo or as a full band - see video

Wedding Singer, 21st birthday Party? 30th, 40th, 50th Birthday? Whatever the occasion Simon will tailor the music perfectly to the audience.

Chart hits from Ed Sheeran to Queen to the Beatles, Simon will even learn that special song of yours especially for you. Looking to hire a band? Then look no further.

Caters for Private parties, weddings, christenings, house parties, BBQs, pubs, corporate events. Based in Wokingham Simon covers live music for Oxford, Surrey, Berkshire, South East England and Buckinghamshire.

Over 10 years of gigging experience most recently as a resident musician at Francesco's Italian in Maidenhead, and gigs at the 2014 Santander Formula 1 British Grand Prix at Silverstone, finalist at Hampshire's Festival Factor competition and one of the headline acts at the Berlin Vagabond Festival. Having played for years as a guitarist and behind-the-scenes songwriter for many bands, (with good levels of success including a sell out headline slots at the packed “Sound” nightclub in London’s Leicester Square and international radio play in South Africa) Simon took the step into solo performing in 2008 in fairly daunting way. His first ever solo performance saw Simon take the stage in front of a 2,000 strong audience in Hammersmith, an experience that saw him grow quickly in confidence and set the path for his debut album “40 Miles West” just two years later.
