Ste provides a PA system, mics, stands & his own instruments.
Ste needs to know any directions that will help him find a venue, the right place to park and where to load in.
Ste is happy to play music from Spotify between his sets. He's happy to choose the music himself or let the client choose the music. He also provides a DJ service which can be added to any live package for a small additional cost.
Ste has played some incredible events in his career. From touring his original music with Morcheeba, playing weddings are far flung as Thailand and the Gambia to joining a bill with Lionel Ritchie.
Ste draws from many different styles of music to create his signature sound. From old jazz standards to soul and more modern indie and folk.
Ste Forshaw has been a full time gigging musician for most of his adult life. Starting out by busking on the streets of Liverpool and London, he was soon picked up by people with weddings and parties to book and has been a regular feature on the functions circuit ever since. Splitting his time between function & charity work and writing & performing his original music, Ste has a busy and varied career.
It's very hard to beat a wedding for atmosphere- seeing people on the happiest days of their lives is a huge thrill. In recent years Ste has also done a lot of work with Charities in the North west, bring music to dementia care homes, children's hospitals and more, this is undoubtedly some of the most fulfilling work in his schedule.
For parties and corporate events, Ste normally plays 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. He's happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best. For weddings, we have a large range of timing and package options.
Ste is happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area
Ste is happy to learn a couple of specific songs before the event. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them too.
Previous clients have commonly remarked on the quality of Ste's voice, the ease of his manner and his willingness to take requests and get involved with guests.
