Stephen has been playing professionally for over 20 years. At the last count he had played over 600 gigs across multiple countries.
He cut his teeth playing to party mad crowds, day in out, day out, whilst living in the French alps across several years. Since then, he has established himself as a popular entertainer in around the South East.
His extenstive repertoire of crowd pleasing standards and modern hits, combined with his warm, lively and engaging style, make him a great choice for celebrations and parties.
He also fronts a highly successful events band (The Loops, also on this site) but particularly loves the intimacy and flexibility of his solo performances
Based in Henley On Thames, Oxfordshire

Yes. I'm completely self contained. I bring my own PA and simple lighting for me and my immediate surrounding
Yes. This is a common request from most of my clients and am happy to provide
I typically play 2x60 minute sets.
I'm happy to play a bit longer (or shorter) but have found these set times suit audiences best
I'm happy to play outside but ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area
I can learn specific songs before the event. Clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music based on the crowd and the general vibe on the day
Warm, engaging, friendly, flexible.
I'm commonly told that I have a knack for choosing the right selection of songs for the crowd. I have a large repertoire of songs and will adapt to the crowd.
