2 x 240 sockets NOT SHARED with any other appliances
Floor space of 2m x 2m
Yes, PA & Small lighting system provided
Stage size & location, parking, sound limiter
Yes, Spotify only
A stage is always preferable as it provides health and safety during his performance
Approx 2m x 2m is enough
Yes, Steve has 2 x Bose S1 Pro which are amazing quality and battery powered so if your event is in the woods, on a beach or half way up a cliff (kidding) then you can still have live music
Yes, as long as space is provided and usual health & safety concerns are addressed
It is always nice to provide soft drinks and nibbles but Steve certainly doesn't require a full meal
I have been in the music industry since 1996. For many years I was a session guitarist playing for Lionel Richie, Peter Andre, Darren Hayes (Savage Garden). The BEST gig was The Royal Albert Hall in 2007 which was a dream come to true for me. I have also played on TOTP as guitarist for the #1 artist (Peter Andre - Mysterious Girl). I have played many iconic venues around the world and as it's been nearly 30 years I've kind of lost count ;)
My love of music (guitar) began with Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, BB King, Johnny Cash, Gary Moore but really the list is endless. As a music teacher of over 20years I am constantly exposed to new music and find myself liking the most surprising offerings from my mini rock stars.
I have been a full time musician since 1996. I generally perform between 175 - 230 gigs every year. I can safely say that there isn't a gig or type of performance I haven't done. TV, Radio, Stadium, Huge Venues, Tiny Venues, Front Rooms, Hospital Wards, High Street, Funeral.... literally I've done them all
Any event where the audience are appreciative of live music and willing to invest a little of time to engage and join in. I like busy rowdy bars and know exactly what to play but equally I love playing "evening with' shows where I sing all my own original music and talk about the inspiration behind the songs. I absolutely LOVE playing outdoor summer festivals with the full band on a nice big stage with a happy sunny crowd singing along
Some do but not Steve. As part of his regular performance he uses Looping Technology, Bass Sampler & a vocal harmoniser so in songs it sounds like a full band all coming from one person
Set Up - approx 30 minutes
Standard sets are 2 x 45 minutes within a 2 hours period from start to finish times
Yes as long as weather precautions are in place (including shelter from the Sun)
I have a list of over 400 songs and though I'm happiest 'reading' the crowd and playing what I know will work; I am also happy for the clients to suggest their favourites from my list as well. I also learn special songs e.g First Dance etc
I have hundreds of positive reviews dating back to 2008 but generally clients say things like "Perfect for what we needed", "really got the crowd going", "Steve read the room expertly", "amazing voice", "fantastic guitar player", "professional, friendly & punctual"....etc
Yes, I have a small Bose amp which is perfect for Wedding Ceremonies, Restaurants etc
My motto has always been "If someone wants to dance there is nothing you can do to stop them" but yes I have plenty of songs that are upbeat and danceable but if this is your main concern you might want to consider my band option
Steve is one of the UK's busiest and most booked Entertainers. Often turning down more enquires in a year than is possible to play. From the moment you book Steve you can expect prompt answers to any questions, a phone call if you prefer and a genuine duty of care to make sure your event is the best it can be
It would be impossible to learn a full list of songs for each event when you consider that Steve plays upwards of 200 shows per year. However, special songs like the First Dance, anniversary song, etc can be learnt if enough notice is given (4 weeks)
NO, you can have the following options
Solo - Acoustic Guitar + Vocals
Duo - as solo + Violin with female vocals
Trio - As solo + Drums & Bass Guitar
4 piece - as Duo with Drums & Bass Guitar
5 piece - as 4 piece + Keyboards
Nashville Nights Country Show - See Separate Profile listing on LMM
Yes, his repertoire is extensive (400+ songs) from the 1950's to present day
Yes, the performance list is quite fluid as songs drift in and out of popularity. Once booked Steve will provide an up to date song list
YES!! Steve has a power rock trio that plays the same songs but in an energetic rock delivery. Here you find some serious solo's and Steve is known for jumping on tables and being a bit flash (Table Invasion)
