I can either play acoustically while walking around, or with a speaker for more volume. I can supply my own PA equipment.
Yes I can provide a PA
Directions to the venue and if they need PAT test certificates for speakers.
I usually play one 90 minute set but if you would like me to take a short break, I can play some background music through my speaker.
I have played to 1,500 in a theatre in Eastbourne with the BBC
Richard Galliano, Astor Piazolla, Frank Marocco
I started at age 17 with the family band, we were playing concerts and weddings.
Weddings
It only takes me 5 minutes to setup if I am playing acoustic while walking around. If I am playing to a larger room with more people and you would like me to bring a speaker, it takes me about 20 minutes to get setup.
Yes as long as there is somewhere under cover I can go if it starts raining, my accordion doesn't like water.
Clients can choose one request for me to learn, it takes me about three hours at home to learn a song so I limit it to one. I do however have a very large repertoire, so if it's accordion based music like Edith Piaf etc the chance is I will know it already.
My accordion set has been described as easy listening music that sets a european style atmosphere.
My set is 90 minutes long, this can be split into two 45 minute sets with a short break.
Yes if you want me to play acoustically without a speaker, I can walk around guests so everybody gets to hear the music.
