About / Biography

I am an experienced musician and performer who has performed in and at a wide variety of venues and events, with a set that can be adapted to suit almost any environment. I try to read the room and engage positively with an audience (where appropriate) to achieve the best possible experience for everyone. I can provide for subdued background music, loud Friday night bars, weddings, birthday parties, corporate events and everything in between.

I know around 300 songs, but some I play more regularly than others (listed below under "sample repertoire".) I tend to shine with folk, rock and pop. If you have a special song you want me to learn, I will happily learn it.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I require 2 power sockets and a space to set up of a minimum of 3x3 metres if it’s a solo performance.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes I have a full PA system and a simple stage lightning rig. Completely self contained!


What information do you require about a venue?

I’m happy to have a Skype call before hand to iron everything out, but I usually send an email which runs everything down and asks all the important logistical questions.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes I’m happy to play background music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

I’ve performed all over the world. Including supporting chart topping acts like Frank Turner and Billy Ocean. My biggest crowd was 2000 people.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Too many. Queen, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Noah Kahan, Neil Young, ABBA.

Queen always stand out to me and are probably my favourite band to cover. I do a full version of Bohemian Rhapsody on acoustic guitar and vocals, that took a lot of practice!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I’ve been gigging for over 10 years. It’s my entire life. My first show was at my school assembly when I was 14 and it’s all I’ve cared about since!


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

One where everyone there loves music. I love a good singalong as well!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set up usually takes 45 minutes and I play for x2 50 minute sets. Though I don’t get out a stop watch or anything ;)


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes. Providing precautions for rain are taken into account and I have power


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes. If it’s a wedding I’m happy to learn a special song for you. Otherwise I’m happy for you pick any songs off my repertoire.
