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.
Based in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey

I require 2 power sockets and a space to set up of a minimum of 3x3 metres if it’s a solo performance.
Yes I have a full PA system and a simple stage lightning rig. Completely self contained!
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.
Yes I’m happy to play background music.
I’ve performed all over the world. Including supporting chart topping acts like Frank Turner and Billy Ocean. My biggest crowd was 2000 people.
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!
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!
One where everyone there loves music. I love a good singalong as well!
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 ;)
Yes. Providing precautions for rain are taken into account and I have power
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.
