Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Both amplifiers can be run on mains power but can also run on internal batteries, ideal for outdoors so no power supply is necessary. A small, armless chair and a glass of water are all that is required.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I have 3 set ups from small restaurant to larger venue.
I also have backdrop stage lights.


What information do you require about a venue?

Is there onsite parking, how large a room and how many guests - this determines what size speakers I'll need.


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

Yes

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Playing a post 6 Nations gig at The Bagshot Hotel for the England Rugby team.
Although I've never felt so short in my life!


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

My musical heroes are Debussy, Paul Simon and John Williams (the guitarist)
Music is rarely perfect but these guys are pretty close.


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

I played a solo gig at my village pub when I was 16, after which I was asked to give guitar lessons to some local children.
After years of practice and lots of experience, I think I'm getting the hang of it.


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

I love weddings. The venues, the outfits, the general sense of celebration.
Being even a small part of it always makes me happy.


Can you learn a song for my wedding ceremony?

Yes I can.
I usually create an instrumental version of your chosen song, I can record and send to you for your wedding video.
This is an extra cost of £50.


Can you play the wedding breakfast?

I can, but honestly it's not always a good idea.
After 2 hours of prosecco and sunshine, large tables of chatting wedding guests are pretty loud.
Adding live music to the general volume only works with smaller groups.
If you have 50 or more guests at the meal, I'd put some background music on the house speakers and save on the extra cost.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set up takes no more than 10 minutes, performance times are catered for the occasion, up to 3 hours or so with a short break is standard.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes. Because I play so many outdoor weddings and garden parties, I have invested in 2 battery powered PA systems.
I can play anywhere.


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

I have a huge repertoire of over 400 songs and instrumentals.
Clients are welcome to choose / veto whatever they like.
If you have a request that's not on my list, do get in touch and I'll see what I can do.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Looking at my Google reviews, words like wonderful, mesmerising, beautiful, fabulous and talented come up a lot.
