Adam was an absolute delight to have play at our wedding reception – we couldn’t recommend him more! He is such a lovely, talented guy. His communication leading up to the day was second-to-none and his style and setlist was just perfect for the occasion. He was very flexible on the day, moving around his set-up last minute, as dictated by the typical British weather! Thank you so much, Sophie & Alex Smith

Adam is such a talented guitarist. We absolutely loved listening to him perform at my son's birthday party. It really was the highlight of the whole party and my guests are still talking about it. His guitar covers are absolutely a joy to listen to. He's so good that you instantly recognise the songs he's performing and they definitely strike a chord. What's more, Adam also has a willing nature and is very accommodating. Just brilliant!

Hiring a live musician was a last minute add on to our wedding and I’m so glad we booked Adam. The communication was effortless and Adam had so much enthusiasm for our big day. I had my heart set on an old, unfinished John Lennon demo for my entrance song. Adam only wanted to play it once it was absolutely perfect. It was better than we ever could have ‘imagined’ ?? Thank you Adam for making our day so special

– Adam was booked for us as a surprise by our bridesmaids and it was literally the best surprise gift EVER! From start to finish he was unreal. Nothing was too much trouble, if I could give him 10 I would (5/5)

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Adam's arrangements and style are the perfect back drop for your special occasion. Customers are always left amazed by how much can be done by one person on one guitar and love that nothing is ever too much trouble. With years of experience, the process is effortless and you can be sure that everything is in safe hands from start to finish.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed all across the UK from from Wilton's Music Hall in London right to Keavil House Hotel, Dunfermline. Some notable venues along the way include Carden Park, Iscoyd Park and Cragwood Country House Hotel.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My playing style is somewhere right between Jon Gomm and Lindsey Buckhingham.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

For legal reasons, I can't disclose that information but there was Royalty there.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem at all. Let me know as things progress and we can tweak along the way. Weddings and events can often go over and it's nothing to worry about, I will do everything that I can to accommodate if there are any changes even on the day

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely, I use Spotify Premium to put together complimentary music around my live sets. If there is a particular theme, genre or any special songs that aren't in my live repertoire then let me know and I'll add them for you.

How much time do you need to set up?

I recommend around 30 minutes to be on the safe side. I will always aim to do a quick soundcheck and introduce myself prior with minimal disruption.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Sure, let me know what you like and I'll work it in for you. Through experience, I have a good working knowledge of what flows and ties together the best so I'm more than happy to help you pick the perfect set list.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I do! What's more is that with my state of the art, battery powered PA system which boasts 1000 watts of power, I can play anywhere humanly habitable with no electricity requirements. I'll just require a small space (around 2 x 1.5 metres) and I'll take care of the rest.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

With enough notice, if it's something that will work as a guitar arrangement then I will do my best to accommodate your request. If it's something that may not work as a fingerstyle arrangement then I am always happy to work the song into a playlist or play the track through the PA system for you. There is a £25 fee to cover the rehearsal and musical scores
