Guitarist

Newark

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Having been a professional musician for over 7 years with vast gig experience, I am able to read a crowd and make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves and the music. I studied at the Royal Holloway university of London and gained a BMus Honours in music. I also receiving an award for No.1 solo performance of my cohort and received extra guitar tuition at the Royal College of Music. I am confident that I can make your event/wedding a special one. With my looping pedal and virtuosic guitar technique I can create an electric atmosphere that matches that of a full band. I pride myself on being easy to work with and I'm more than happy to learn any song that you would like to hear. Across my career I have played aboard cruises, weddings, corporate events, Birthdays Edinburgh Fringe Fest, and countless live music nights at venues across the UK. With a professional attitude and equipment, you can be at ease knowing that the music will be taken care of and you can relax and enjoy your event!
