About Adam Knight

One of the southeast's most exceptional acoustic singer-guitarists. Playing classic songs from right now to back then. A truly class act!
Singing guitarist

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I have played support sets for numerous well-known artists, notably Boyzone & Peter Andre (24,000 people), The Wonder Stuff, Dreadzone & 10cc (17,000 people), Ed Sheeran (8,000 people), Eliza Doolittle, Newton Faulkner, Mungo Jerry, The Hoosiers, Mike Dawes, Ben Howard, Geno Washington, Foy Vance, and many more…! I play a wide range of material in a solo-acoustic style, particularly pop, rock, soul, blues and country, from the 1950’s all the way through to the present day. 25+ years live performance experience. 1000’s of gigs performed all over the world. Professional sound and light equipment. Based in South-East UK (but will travel!).

We are so glad that we chose Adam to play at our wedding, his song choices were perfect for the wedding dinner, and he even learnt a special song just for us! I can’t recommend Adam enough, he is friendly and professional, and he really has a stunning voice. Thanks again Adam, you were just fab. x

What a fabulous singer and guitarist! My wife booked Adam for my surprise 50th birthday and I must say that everyone, including my saxophonist son, was blown away by his incredible talent. I suggested that he should go on one of these TV talent shows, but my wife said he was far too good for that! He played some great songs, including plenty that us 70s kids knew! Highly recommended.

Customer questions

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Shepherds Bush Empire, Ronnie Scott's, Numerous Arts Centres, Barbados Virgin International Music Festival, Many UK Festivals (including Glastonbury, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, Guilfest), and many, many bars, clubs and private venues.

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

I have played support sets for numerous well-known artists, notably Boyzone & Peter Andre (24,000 people), The Wonder Stuff, Dreadzone & 10cc (17,000 people), Ed Sheeran (8,000 people), Eliza Doolittle, Newton Faulkner, Mungo Jerry, The Hoosiers, Mike Dawes, Ben Howard, Geno Washington, Foy Vance, and many more…!

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

I will always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run-up to the event just let me know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a custom Spotify playlist via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, I can provide this for an additional £100 per hour.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure your guests have a great time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I am totally self-contained with a PA system (suitable for up to 200 guests) and a small lighting rig to make sure your guests can see me!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £25 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
