The Little Theatre, Colne
Club 85
The Ent Shed

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
January 2017 - in support of The Quireboys at their homecoming gig at Bedford Esquires. Guy Griffin and Keith Weir are the absolute salt of the Earth!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Usually this shouldn't be a problem, but I know timings change for all manners of circumstances. Just message me and let me know the situation an hour beforehand.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I can provide iPod music in between sets if it is required. I have an eclectic choice of playlists!
How much time do you need to set up?
Literally 15 minutes. My PA system is VERY low maintenance and I have mastered the art of the quick setup and soundcheck to an art form!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
By all means, talk it through with me (ideally before the performance) and we'll work it around what is best for you and your guests.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Everything from guitars to speaker stand and from microphone cables to extension leads, I bring the lot!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely. It takes me the maximum of one afternoon to learn two new songs. A request is a request!
