I'm afraid this is not offered in my performance package.

How much time do you need to set up?

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

Of course! The set lists provided is a guide but I am more that happy to add some material to your day!

I do. I will require power for the amplifier but also for more intimate performances (small outdoor ceremonies) an acoustic guitar or mandolin will be perfect.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you would like me to learn then please just message me or let me know when we have a chat to discuss the day. I will update you before the day with a sample of how the song will sound.
