Bradley's Reviews

Most people were singing along and dancing, but weren't appreciating what he was actually doing. I was stood back watching everything and it was so good.

Really unique - will definitely be having you back!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients often have similar feedback. They usually enjoy how engaging and energetic the performances are. They are described as interesting to watch as well as listen to. I often describe it as hectic. From switching instruments mid song before the next beat hits, to standing on the bar getting guests to chant choruses along with me. It's all mega fun!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Too many to mention.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I'm the three-way love child of Ed Sheeran, Twenty One Pilots and George Ezra.

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

It's hard to say what classifies as high profile. Weddings and high profile events such as the Cheltenham Races, but a highlight was definitely playing a private party for some of Kelly Jones' (Stereophonics) family in their hometown.

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

That is totally fine and I will always do my best to make sure your needs are met. We can work out the schedule around your day, as long as I have an appropriate amount of notice I will do everything I can to facilitate.

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

Yes, absolutely. This is an extremely common. I will by default play a background playlist during any breaks in the live music. If you would like a full, high energy DJ service after the live performance to keep the party going with unlimited, on demand song requests, take a look at my DJ service add on.

How much time do you need to set up?

A minimum of 1 hour is requested for setup time prior to any service.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, i'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. It's easier for you to let me know what kind of artists you are looking for than for me to list every song I can play to choose from.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. The only thing i require is mains power and sufficient cover from weather if it is an outdoor performance. If you are not able to supply mains power, there is an add on which allows me to hire a battery PA system if required.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, with an appropriate amount of notice i'd be happy to. This is free of charge, but the amount of songs learned will be subject to my discretion. (We will have this conversation well in advance of course so you know what's happening).
