Cassius West delivers lively, guitar-driven performances that can energise any crowd or provide a relaxed backdrop for an evening. His sets flow seamlessly between indie, pop, and rock favourites, with smooth transitions and moments designed to draw the audience in. Known for his natural connection with listeners, Cassius adapts his performance to suit the mood, creating a set that feels effortless and engaging.

We had the utmost pleasure of securing Cassius West to play at The Admiralty as part of our weekly live music offer. He read the room perfectly ensuring volume & content was spot on. Guests had a genuinely fabulous time including a group who had come in for a birthday & messaged us with sheer delight the next day raving about the music. We will be rebooking Cassius for future gigs & definitely recommend this professional gifted musician!

Booked Cassius for a busy Saturday night gig in Rochester. He was amazing, engaged with the audience and played a mix of popular sing along and some quieter stuff was very nice. Will definitely be having him back :) x
