Verified profile

A professional musician based in Bristol. I work as a session player, composer and songwriter. I also play at events, weddings etc.

I have been composing/performing/sessioning in a professional capacity for the last seven years. This year I have embarked on a 40 date tour playing lead guitar for the singer "Lulu", who's well known for her hit single "Shout" as well as maintaining a solo career as a singer/songwriter and events singer.

Customer questions

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

I'm happy to work with you if timings change.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually take around 30 minutes to set up.

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

Yes, that's no problem.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

This depends on the event. I have the equipment to perform in a small space, but if the room is large or I'm performing outside then it's best to hire equipment.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I'm happy to learn a few specific songs given enough notice.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

A few of my favourite venues that I've played at include Union Chapel (London), The Lowry (Salford), The Caves (Edinburgh), Shepherds Bush Empire (London).

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

I have performed at Glastonbury festival for the last 6 years.

Chaz was absolutely fantastic and his music is absolutely incredible. He created such a brilliant atmosphere at our wedding reception drinks - he’s a very very talented guitarist and singer and we had so many amazing comments from our guests on how good the music was. Highly recommended for any event!!

Everyone at our event praised Chaz’s playing and singing. He was simply brilliant! A really lovely chap who knew exactly how to work with us, what to play and when to suit our lunch birthday party. We would highly recommend, a huge thank you Chaz and also to Encore.

I have been lucky enough to play with Chaz over the last two years and he never fails to impress me with his virtuosic guitar skills and velvety vocals.
