Verified profile

I am a professional guitarist, songwriter and producer based in Bristol. I provide Electric/Acoustic guitar and have toured with both Lulu and Judie Tzuke to name a few. As a singer/songwriter my music has received over 350,000 streams on Spotify and I am constantly writing/recording as a solo artist/collaborator. I work regularly with Extreme Music who are a subsidiary of Sony ATV , writing songs to a brief on a deadline. I love this work as it helps me expand my knowledge as a musician and hone my songwriting craft. As well as this I am embedded in the local music scene of Bristol where I front a Blues Trio and also perform my own original music as a solo act. The current Covid 19 epidemic has led me to collaborate with artists remotely and I have been providing high quality guitars/vocals from the studio on my houseboat. When I'm not making music I like to restore old vehicles and ride motorcycles across far flung countries.

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.

We had booked Chaz for a light, relaxing vibe during our canapés and drinks outside for our wedding. We then booked Chaz for the evening reception accompanied by another singer to provide a more upbeat vibe. Given the restrictions we were not allowed to dance etc. But Chaz created a wonderful atmosphere both in the afternoon and evening which was exactly what we wanted. We had so many compliments on him and I had many guests comment on how fab they both were. Thank you so much for creating the perfect atmosphere. We would 100% book you again!

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.
