I have been a professional performer for around 5 years, but I have been studying the guitar for around 12 years and now hold a 1st Class Honours degree on the Acoustic Guitar from Leeds Conservatoire. In this time I have built up a large song repertoire of many different genres and music, all played on the solo acoustic guitar. I play a wide variety of music including Classical guitar pieces, Folk tunes, Jazz standard arrangements, and instrumental versions of your favourite Pop classics. I have a passion for arranging for the solo guitar and have a big repertoire of many musical style to suit any event. I am eager to create the perfect atmosphere for your special day, and my sets can range from etherial, delicate moments, to lively nostalgic foot stompers. I will discuss with each of my clients what their preferred music is and what vibe they want to create on their day.

Che Bradley - Acoustic Guitarist 's Reviews

5 out of 5

I booked Che to play a few songs for the proposal to my wife. He played a selection of romanic classical pieces that really created a special vibe that I'll remember forever! He was very considerate and asked me what kind of songs I was after, and he had a very large song collection. Me and my fiancé absolutely loved it!

I couldn't recommend this guitarist enough! Che's repertoire is one of the best I could fine on Indeed, playing everything from Classical pieces, Pop classics and lovely instrumentals that made our wedding meal very special. It was great to have such beautiful background music that didn't demand the attention of our guests, and allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the day. 10/10 would highly recommend!
