Guitarist

Public liability insurance of £15 million

I’ve Been playing professionally for over 10 years, currently signed to legendary record label Decca Records. I started busking the streets of Glasgow when I was 14 and everything snowballed from then till now! I have toured Europe with Rufus Wainwright and played festivals all over the world. I play piano, guitar and sing! I am also an actor I have appeared in a few feature films and as romantic lead in Disney show ‘Find Me In Paris’. I can play and sing all kinds of styles, I’ve always been lucky that I can imitate a lot of singers quite perfectly. I absolutely love playing shows and entertaining people! It’s my favourite thing to do. I am happy to learn any songs you would like also, and I can take requests on the day as I can play stuff on the spot - I learned to do this busking! Would love to play your event and make it a night everyone will remember always! I can play all types of music and genres, and very experienced in a wide variety of events - from playing my own headline tours throughout Europe, to intimate proposals! I look forward to chatting, All the best, Christy x

Christy is amazing! He proved himself to be a super reliable musician with his punctuality and clear, quick communication. The party was a great success, and Christy played a big role in making it an unforgettable evening. His skills were so impressive that people kept asking for an encore, and Christy was more than happy to do so. His music set was the perfect atmosphere for the party, and everyone was having a great time. With Christy, you'll get not only a great musician, but also a professional and friendly individual who will make your experience truly memorable!

Christy played at our wedding in 2019, he absolutely made our day so very special with his performance, all made even better because he learned all our requests and played me down the aisle so beautifully. A moment we will never forget! Thank you Christy.
