I trained as a musician and singer back home in Northern Ireland and was working as an actor and musician in London. I’m really passionate about music and always have been since I was small, some of my major influences are Fleetwood Mac, The Staves and Nick Mulvey. I’ve done lots of different types of gigs including functions, theatre and backing singing. I hope I can help you find what you’re looking for :)

Customer questions

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

I’m very flexible with times as long as I’m told in advance so that I am prepared enough to make any necessary arrangements.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I can provide a Spotify playlist on my phone and plug it into my small cube amp. This may be more suitable for smaller gigs as opposed to big weddings or parties.

How much time do you need to set up?

1-1.5 hours should be enough time for me to set up and have a look at the space I’ll be performing in.

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

Of course. Every gig is different and I am absolutely open to catering for your specific needs and am very flexible to adapting to whatever style you wish. I’m also happy to learn new material if it’s not on my set list already.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I have my own instrument and a small PA system, for anything bigger I’m happy to use whatever other equipment is provided by the venue.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely, in fact this is something that I really enjoy. I love being introduced to new pieces and am a very quick learner so just tell me what you’d like to hear and I’ll give it a go.
