Singing guitarist

York

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Music has been a life-long commitment for me. I have never not been in a band or had a break from performing. Around 2009/10, I decided to go into the wedding and events industries and have never looked back. With my own band 'Undercovered' - and as a soloist - I have gone on to win several awards and performed to tens of thousands of people week in, week out, from intimate parties, large businesses and the odd celebrity wedding! My philosophy is always to put the audience first and never give less than 100%. People deserve good entertainment at the end of a working week!

Clark performed at our Ruby Wedding Anniversary Sunday lunch party. He played just the right songs to suit our tastes (age range 26 to 93!) and even had everyone dancing around our lounge!! He created a great atmosphere and made it a memorable occasion. I would certainly recommend him!!

Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Clark, great communication, professional and a great performance. The next time I require a singer I won't hesitate to contact him to book. Great price and really did deliver. Lots of positive feedback from guests at my daughter's wedding. Thank you once again Clark

All communication in the run up to the wedding was professional, helpful and friendly. On the day the band went beyond our expectations and our dance floor was full from their first song onwards. The energy was high and their sound was perfect. They even learnt a particular song that we love! We couldn’t recommend this band highly enough.

Clark is such a great person, lovely to deal with and you can feel confident that if you book him or his band your night will be amazing.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My energy and smiling. Always putting in 100% and making every performance feel special and personal to the client.

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

In my former originals band 'Hungry Ghosts' I'd say either Leeds & Reading festivals or supporting the likes of Shed Seven or Futureheads. As a cover artist with my band 'Undercovered', either a celebrity wedding for a TV star or, in terms of crowd size, our annual Christmas residency in Sheffield which sees us perform to 1000 people per night. Amazing!

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

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

For evening options a Spotify 'DJ' option can be included for additional cost, tailored to each event. This is also ideal for daytime receptions and wedding breakfasts

How much time do you need to set up?

If providing a "travelling acoustic" option then it is simply a quick tune-up and play! If amplification is needed then up to 1 hour setup time. For a full band this would require up to 90mins.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Absolutely!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc and would ask for 6-8 weeks notice.
