About Dan

From Golden Oldies to Contemporary Classics!
Guitarist
Rugeley
Public liability insurance of £1.5 million

With over 30 years of experience on guitar, I’ve been performing live acoustic sets since 2008 in pubs, bars, restaurants, and venues across the UK, as well as internationally in Vietnam, Crete, and Spain. My setlist is a journey through the decades, covering timeless classics from the 1960s, 70s and 80s rock and pop, 90s Britpop and indie favourites, 2000s hits, right through to modern chart music. I aim to create a varied and engaging performance that connects with audiences of all ages and musical tastes. Throughout the festive season, I also include a strong selection of Christmas songs, adding a warm and seasonal touch to events and celebrations. I regularly update my repertoire to keep performances fresh and relevant, and I’m always happy to take requests where possible to help tailor each gig and make every performance unique. My experience allows me to adapt easily to different environments and audiences. I can provide upbeat, energetic sets for lively sports bars and pubs, as well as more relaxed, background-style performances for restaurants, private functions, and care homes where a softer, more intimate atmosphere is required. Whether it’s a high-energy crowd or a more laid-back setting, my focus is always on delivering a professional, reliable, and enjoyable live music experience that suits the occasion. I take pride in being adaptable, easy to work with, and committed to providing music that enhances any event.
