About David

A singing guitarist with years of experience and charm to match.
Guitarist
Caerphilly
Public liability insurance of £5 million

Hi I'm David. I'm a singer-guitarist based in South Wales. Whether you want background music for your drinks reception or upbeat bangers to get on the dance floor, I have the repertoire and experience to ensure your guests have the time of their lives! Originally from Leicestershire, I first discovered my love of performing in school when I was asked to leave a french lesson for jumping up onto the table and singing Blue Suede Shoes. I was then lucky enough to perform as part of school musicals which led to me gaining a place to study at drama school in London. Since graduating all those years ago I have been fortunate enough to perform on the West End, in off-west end theatres as well as in multiple regional theatres, venues and concert halls across the country – not forgetting all the wedding venues, bars, clubs and pubs too. I truly love performing and relish any opportunity to share that with the public, if you have any questions about my services please don’t hesitate to contact me. Should you be interested, I also perform as part of an acoustic duo (Acoustic Notation - also available on Encore) If you'd like to consider adding this option, I'm more than happy to discuss it with you.

Customer questions

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

I will 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 us know.

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

Absolutely. During set up and get out I will play music through the speakers.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 hours to 45 minutes before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance!”

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're 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?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically
