Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients often tell me that they like how I bring a fresh twist to classic songs, ensuring that each performance feels unique and engaging rather than just a carbon copy of the originals. They also appreciate my easygoing nature and the way I interact with the crowd.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Gosh, there are TOO many to mention! Some of the most commonly performed included The Plough & Harrow, Murton, Swansea, Harry's, Cowbridge, The Tyn, Baglan, The Measure Inn, Caldicot, The Piccadilly, Caerphilly, Mumbales, Swansea, Waterloo Stores, Swansea, Warehouse 4, Gloucester
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Paul Simon, Green Day, Buddy Holly, T Rex, Jack Johnson, John Martyn, Ray Lamontagne, Paolo Nutini, REM, Nirvana, Three Colours Red, The Crocketts, Don MacLean, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Hollies, Gerry Rafferty
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I supported The Move at the Globe, Cardiff, a legendary band known for their innovative and influential sound in the rock and pop scenes of the 1960s and '70s. You'll know Roy Wood as Wizzard singing the famous Christmas song (I wish it could be Christmas Everyday)
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No worries! Just get in touch at least three days before to let me know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, I can provide this.
How much time do you need to set up?
Minimum of half an hour.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course! Just check my set list and choose the ones you like. Easier if you tell me the songs you don't want. You can also request up to three songs I can learn beforehand (at least 2 weeks before).
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I provide a full PA system, including two speakers, microphone, mixer, guitar, and spotlight.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes! I can learn up to three requests, but I will need to have these at least two weeks before so I chance time to do the songs justice!
