​We were looking for someone who could provide that warm, "fireside" acoustic feel without being overpowering, and he hit the nail on the head. From the moment he started playing, the entire room’s energy shifted. It wasn't just "background music"—it was a performance that actually made people stop talking and just listen.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The free flowing, non stop medley I create of requests. Typically, I thrive from being given a direction (90's indie, 00's boyband, country classics) and then will throw out hit after hit, keeping the dancefloor busy

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

I'm typically flexible, and will work with you to make sure we can provide the best possible outcome.

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

Yes, no problems! I usually will play music between my sets, at a small additional cost of £25.

How much time do you need to set up?

Around 30 minutes.

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

I typically let you (the Client) decide the overall theme of the event. I'll then ask for several requests, and on the evening, ask the audience for requests also. It helps ensure a fun, inclusive atmosphere. Otherwise, you can just let me run with it

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, from amplification to lighting, if needed

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, one song per booking is free of charge. Afterwards, I charge £50 per song learnt.
