About Emily

A friendly and professional guitarist with a repertoire of traditional classical and spanish pieces, film soundtracks and popular tunes
Classical Guitarist
Chichester
Public liability insurance of £10 million

I first fell in love with the guitar at age 10, when I began learning and performing in concerts and competitions at the West Sussex Guitar Club, one of the largest Classical Guitar appreciation societies in the UK. Furthering my musical education, I pursued studies at Chichester College and BIMM, where I was honored with the Batchmeres Dodd Award for Creative and Performing Arts. Through this experience, I found my passion for learning music and performing, and have since helped create beautiful atmospheres at events. Now, my repertoire spans three hours of music, with a range of traditional pieces, film soundtracks, and popular tunes to enhance any event. I love learning new pieces, so if there is something not on my guide set list that you love, then please let me know and I can learn it for you! Available for weddings and events, as well as performances at venues such as pubs, restaurants, hotels and care homes. I'm only a message or phone call away - please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions at all. I'd be more than happy to help and provide a complimentary call to discuss further.

Emily was truly wonderful! She arrived 30 minutes early to set up, and knew what we wanted without needing much guidance and matched the music to the vibe throughout the event. All of our guests also commented how lovely her music was.

Emily’s playing was quite delightful and suited our party perfectly, adding much to the atmosphere. She was also very professional, efficient and prompt. I very much hope we might have an opportunity to ask her again.

Lovely lady, played beautifully and took on board everything that was asked of her. Everyone of the 20 guests expressed what a very accomplished musician, if not directly to Emily certainly to me. We would have no hesitation in booking her again or recommending Emily to anyone.

Customer questions

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 the timings change slightly, please just let me know.

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

Absolutely. I have a battery-powered speaker that can be connected via Bluetooth to whoever wishes to choose the music.

How much time do you need to set up?

Half an hour

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

My set list is crafted from my performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. If you would like a specific song that I do not yet know, then I can learn this for an additional £50.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely. I bring my guitar, lead, battery-powered speaker and speaker stand.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn we are happy to do this for you at an extra £50.
