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 spanish tapas events, pubs, restaurants and hotels. I'm only a message or phone call away - please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to help and provide a complimentary call to discuss further.

Lovely Emily is lovely, gentle performer who provided the perfect welcome with Spanish guitar tunes during a cocktail event. She was a delight to work with - great communication and super polite and friendly.

Emily was fantastic. She went above and beyond for our event. She was very friendly and responsive during the booking process and got in touch periodically to confirm the details of the day. She learnt a new song for us, which she played beautifully, and provided a great atmosphere for our event. Our guests mentioned many times to us how amazing the music was. She was very friendly with our venue staff and set up perfectly without us even noticing! We would highly recommend her :)

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.
