Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I think clients like the versatility I show when performing with just an acoustic guitar. I have a wide range of repertoire which means there will be a mixture of sing- a- longs where I encourage the audience to join in, and slower more relaxed material in my sets.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I have performed at many 5* hotels and restaurants such as The Ned, The Dorchester and The Londoner to name a few. I also perform on cruise ships regularly as a guitarist and vocalist, in which I perform in various venues around the ship.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
John Mayer, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Eva Cassidy are just a few of the many who have influenced me and my music.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Performing as part of "New Music Monday" at The Ned in London.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
This is no problem, as long as you give me notice beforehand!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, this is no problem.
How much time do you need to set up?
30 minutes for me to set up is usually fine, although I will normally be at the venue 45 minutes to an hour before I am due to perform to avoid any rushing. Arrival times can be discussed once the booking has been made, and if you have a preference of arrival time.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Yes of course, you can also request any specific songs you would like me to learn beforehand too.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I provide my own microphone, guitar and amp.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
There is a chance if you don't see a song you wish to have performed at your event on my song list that I already know it. If not I am happy to learn up to five new songs of your choice for no further fee.
