About Gareth

Gareth Freiheit is a pub rocker with a Springsteen sensibility and Nick Cave's dress sense who'll play your birthday, wedding or funeral.

Guitarist

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Gareth Freiheit is a musician from Dublin who cut his teeth in the indie rock scene in Leeds, and after developing his sound there he moved to London where he joined forces with his backing band The Good Deeds. Informed by the Yorkshire no-nonsense DIY aesthetic, he infuses elements of The Cribs with a Bruce Springsteen twist. Since settling in London he has played with artists such as Eric Bell of Thin Lizzy and sold out shows at The Victoria Dalston and The George Tavern in Shadwell. His songs have featured on Ireland’s national broadcaster 2fm and he has been given praise for his masterful guitar work and big choruses. His name is a reference to Freiheit Square in Munich, the city where he was born, and where his parents led its first St Patrick’s Day parade through in the 90s.

Gareth played at 'Siamsa', the monthly music, theatre and comedy variety night hosted by the Irish Creative Collective. He blew us all away with his voice and guitar skills and we hope to have him back soon.

Gareth played as part of a curated lineup for my bookings agency Bark Noise at Strongroom Bar In Shoreditch. Always a pleasure working with Gareth. He rocked the house and have had the pleasure of working with him since!

Customer questions

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

I normally keep the date of a gig clear so I'll try and accommodate your timings to the best of my abilities.

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

Sure thing. My mixer is bluetooth powered and I can play songs from a playlist for you.

How much time do you need to set up?

About 30-45 minutes.

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

I have a pretty extensive set and am always looking to expand it so if you have some requests then let me know as I may already have it in my repertoire - if not I will try incorporate your suggestions into it.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I am a one man show!
