Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Usually my clients love my setlist, my flexibility, my positive attitude and the interaction I have with people.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Elephants head - Camden Town
Camden Lock - Camden Town
The kings head - Greenwich
The Bedford tavern - Finsbury park

The Water rats - King's cross
Roadtrip and workshop - Old street
Steam passage tavern - Angel
The hope and anchor - Islington

And many more...
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Lots: I would say mainly Queen, Pearl Jam or Iron Maiden. But I have my own style.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Hard to choose. In Italy I used to perform in festivals and squares with hundreds of people. In London, maybe the most prestigious place was The water rats in King's cross as Bob Dylan, Oasis and Skunk Anansie performed there as well, in the past.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No problem. I'm very flexible, we can work it out!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Sure! I can do this for free between sets. If you want this service via my PA I can provide it for an additional £50 per hour.”
How much time do you need to set up?
I'm ready in about 20 minutes.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Sure! Also, if you have requests I can try and work it out.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes! I have my own PA and I can play with both acoustic or electric guitar.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If a song isn't included in my song list there is a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I'll try and work it out. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
