Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No problem at all, just get back in touch with your new times.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes.
How much time do you need to set up?
30 mins.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, no problem.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I am completely self contained - all I require is access to a mains power supply.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes no problem. I would charge an extra £20 per new song.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My song choices are always hugely complemented by clients. I like to play well known tunes that might not always be heard regularly by cover artists - so often people are pleasantly surprised by what they hear. I also get praised very often for my voice as well.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I have been playing a long time, so there would be too many to list! but a few stand out venues are The Ritz, The academy & The Deaf Institute in Manchester. I have also played some pretty unusual places too in the past such as The Lowry Cinema, and Manchester Airport!
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
For solo acoustic performances I would say Neil Young, Paul Weller, John Martyn & Van Morrison...
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I played the main stage whilst the sun was setting at Benicassim festival in Spain.
