Henry's focus is working with his clients to offer the most personal experience he can. Whatever your event - Henry wants it to be unique to you. Henry will collaborate with you in the run-up to your event to better understand how you want his music to fit in to your plans, and what you want to hear. Henry also understands how stressful organising a big event like a wedding can be (having done it himself recently!). Henry is well-organised, and will leave you feeling that your music is 'sorted' well ahead of schedule. Henry has performed at weddings and events around the UK for the last 13 years, both in bands and and a solo act. Now, Henry focuses his attention to working solo as he feels this leaves him the most flexibility to really craft a personal experience on the day. At the age of eighteen, Henry received an Exhibition Award from Trinity Guildhall in recognition of an exceptional performance in his Grade Eight Classical Guitar exam. He then studied music to Master's level at Leeds Conservatoire, where he achieved the 'Director's Prize' in recognition of his achievements. He is also a trained music therapist.

I was in Leeds city centre when I heard Henry singing and liked what I heard so much that I approached him to ask if he would consider singing at our wedding. Luckily he said yes and on the big day we were so happy I had taken the chance and asked him. Henry was lovely and professional and we all loved the music choices too. It fitted in with our day brilliantly. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Henry perform at our wedding, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment he began playing, the entire atmosphere shifted—it felt warm, intimate, and completely unforgettable. Henry’s talent is incredible. His playing was graceful, full of emotion, and beautifully matched the tone of both our ceremony and drinks reception. His presence added a layer of elegance and romance that elevated the entire day. If you’re thinking about live acoustic guitar for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book Henry. He truly helped make our day perfect.
