About Ben

Always ready to rock!!
Guitarist
London
Public liability insurance of £5 million

Ben is the perfect wedding and party singing guitarist for those with a passion for rock who are looking for performer with personality. Ben has been bringing rock, pop, and soul favourites to weddings and events across the country and internationally since 2016. After being spotted at a wedding in Scotland, Ben was booked to be flown out to France with clients describing him as, “excellent, and definitely one of the highlights of the day!!” Ben performs vocals with either an acoustic or electric guitar and can add backing tracks if required. The acoustic set works for smaller spaces, whereas the electric set is perfect for larger rooms, and those who are really wanting to maximise the impact of their event! Ben makes sure his clients are fully satisfied by following all instructions carefully, while also making sure they having as much fun as possible, and takes his audience and clients with him on his journey. With powerful vocals and his guitar, Ben's performance can ensure a full dancefloor and his audience can really embrace every rocky moment throughout. Ben is a full-time musician. He was given a guitar for his sixth birthday and became enamoured with it, and really hasn’t stopped practicing with it ever since. He’s now an accomplished session guitarist, bassist, and vocalist, and creates music for TV, film, and podcasts. Ben studied his undergraduate degree in Popular Music Performance at the prestigious British Institute for Modern Music in London and has also completed a master’s in Music and Sonic Media at the University of Sussex. Ben brings his professionalism and passion for music to every gig, and on top of that, Ben's relaxed and can-do attitude will put you and your guests at ease from the very first interaction. Ben has a vast repertoire specialising in lots of different styles of rock, but is also well-versed in pop, retro pop, and soul because as much as rock is where his heart lies, he knows all too well that a bit of Stevie Wonder or some Bruno Mars really helps to create a balanced set. Ben welcomes you to tailor the setlist for your big day. For a standard 2x60 mins or 3x40mins performance you can select up to 32 songs from his 100+ song repertoire, and he will endeavour to accommodate all of your requests, given a month’s notice. For short notice bookings, you are still very welcome to send over your suggestions, and as always, Ben will do his utmost to accommodate as many requests as possible. Ben is also very happy to learn an ‘off the menu’ song request for you, for example, a first dance or your favourite song. Ben attends each event fully briefed and with a PA and lighting system so that he is fully self-contained, which makes booking the entertainment as simple as clicking the 'Book' button!

(Ben performing as part of the band High Voltage) Wow wow wow. All I can say is thank you to you and the band. It was absolutely incredible! They really made the night and everyone is buzzing about them and the performance. I hope the band enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Thank you to all of you. – Buckinghamshire, Wedding, May 2019

(Ben performing as part of the band High Voltage) Having just returned from our honeymoon we just wanted to reach out and thank you for everything you did to help make our wedding so special. High Voltage really were spectacular and everybody is raving about you guys. The music was brilliant, you got everybody dancing and we can’t thank you enough for helping our big day rock. From preparing a new song for our first dance, getting the father of the groom up to sing, right through to the last dance, you all gave so much energy and we will never forget it. Rhona, from beginning to end you were great to work with, helpful and quick to respond. Thank you for everything you did in the lead-up. – Gloucestershire, Wedding, September, 2018

Customer questions

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

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

Yes! I've got nearly 100 songs you can pick from.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, all PA equipment is included in your quote.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it, so please don't hesitate to ask! If there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I am more than happy to do this for you, free of charge. For every additional 'off-the-menu' song there is a fee of £50 to take into account rehearsal times etc.
