Singing guitarist

Rotherham

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Originally from Rotherham/Barnsley, I am an acoustic loop artist performing covers across the country. Genres such as 80's, 00's dance/funk to Indie/Rock and modern pop. Bringing uplifting tunes with a unique style of looping accompanied with a range of different vocal and guitar pedals for slick harmonies and other sounding instruments like bass and keys. I regularly play in the Greater Manchester area at venues hosted by Seven Brothers including 11 Central (Media City), Box On The Docks (Media City) and Middlewood Locks (Seven Brothers). I have the equipment and flexibility to cater towards any event having experience performing as a Singagram, playing in care homes to outdoor festivals. I also have previous experience in the tribute/cover band scene as a frontman for MacBusted playing mainly at Butlins and the lead guitarist and backing vocalist for The Wolcott Band. I am a passionate songwriter who's aim is to use my social pages as a platform to showcase my work and network with fellow musicians.

Customer questions

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

No problem at all! I'm usually flexible to cater towards your needs so would only ask you let me know as soon as you can.

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

I have an auxiliary input on my speaker so I'm able to play songs before/after and in between my sets!

How much time do you need to set up?

I normally give myself 45 minutes to an hour just to make sure I don't run into any problems, but I do have a very simple set up and on average takes only 20/30 minutes!
