Singing guitarist

Essex

With over a decade of dedicated guitar study, I’ve developed a distinctive style that allows me to create original arrangements of well-loved songs. My performances blend technical skill with personal expression, offering a fresh take on familiar favourites. As a vocalist and guitarist, I’ve explored a wide range of contemporary genres, including Blues, Rock, Funk, Country, Folk, and Jazz. This versatility enables me to adapt to a variety of musical settings and audiences. Career highlights include opening for James at the Castle Park Summer Series Festival and performing at high-profile political events. These experiences have deepened my passion for live performance and broadened my musical reach. Music is at the heart of everything I do, and I look forward to sharing that passion with you. Thank you.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I consistently receive positive feedback from clients who appreciate the authenticity I bring to the covers I perform. While I play well-known songs that audiences love, I incorporate my unique musical style and personality into each arrangement.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at venues such as Belgrave In Leeds, The Princes Theatre Clacton and The St Osyth Priory. However, I have also performed at local venues like Martello Lounge Clacton, Three Wise Monkeys Colchester and Coda Colchester.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My musical influences span a range of genres, but the artists whose styles resonate most strongly in my performances include James Taylor, John Mayer, Tom Petty, and Fleetwood Mac.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

My most high-profile performance to date was supporting James at the Castle Park Summer Series Festival in Colchester, alongside Evy Frearson. The festival lineup also featured notable acts such as Happy Mondays, Lightning Seeds, and The Weave.

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

I always want to ensure that I am flexible so that your event can run as smoothly as possible. If timings happen to change leading up to the event just let me know.

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

For sure! I can provide a free playlist service before and inbetween sets. If you would like this continued service via my PA after the final set this will be charged. The specific charge of this is something that can be arranged prior to the event.

How much time do you need to set up?

I aim to arrive to the event at the earliest an hour and a half before my first set. Once the PA is set up I can start to bring the tunes to get guests prepared for the live music.

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

My setlist has been closely crafted to suit the event that I am playing for. I have picked these based on years of experience and how the crowd reacts to these tunes. However, you do get a choice of 1-2 songs for your event when you book me.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! All necessary equipment is provided by myself.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Most definitely! I provide 1-2 songs of your own choice when you book me.
