Joe's Song list
I'm more than happy to learn new songs
free of charge for you, and I am very
happy to take requests :)
I can learn new songs
'on the fly' if requested and I've
heard them enough before.
If you want to hear me singing one of these songs
live before you book me, message me and I'll send you
a phone recording of me playing it!

Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Before a performance, clients love the attention to detail that I give them - I'm always happy to go the extra mile and ensure that everything is completely ready to go before the day.
During my performances, clients love my enthusiasm, sense of humour and my talents as a singer and guitarist. It's a pleasure to do my job and I convey this on stage.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'll always do my best to be flexible - so just let me know if any timings change!
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely - let me know if you'd like me to provide this, as I can play music through my speakers before and in the break between my sets for free.
How much time do you need to set up?
Setting up is a very quick process - all I need is a room that I can make a bit of noise in (so that I can test the equipment) and that's about it! The process takes about half an hour, but leaving 45 minutes is ideal just in case.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely! You can pick whichever songs that you'd like. I am more than happy to give advice too - I've been doing this for years now which means that I often know what crowds want!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring everything. I also own a battery powered amp which means that I don't need power to play!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I'm more than happy to learn songs to play for an event - the most important thing is being given notice so that I have the time to learn them. I don't charge extra for this - as long as I'm not taking on too much, I'm more than happy to put in the time to learn songs to make your event the best it can be!
