Joe's Reviews

5 out of 5

Joe was amazing! To start his communication was amazing and he was patient when the stresses of wedding planning meant I wasn't as responsive as should be. He was quick to reply and very accommodating. The day of the wedding he was fantastic and created the perfect vibe and atmosphere we were hoping and expecting making the cocktail hour very special and gave it the extra we were looking for. If you are contemplating booking someone for this time at your wedding. Stop and just book Joe now! You won't regret it! Thank you again Joe!

Joe is not only incredibly talented but also incredibly lovely. He was really accommodating to our requests, played beautifully and was just generally a real pleasure. Thank you so much, Joe, for helping to make our big day so special.

Joe performed before and during our ceremony at Kew Gardens. He arrived early and was ready with plenty of time to spare, and handled some last minute stressful changes with grace and professionalism. We really enjoyed the music Joe played, but we were particularly moved by his rendition of one of our favourite songs, which he had learned for us and played to finish the ceremony. Thank you Joe!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I think clients like my performances most for my unique repertoire and for hopefully creating a great atmosphere!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Roundhouse, The O2 Forum Kentish Town, Koko, Scala, Bush Hall, plenty of arenas around Europe and lots of lovely British churches!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

The Beatles, Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Lianne La Havas, Tom Misch, Nao, Joy Crookes

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

No problem. Just let me know when you have the new timings and with enough notice it most likely won't be a problem!

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

Absolutely. I'm more than happy to play music through my speakers between sets and a bit before/after at no extra cost. If you would like this service for longer than 20 minutes before or after my sets or would like to use the speaker for speeches, just let me know before booking and we can work out an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

Really I can get set up in 10-15 minutes but ideally I like to arrive an hour before I start just to be safe!

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

Definitely! For wedding ceremonies especially, I would always encourage you to pick some songs from my list that are special to you - I will happily make recommendations and talk you through options! Otherwise it is generally ideal to have some flexibility on the day to play what I think will work best but if you have more requests that's totally fine.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yep! All I will need is access to an electrical outlet and a chair :) Or just a chair if you book me to play unplugged!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes (with enough notice)! If you book me for your wedding ceremony then I can learn a new piece for the processional for free. I charge £35 per additional request to account for the time it takes to put new arrangements together. If for any reason it isn't possible for me to learn your request, I can always play it through my speaker during breaks!
