Jon was professional from the moment of 1st contact. He communicated with us to ensure the Setlist, dress requirement, timings, venue were all correct. Quick, easy contact with prompt response, no stress, no complications. Jon performed brilliantly on the night. He amazed us all our with his guitar skills, voice and ability to get the guests up and dancing. He has great people skills, took time to talk to us and even performed a special request after his performance time was up and he was supposed to be packing away. Jon went the extra mile, amazing talent so glad he could share that at our daughters 18th birthday party. Thank you, would highly recommend.

As an events planner working with Jon means my client is in safe hands. Not only is he extremely talented but he is punctual and professional; his repertoire is extensive and he can read the room extremely well which means guests enjoy his set from the first strum of the guitar.

Jon was absolutely brilliant at my 60th birthday garden party. Everyone loved his music and kept asking where I’d found him! He’s such a talented fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter, his playing (and that amazing percussive style) really wowed everyone. Jon was also a genuinely lovely person to deal with from start to finish, so easy-going and professional. He created such a great atmosphere and really helped make the evening special. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

They love my unique fingerstyle guitar-singing take on classic songs. I then add in some looping, beatboxing and vocal harmony to create a multi-dimensional sound that can be played in any location.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Oaks Farm, Nonsuch Mansion, Gate Street Barn, Farnham Castle, The Oak Barn, Nutfield Priory, Woldingham Golf Club, Surrey Downs Golf Club, Reigate Hill, Smallfield Place, The Cricketers, Zinnia Gardens, Brooklands Museum, Hartsfield Manor, Rivervale Barn many more. I've also played weddings in France, Croatia, Cyprus, Mauritius and Scotland.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Jon Gomm, Newton Faulkner & Sting

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

Isle of Wight Festival

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 us 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. You can plug your phone or tablet (which must have a headphone input) into my acoustic amp.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 before the performance time.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I'mm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I always bring my own gear :)

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included on my song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of Β£50 for this service to take into arranging and practising etc.
