We booked Josh for our Coronation Big Lunch event in our communal gardens, attended by over 200 people and were very pleased that we did!. Josh is an outstanding musician who can turn his hand to a wide variety of genres. He has a gentle stage presence but still manages to keep his audience entertained and engaged with a repertoire of established and original music. He would be a strong addition to any event or club musical lineup

Customer questions

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

We always try our 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.

How much time do you need to set up?

30 mins

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

Sure!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I don't usually bring a PA system - this would need to be provided by you/the venue. I can arrange to bring a PA at extra cost.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our 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 £50 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
