It is with absolute delight that I would recommend Justin to play his beautiful music at any occasion . Our beautiful wedding held at Coton House Farm Lichfield recently , was an occasion made even more special by classical pieces played by him . He entertained our guests on their arrival through to the ceremony and played during our register signing and walking down the aisle. His gorgeous tones blended perfectly while playing during our drinks reception at just the right level . His versatility was further shown when he came back in the evening and wowed us all playing some incredible lead guitar at the end of our first dance . Our guests were blown away . Thankyou Justin for making our wedding so very special , we highly recommend .

We were lucky enough to have Justin play at our wedding last year. Justin went above and beyond in making our day perfect and tailor made just for us from learning songs he knew we loved to playing crowd pleaser songs that everyone knew to keep the energy up during cocktail hour/s. We will absolutely be reaching out to Justin again in the future for other engagements we are going to plan or host. 10/10 recommend having Justin perform at any occasion you are hosting, especially if it’s a wedding 🥰🍾🥂 🎸

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

They enjoy my playing and helps to create a lovely, warm atmosphere for a ceremony or drinks reception.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at many great venues in UK and Europe. These include Grand Theatre Wolverhampton, Mick Jagger centre, ICC Birmingham, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Z7 Prattein Switzerland, De Boerderij Netherlands.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love Julian Bream and John Willams and David Russell as classical guitarists but also love to play Rock, Blues, Jazz and Funk guitar too!

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

Probably Z7 in Switzerland in a Genesis tribute band and a function at the ICC in Birmingham in front of approx 4000 people.

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

I will 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 me know.

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

I can do if needed.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually arrive in plenty of time before the performance to allow a smooth set up. I do not have lots of equipment so 30-45mins is usually plenty of time to do this.

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests are entertained and have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and perform any specified pieces for walking down the aisle, signing of the register etc

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own guitar, have amplification if a little more volume is needed. Equipment is PAT tested.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a piece isn't included in the report pore list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn then I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
