Kev was fantastic - from the communication beforehand - even arranging guitar for a sing-along at the wedding ceremony. On the day he was punctual and his playing was wonderful. We particularly liked his Gypsy Jazz playing on the balcony as we all enjoyed the reception overlooking the Thames. Thank you Kev!

I would 100% recommend Kev! He performed at our wedding this weekend and he was excellent! From learning our favourite song for the ceremony to putting together a perfect choice of songs for the cocktail reception, he really made our wedding so special! He was so lovely and had great communication in the lead up. Our guests loved it and we had many compliments. Would happily book him again :)

Customer questions

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

I 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 me know.

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

If you'd like a DJ service via our amp after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.”

How much time do you need to set up?

I typically need 30 min max for set up as it's just me, usually much less.

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 have an amazing time. I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works best for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring everything required for the event equipment and instrument-wise.The only thing I need is a power socket, although I have a way around that as well as I have played in the open without power for my clients before.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I do requests all the time as long as I know in the advance.There's no extra charge for that as it is part of the package I offer.No requests on the day though due to the nature of my setup.
