Kieran Gunter

Kieran Gunter is a solo guitarist who performs classical repertoire as well as his own bespoke arrangements of jazz, pop and world music. He is frequently requested to play at events such as wedding ceremonies/reception, corporate events and special occasions such as proposals, Valentine’s events and anniversary celebrations. In recent times he has performed for events at Harrods, The Savoy and Marylebone Town Hall amongst many others. Kieran is a self-contained act and so arrives seamlessly at any event with minimal setting-up time and minimal disruption to the rest of the event. Clients only have to provide an armless chair or stool, a space 2x2 meters square and for there to be a single plug within 50 meters if performing amplified. He can either perform through a large PA system (up to 250 guests), a smaller PA system (up to 50) or perform fully acoustically. Performances can be indoors or outdoors (weather permitting of course). Any quote from Kieran on Encore contains the full performance fee and travel cost but doesn’t include any potential song request fees. Kieran prides himself on clear communication with his clients and maintaining high levels of organisation. Set list, timings and emergency contact details are agreed and exchanged as far as possible out from the gig and consequently, performances from Kieran consistently run without any problems. Popular packages of Kieran booked by previous clients include wedding ceremony only (30 minutes), wedding ceremony and reception (30 + 90 minutes) and finally wedding ceremony, reception and breakfast (30 + 90 + 45 minutes). For corporate/private events, 1x60 minute, x2 45 minute and 3 x 45 minute are his most frequently booked. By booking Kieran, you will be getting high-quality guitar music that will softly resonate around your event space, adding a touch of class and sense of occasion. He can easily take song requests from clients, provided it can be realistically performed on the guitar – recent examples of learnt requests include Harvest Moon (Neil Diamond) and We’ve Only Just Begun (The Carpenters). Kieran began playing the guitar at a young age and consequently doesn’t really know what a life without playing guitar feels like! Over 20 year later after starting he’s still yet to find anything he enjoys doing more than that. Notable musicians he has performed with include Marc Almond (Soft Cell), Sophie Evans (Wicked) and Liane Carroll (BBC Jazz Awards Best Vocalist). By booking him, guests at your event will appreciate the music as it softly states familiar melodies to their ears. Sometimes it will relax them whilst other times it will get their toes tapping. Other times still it may just remind them of a good holiday they once went on and put a smile on their face!
