I’m a Liverpool-based singer and acoustic guitarist who has been performing professionally for a number of years at weddings, private events, corporate functions, bars, restaurants and live music venues across the UK. Music has always been a huge part of my life, and I’m lucky enough to spend my time doing something I genuinely love. My performances are all about creating a great atmosphere and making sure people enjoy themselves. I play a mixture of timeless classics, well-known singalong songs and modern favourites, allowing me to adapt my set to suit each event and audience. I’m naturally a friendly and chatty person, and I believe being a great event musician is about more than simply playing the songs. I enjoy interacting with guests, getting to know people and helping to create an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and involved. Whether I’m performing, chatting with guests between sets or simply helping the evening run smoothly, I always aim to bring a warm, approachable personality to every event. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to perform at some incredible venues and events. One of the highlights has been holding a residency at Everton Football Club, performing regularly at both Goodison Park and Hill Dickinson for supporters, guests and special events. I’ve also had the privilege of performing at the Everton End of Season Awards in front of players, staff and invited guests. In 2025, I was proud to perform at the Grand National at Aintree Racecourse, one of the biggest sporting events in the country. It was an incredible experience and one I’ll always be grateful for. As a Liverpool musician, performing at The Cavern Club has also been particularly special to me. I’ve performed there numerous times over the years, and being able to play in a venue with such an important place in Liverpool’s musical history is something I never take for granted. Alongside my live performances, I also offer an optional DJ service, allowing me to provide music between my live sets and continue DJ-ing after my performance if required. This gives clients the option of having one person take care of the entertainment throughout the evening, creating a seamless transition from live music to background music and eventually onto the party. I regularly perform at weddings, corporate events, private parties and venues throughout the UK, and every event is different. Whether I’m providing relaxed background music during a drinks reception, entertaining guests throughout an evening or playing to a packed room singing along, I always aim to give people a performance they’ll genuinely enjoy and remember. I’m incredibly grateful for all the opportunities music has given me so far and for everyone who continues to support what I do. I look forward to many more performances, meeting new people and creating plenty more memorable moments along the way.
