Martin John

Hello! My name is Martin John and I am an accomplished, versatile and professional full time musician & DJ. I have been performing at weddings, parties, private functions, pub & club gigs since the early 2000s. I have my own professional PA system and lighting rig. My equipment is PAT tested and I have Public Liability Insurance. My agency ratings are always 5* and my reviews speak for themselves. For live music, I have a repertoire of 160+ songs from the 1950s to present day - please see the full repertoire below. I can adapt the repertoire to suit your event easily and I'm more than happy to learn a couple of songs specifically for your occasion. I can provide music for any part of your occasion: singing guitarist to get everyone dancing and singing? DJ sets to keep people on the dancefloor? Ambient background music to enhance the event? Specific songs for your special day? You name it and I can provide it! Either on piano or from behind the decks or by being a singing guitarist or pianist. As a DJ I have played at all sorts of functions: weddings, parties, corporate events and pub & club gigs. I use a DDJ two-channel mixer with a full range of effects to enhance my mixes. My library currently stands at 12,000 songs from all genres. I am not precious about what I play - I am happy to tailor my playlist entirely to your occasion. If you'd like to leave the music entirely to me with a few suggestions - that is fine. Or if you'd like to provide the full playlist exactly as you want it - that is also fine. I am happy to MC as much or as little as you'd like - either singing and talking to encourage guests to the dancefloor or simply focusing on the music keeping the dancefloor as full as possible. Have a listen to my DJ mix in the media section. I have performed solo and in various bands for nearly 20 years all over the UK, having performed on the same bill as mainstream bands and artists at festivals and private events. My bands have won Battle Of The Bands competitions and I have been in various function bands that have played at weddings and parties. I have also produced music that has been used for adverts, computer games and animations. My set up includes a 2800W PA system and a multi effect lighting rig (strobes, pars, derbys and a laser). I also make use of various effects to enhance my live performance: a loop pedal, vocal harmoniser and a delay pedal for ambient sweeping guitar solos. Clients are often keen to book me for my versatility - they would like live music and a disco afterwards, or a mixture of live and disco throughout the event. It means they do not have to go through multiple suppliers or have to worry about one act packing away whilst the other sets up often in the same space. So I can be the one-stop shop for your event to make sure all your musical requirements are organised professionally and all in one package. So please do get in touch to discuss or make a booking - I do get booked up far in advance so the sooner the better.
