Question 1

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Accepted Answer

My performances are considered ‘lightweight’ - this means that they do not require a huge set up or create obnoxious noise. With just a guitar and vocals, I can fit in almost any venue and get crowds dancing and singing along with contemporary pop music and all-time favourites, as well as original music to keep every set fresh and exciting.

Question 2

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Accepted Answer

I have performed across Birmingham and the Black Country, most notably at names such as The Botanist, Birmingham; The Spotted Dog, Birmingham; The Boldmere Tap, Sutton Coldfield; The Rhodehouse, Sutton Coldfield and The Wheatsheaf, Walsall.

Question 3

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Accepted Answer

I am most influenced by the sounds and styles amongst the likes of Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, George Ezra, Lewis Capaldi, Elvis Presley and more.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

The Botanist, Birmingham: ~300 people

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

I 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 as soon as possible.

Question 6

How much time do you need to set up?

Accepted Answer

As my set and equipment is lightweight, I’ll need a minimum of just fifteen minutes to set up and sound check before beginning. This may fluctuate depending on the venue and specific needs, such as if I am using my own amplifier or a venue’s built-in PA system.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I’m definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event. There is also an add-on option for you to pick up to three songs of your choice for me to play at the event.

Question 8

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument, as well as microphone, microphone stand, loop pedal and all necessary cables. If there is not a PA system pre-installed, my 60W amp is capable of providing sound to large rooms, halls and even outdoor venues.

Question 9

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Accepted Answer

If a song isn't included in my set list, there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn and play, I am happy to do this for you. There is an add-on fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
