Singing guitarist

Clitheroe

Thanks so much for taking an interest in me and my music! I've been performing for many years now and absolutely love being a small part of special events all over the north of England. I'm currently based in Clitheroe and happy to travel. To give you more of an idea of who I am musically and what I can do, I much prefer the words of others rather than my own! Please have a read below. Testimonies: "He has a fabulous easy listen to voice and is very versatile with what he sings. He was the singer at my friends wedding, he played guitar and sang a range of songs in the church as people were starting to arrive, really lovely. I'd definitely recommend him." "I've seen Mike play at various venues and events across the North West and can say that he has excellent charisma, presence and brilliant audience interaction. He is always polite and professional and has a lovely voice, perfect for an afternoon or evening event." I also do my own original music under the artist name Mike Ozen. My Spotify account is linked to this account.

Superb communication, excellent delivery of a tailored acoustic set for our wedding. Mike set the mood perfectly. The rendition our our chosen ceremony song was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I hold myself to the highest musical standards as I've been a performer for over 15 years now! I also enjoy playing a range of genres rather than just one or two. But I'm also generally very easy going and try to remain as flexible as possible with thing such as a change in plans or timing. I just want my client to enjoy my performance and be happy!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Royal Hall, Harrogate. Various hotels & pubs around Yorkshire and Lancashire.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Jack Johnson, Stevie Wonder, Paolo Nutini, Red Hot Chili Peppers.

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

Masham village festival, performing to roughly 2000 people.

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

This is absolutely fine providing the total play time is as agreed and the timings don't shift by more than 2 hours.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I'm happy to offer this service for free, however you can also pay an add-on fee if you'd like this to continue later into the night(after my performance time). The charge will depend on the extra time required.

How much time do you need to set up?

15 minutes.

Can I pick the songs 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. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I do, I have everything needed to perform(even without electrical power if necessary).

Can you learn song requests before the event?

This is completely dependant on time available leading up to the event(if it's booked way in advance I'll have more chance of accommodating this compared to a last minute booking) but I'll certainly see what I can do!
