Nick Hayward-Young

I am constantly adding new songs to my repertoire and am very happy to learn new songs for a specific event. I use a loop pedal to make the guitar playing a bit more interesting and I frequently play chilled instrumental pieces as a change from singing. Everything I play is 'live' and I don't use karaoke type backing tracks. Here are some of the songs that people seem to like.
