Ollie Canham

I’m a London based, conservatoire trained jazz guitarist performing across the UK and internationally. A graduate of Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, I specialise in jazz but work fluently across pop, soul, funk, rock and contemporary styles, making me equally at home at weddings, corporate events, festivals and concert venues. Over the past few years I’ve toured extensively, including month-long international runs across China, performing in major cities and renowned jazz clubs. In the UK I’ve played everywhere from large festivals and packed live music venues to intimate private celebrations and high-end luxury settings — including solo guitar performances at the Michelin-starred Palé Hall in Wales. Whether providing relaxed solo guitar for a drinks reception, leading a small jazz ensemble, or bringing high-energy rhythm guitar to a function band, I pride myself on musical versatility, professionalism and reading the room. My conservatoire training means a high level of musicianship and improvisation; my live experience means I understand timing, atmosphere and what makes an event feel special. I’m based in London and regularly travel for performances across the UK and abroad. I drive and am fully equipped for weddings, private events and festival work. If you’re looking for sophisticated background music, a standout jazz performance, or an adaptable guitarist who can move seamlessly between genres, I’d love to help bring your event to life.
