Ollie is brilliant. We had been to a couple of events that he had performed at before and loved him so asked him to sing at the drinks reception of our wedding. He was absolutely brilliant, all the guests have commented on how amazing he was. He stayed to sing us into the wedding breakfast and it was one of my favourite parts of the day. He worked with the venue on timings and set up, once we’d booked him we barely had to do a thing in organising. Would highly recommend

Hey Ollie this is Bec, just wanted to say the biggest thank you to you for coming over for the wedding and the most beautiful performances throughout the wedding. It was so perfect and exactly what we wanted in those moments of the wedding, and everyone kept saying the whole weekend how amazing you were. Everyone also just loves the story of how we met you in the pub! But thank you again for being so lovely, so professional and just outstanding. Seeing you beforehand you were such a lovely calming presence for me as well so thank you for the big hug in that moment! Also so excited for you about being picked up by BBC introducing, and so happy that you had the moment as you landed in Italy! We are so lucky to have had someone with your talents at our wedding. Good luck with everything and for sure we will be showing up at one of your pub gigs again!! (Or bigger arena soon…?!?!!) Much love xxxxx

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I believe I am very personable and engaging with the audience. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable and I have a pretty faultless record of getting even the most reluctant up dancing and singing by the end of the night. I want every gig to feel personal and unique to the client.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed up and down the UK and in Europe. I've played at dozens of wedding venues; some of the country's most prestigious hotels and even festivals such as BBC's CarFest. Ive headlined venues such as The Garage, The Borderline and The Railway as well.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I grew up listening to the likes of Damien Rice, Jack Johnson, and David Grey and I definitely get my soft folk-pop routes from them. When I got older, I was heavily inspired by Ed Sheeran, Ben Howard and James Bay, with the likes of Dermot Kennedy inspiring my own music today.

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

I sang a personal, private performance to the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton

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

That's okay! Just let me know as soon as possible and we'll see if it is still possible.

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

Yes of course, I do this for free during my breaks. You can let me know if there's a playlist that you want or I can pick the music. I can offer a DJ set after the final set until the venue closes, for an additional £150.”

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually arrive an hour before I'm due to start and my set up takes around 30 minutes.

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

Of course, you can! I want to make it as personalized for you as you wish. I do have a lot of experience however in learning what songs work best and when to suit the crowd's energy and occasion. What usually works best, is fro you to let me know certain songs you definitely want me to include / not play - so I can work it into my sets.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring absolutely everything! I just need access to one plug socket.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course, just let me know in advance so I can learn it in time.
