Pat is an exceptional guitarist, who I would highly recommend for any event. He turned up on time to play 2 sets at my birthday party. One was an acoustic guitar set, the second was on electric guitar with backing tracks. I had told him, prior to the event, that I like rock music and who my favourite bands are, and he made sure to play some of their songs. He played exactly as well as he does in the videos on this page. All my guests really enjoyed his performance and commented that it made the evening really different and enjoyable. I won’t hesitate to book Pat again. I’m intrigued to see him perform with a vocalist and/or other musicians. Thanks Pat

What a great musician. He reads the room perfectly, with a great combination of hypnotic technique and catchy popular music. Pat goes between genres so elegantly and can get a group of people engaged so easily with his skill and charisma. An absolute pleasure to watch whenever Pat plays!

I have watched Patrick play live several times over the years and his technique is personally unrivalled. We invited him to perform at our event and our guests were extremely impressed! He has a completely unique style when he plays, something I haven't seen before, and something that we all need to hear more of in this otherwise 'mundane' life! A very kind, gifted gentleman who will be a well known name soon.

Customer questions

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

I try to be as flexible as possible, so please let me know as soon as you can about any timing changes.

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

I am very happy to provide this service. If you require a DJ service beyond the agreed gig duration I would ask for an additional fee. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.

How much time do you need to set up?

15-30 minutes

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

Please make up to 4 requests from the list, and do give me an idea of any styles or artists you particularly enjoy (or don't!)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, my PA is battery powered so I don't even need an electrical outlet.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes I am happy to take requests that are not in the song list. I wrote and arrange all solo guitar songs that I play and it takes me a considerable amount of time to create and learn a new piece. As such I ask for an additional fee for this service.
