About Pete

Solo Acoustic Covers artist from the Midlands. Great variety of songs, upbeat, sing along classics or chilled vibe. All needs catered for.
Singing guitarist
Rugby
Public liability insurance of £5 million

With a great vocal range and accomplished guitar playing, I offer the highest quality performance. A varied repertoire allows my shows to be tailored to the venues needs. I've played, pubs, clubs, restaurants, weddings, private parties. In addition to being a covers artist I am an accomplished singer song writer, achieving No4 in the itunes easy listening chart with my song 'For You!', Music has a been a passion from the age of 11, when I took up Saxophone, this led to achieving professional standard qualifications by my late teens. I find great joy performing and love the interaction with an audience, this is what navigated to me being a Solo covers artist.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My set list receives great feedback, adding songs that people have forgotten they love rather than putting out all the usual music often associated with live cover performances.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

As a professional musician I perform on average twice a week, every week in bars, clubs, restaurants and pubs as well as private events, parties, weddings and corporate functions. I mainly work in the Midlands area but regularly play in London, and the north West.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My influences differ depending on the style of music I am performing or if I am writing. My writing influences include Frank Turner, Will Varley, The under cover hippy, Poor Mans Poison. My covers influences include Foo Fighters, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Elvis, Ed Sheeran

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

The highest profile gigs would be at festivals, one of note would be Soul Circus in the centre of Cheltenham following Covid Lockdown. The sense of normality which all experienced could be felt throughout.

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

I am always accommodating with clients around timings. Often timings change for a gig, so please feel free just to get in touch to discuss to ensure I can provide the very service

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

Yes, absolutely, I can provide music via my PA before and after my performance and also during an interval.

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to be set up 1 hour before performance time and set up takes 30minutes

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

Yes, please visit my songlist and if there are specific songs you require me to play please reach out in advance to ensure they are included.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

yes, 100%, all I require is a plug socket for my pa.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes, if a song isn't included in my songlist please reach out and I will endeavour to learn up to 2 songs of your choice.
