Peter Webster – Solo Singer & Acoustic Guitarist Peter Webster is a Bedfordshire-based singer, guitarist and songwriter who brings warm vocals, accomplished acoustic guitar playing and a relaxed, engaging style to weddings, private parties, celebrations and special events. Music has been an important part of Peter's life for many years. As both a performer and songwriter, he has always been drawn to the power of a great song and the ability of live music to bring people together. Whether creating a relaxed atmosphere during a wedding reception or getting guests singing along to much-loved favourites later in the evening, Peter's aim is always to provide a memorable and genuinely personal musical experience. Performing live with vocals and acoustic guitar, and without backing tracks, Peter offers an authentic, stripped-back sound that works beautifully across a wide variety of settings. His extensive repertoire includes classic songs from artists such as The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel and John Denver, alongside many other well-known favourites spanning folk, rock, country and popular music. This versatility allows Peter to adapt his performance to the occasion. He can provide gentle, unobtrusive acoustic music while guests arrive, dine or socialise, or build towards a more upbeat and interactive set of familiar songs that encourages friends and family to sing along. Every event is different, and Peter is happy to discuss the atmosphere and style of music that will best suit yours. Alongside his work as a live performer, Peter is also an experienced songwriter and recording artist. His original music is rooted in contemporary folk and acoustic music, reflecting his long-standing interest in storytelling and the singer-songwriter tradition. This background has helped shape his approach as a performer: thoughtful song selection, strong musical arrangements and a genuine appreciation for the songs he performs. Peter has appeared at a variety of live events and festivals in recent years, including the Hertfordshire County Show, Todd in the Hole Festival, Old Town Live and Tempsford Beer Festival. These appearances have given him experience of performing for audiences in a wide range of environments, from intimate acoustic settings to larger outdoor events. Professional, reliable and self-contained, Peter takes pride in making the musical side of an event as straightforward and stress-free as possible. He understands that organisers already have plenty to think about, so he works closely with clients in advance to ensure that timings, repertoire and practical arrangements are all properly considered. Above all, Peter believes that live music should feel human and immediate. There are no backing tracks or elaborate production — just voice, guitar and great songs, performed with warmth and personality. Whether you're planning a wedding, birthday party, anniversary celebration, garden party, corporate event or other special occasion, Peter would be delighted to help provide the perfect soundtrack.

Customer questions

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

I always try to be as flexible as possible, so if timings change, let me know and I will do my best to accommodate.

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

Yes, I bring a playlist with me on my phone, and can put this on for you before and between my sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually try to arrive at a gig one to one-and-a-half hours prior to playing. It takes me around 45 minutes to set up my gear, but I like to be ready ahead of time.

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

I'm always happy to chat through the set list, and to adapt to your needs as much as I can so that your audience enjoy themselves as much as possible.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I do - I bring all the necessary PA gear, and everything I need to perform. All I need you to provide is a power socket, and, if the gig is outdoor, a cover of some kind if there is any chance of rain.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

One or two, yes, provided they are within my range and are actually possible on an acoustic guitar.
