About Robbie

Edinburgh-born singer-guitarist Robbie brings over a decade of experience to weddings + events, with an eclectic acoustic setlist!
Singing guitarist
Edinburgh
Public liability insurance of £1 million

Robbie, a solo singing guitarist born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, has been performing professionally to audiences up and down the country for more than 10 years! He has gained recognition across Scotland for his vibrant and versatile performances, from cozy private events in some of the country's quaintest castles to lively city pubs and clubs. With his experience, he’s confident to be the perfect fit for your event! Consistently building on an ever-expanding setlist, Robbie loves meeting new people from all over the world while he works; collecting new song suggestions from city-centre tourists, and inspiration from newlyweds to be. Helping to craft a little of the magic on a couple’s special day, or adding to the celebrations at someone's big birthday party, is without a doubt his favourite part of the job. With a collection of songs featuring the soul of Bill Withers, the pop of Sabrina Carpenter, the rock of Simple Minds, and the pride of Dougie Maclean, his setlist takes into account genres from delicate to powerful. And he's taken these songs to a vast array of venues too! Places include the iconic Eileen Donan Castle, Dalhousie Castle, and Archerfield Estate, as well as the stunning Larchfield Estate, Broxmouth Courtyard, and Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens. Robbie prides himself on his professionalism, attention to detail, and musicianship. Whether it's following a setlist, or learning and performing requested songs for the first time, Robbie will put his heart into each and every performance. This commitment extends to his business conduct too, where his honesty, adaptability, and timeliness will be apparent to all clients.

Robbie played at myself and wife’s wedding reception and was great. We got so much positive feedback from our guests who loved him. Robbie was very easy to deal with and his constant communication helped relax us in anticipation for our big day. I would recommended Robbie if you are ever needing a musician for an event.

Robbie played at our drinks reception for our Wedding and he was exceptional! We had so many compliments on the day and after of how good Robbie was and have recommended him several times since to others. Robbie was great at communicating on the lead up to the wedding and put us totally at ease - would highly recommend! Thanks again Robbie

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love the energy and vibe I bring to every performance. They appreciate how I keep the atmosphere fun and lively, with a great mix of songs that get everyone involved and enjoying the moment!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've been fortunate enough to play in some incredible places throughout my career, from city-centre pubs to Scotland's castles! The memorable venues have to be; Eileen Donan Castle, Dalhousie Castle, Archerfield Estate, Broxmouth Courtyard, and Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens. My favourite pubs to play in are Biddy Mulligans, Hebrides (West End) & GeorgeIV!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love playing acoustically, and that probably stems from listening to a lot of John Mayer's acoustic stuff, Ryan Adams, Colin Hay, and The Tallest Man On Earth. I would compare my singing style to Neil Diamond (or so I've been told!)

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

Alongside some beautiful weddings (which are the gigs I love this most), I've been lucky enough to perform some corporate gigs including a Christmas event for DKV Mobility (in Germany). I've also taken part in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival most years!

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

Not a problem at all! If your timings change after booking, just give me a heads-up. I’m pretty flexible and will do my best to adapt to any updates. The earlier you let me know, the easier it is to make sure everything runs perfectly on the day!

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

Absolutely! I can provide an iPod/DJ service using Spotify before and between my sets to keep the energy up and the atmosphere buzzing. This way, the music never stops, and the vibe stays alive throughout your event! If you'd like this service after my final set, you can purchase this for an additional fee.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually expect to be ready to play after a 45 minute set up, but this varies by event type and location.

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

Yes, definitely! You're more than welcome to pick your favorite songs from my set list. I love tailoring my performance to fit your event and make it extra special. Just let me know your selections, and I'll make it happen!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring all the equipment needed to perform, including my PA, instrument, and all the other bits and pieces! The only thing I’ll need is access to a power source to keep everything running smoothly!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Definitely, and even if a song isn't on my song list there's a good chance I already know it! If there's a particularly special song you'd like me to perform that I don't already know, then there is a small rehearsal fee depending on time required to learn it.
