Guitarist

Newton Abbot

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Started playing pubs in the Torbay area aged 18 as a solo artist also supporting 3BF doing their half time sets. After doing that for a number months I started to get offers to do private birthdays and then moved on to do some weddings. I found my self more suited to be entrance music or an afternoon sing song for an hour or two due to my music being mostly relaxed and easy going with some up tempo numbers later on in the set. I’m ideal for an afternoon before your main band act at a wedding. I have also done many gigs with just acoustic guitar playing setting the tone of the wedding for the arrival of guests.
