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.

We booked Sam to play at our drinks reception at our wedding and he was the perfect fit! Very talented and exactly the chilled acoustic vibe we wanted. Everyone was complimenting his voice and the playlist! Thanks so much Sam!

We had Sam perform at our welcome drinks for our recent wedding ceremony and he was perfect! We sent him a list of songs that we’d like him to play from his set list and he was happy to sing these. He was punctual and flexible with our timings as we had to change venue and start time. We’ve had lots of nice feedback from our guests too who said he had a lovely voice! Thanks for playing at our event Sam! Highly recommend!
