Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?

And Many More

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Have played in various large events with bands in the past in Southampton, Boston and Lincoln.
Do you have different line-up options?
I can bring a guitarist with me. See my Serenade profile for more details. My celtic fusion band is in the Serena Smith & Friends profile
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I can be flexible within reason but I need plenty of notice. Occassionally I have a very tight schedule and might not be able to accommodate the change.

45 mins to 1 hour
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes I do

I can add 1 or 2 songs which are not in my set. Anything more will incure an extra fee which we can negotiate.
