About Steve

The human jukebox!

Guitarist

Bedford

Public liability insurance of £5 million

Absolute guitar nut. Got a houseful of them. I’m at present in a Beatles tribute band, the Flying Ants. Also in a Blues Brothers band occasionally. I have had residencies in hotels and wine bars playing classical, ragtime blues folk and pop. Performed Tommy by the Who in the orchestra at Gordon Craig theatre. Was frontman in popular local band Unison for many years playing the pubs and clubs until better offers came along.

Customer questions

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.”

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

“Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, I provide this for an additional £100

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as the PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!”

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

“My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I’m definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

“Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically and through the p a system

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

“If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I’m happy to do this for you.
