Steve Painter

Steve is a solo guitarist with a large and varied repertoire, working at weddings, parties, conferences, corporate events, dinners, exhibitions etc in the Thames Valley and South of England. Styles include classical, jazz era, ballads and contemporary pop/rock, popular melodies that you will recognise and enjoy, that capture the mood of the event, providing a relaxed and sensitive performance. Often bespoke and always tailored to the event, special requests not already in his repertoire can always be considered. A wedding day could begin with Steve playing classical and romantic/soundtrack pieces as guests arrive, and during the register signing - with a special tune for the bride’s entrance. Then, during the reception and wedding breakfast, a selection of more modern and upbeat tunes. There's a representative sample of Steve's 100+ tunes in the repertoire section. Steve uses acoustic and electric guitars for a variety of tones, discretely amplified according to the demands of the occasion and venue. Sound system and lights are also used when required. An accomplished guitarist and performer in many styles, with more than 30 years experience of entertaining as a soloist and band player. Now based near the South coast, Steve has worked throughout the UK as well as engagements in Germany, Denmark and Greece, in hotels, bars, concert venues, town halls, places of worship, museums, galleries and private homes.
