Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
The songs are sang with emotion and style. Because I am foremost a guitarist by trade the songs have a technical level that most pub/wedding singers are unable to achieve. I am very good at reading the crowd and playing the right songs without long gaps or iPad flicking - I have over 200 songs committed to memory
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Too many to list as I play over 200 shows a year but if you want some fancy names I've played at The Royal Albert Hall, Wembley, Royal Festival Hall and many venues in UK, EU, Australia, America, Canada, Russia
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I have been playing guitar since 1988 when I first saw Pink Floyd at Wembley. Others include Eric Clapton, Ed Sheeran, The Eagles, Muse, Michael Kiwanuka, Johhny Cash, U2, and about a million other artists I've absorbed over the years
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I played in a band with Darren Hayes for 5 years - he was the singer from Aussie Duo 'Savage Garden' - during 3 world tours we played some of the most amazing venues you could imagine, TV shows, Radio shows, Major Events etc...
Do you have different line-up options?
Yes, my main act is Solo Acoustic Guitar with Vocals. I use a few effects so my act actually sounds like Guitar x 2, Vocal x 2, Bass Guitar & Beats (all played from one guitar). Other options Guitar & Violin a a very unique combination. Full band options are available
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
depends how drastically they change and whether I have taken other bookings before or after your event. Just get in touch ASAP if anything changes
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes no problem, DJ service is NOT provided
How much time do you need to set up?
For the Solo/Duo option about 30mins
For the band up to 1.5 hours
Can you roam around while you perform?
No sorry
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Yes, you are welcome to pick out your favourites and I'll add them in where I can
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes - if given enough time and the song is appropriate to play on guitar and vocal
