I have booked Steven Faulkner for 2 corporate conference dinners playing for the pre-dinner drinks and after the meal and an office Christmas party and he is BRILLIANT! Great communication, punctual and courteous and happy to tailor the playlist to what we want. He adapts on the spot to how the audience reacts and is flexible from acoustic to more upbeat if people are dancing! HIGHLY recommended music professional meaning one less thing to worry about.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The most common thing people love is the energy & variation of artists covered whilst keeping the show flowing & audience having a great time!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I’ve played over 2000 shows of various size over the last 20 years. Notable appearances at YNOT festival, DeMonfort Hall, Derby Assembly Rooms alongside wedding venues, conference centres, holiday parks & pubs/clubs

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Although I cover a real variety of artists my main influences are The Beatles, Queen, Foo Fighters & Blur.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I’ve been lucky enough to perform at YNot festival a few times as an original artist. As a covers act I’ve played at Glastondbudget multiple times as well as big crowds at Pontins & other holiday parks

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

In most cases this isn’t a problem. All I ask is that you communicate with me in good time so that I a can alter any plans accordingly.

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

No problem at all. I do this for free from up to half an hour before my set. I can also provide music via my PA system for an extra £100 up to 90minutes

How much time do you need to set up?

For a band show or solo show with tracks 60-90minutes is ideal. 30-60minutes for an acoustic set. These are the ideal timings - every event or venue is different so I am flexible where possible

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

My set lists are crafted from the experience of over 2000 performances and learning what works best to proved the audience with the best experience. However I’m always keen to know my clients/audiences tastes as my only aim is to play whichever show will be enjoyed the most

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes. I bring all instruments, PA system, amps, stands & cables. All I need is a plug socket & a staging area

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I can depending on time available & if the song fits with my genres. Please feel free to discuss with me. I charge £30 per song learned
