About Stockman

They Don't Write Songs Like This Anymore...
Singer
Waterlooville
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Playing mainly hits from the 60's 70's and 80's in an acoustic soul/jazz style (I also offer a Christmas set) I've played on tour and in the studio professionally for many years, (which means... I'll turn up, I won't get drunk and try and chat up your female guests and when my set is over I'll quietly leave ) I've worked and work with several major record labels to date and now mostly play private events and ticket performances in art centre and small theatres across the uk I like to perform nostalgic song from the eras mentioned above that were big hits but other acts don't seem to play As well as an acoustic guitar based set I also offer piano set either sung or instrumental Also available as a duo with double bass or trio with light percussion or drums. Price-wise I may be slightly more than others but this comes under the "reassuringly expensive" category. When you book me that's the last you have to think about the music act. I'll sort out all the small details around (electrical powerpoint, public liability etc...) it so you don't have to.

We have live music every month throughout the year and use a variety of different performers. Alex played for us in September and was brilliant. We've rebooked him for January (10 / 10)

Alex played at our ceremony and it was just wonderful. It was exactly the chilled, laidback and happy vibes we were looking! (10 / 10)

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

That the songs are so well know but acts don't usually play. The style we play them in is very laid back and unique so it offers something they can't get elsewhere

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

with the covers set it's been mainly high profile private events

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

various festivals, tours and venues worldwide but I suppose the most iconic venue was the famous "Birdland " club in New York

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

We always try our 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 us know.

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

yes that's no problem let us know if you need iPod bases music though our system.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 hour before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up we can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance but actually setup time takes about 30 mins

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, we're definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

yes we do.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

“If a song isn't included in the song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £100 for this service to take into account rehearsal times, learning and arranging the song etc...”
