Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Singing along with me, I always have fun with everyone when I am playing and work hard at getting people involved and smiling.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have played at many venues including the old Wembley Stadium, The Albert Hall and my local pub! Too many venues to list. I have toured all over Europe and the USA.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love artists like Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ELO, The Eagles, bands that play songs you can sing to.

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

I opened up with a short 15 minute acoustic set at The Royal Albert Hall for The Scottish Tattoo. It was an awesome night.

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

I 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 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.

How much time do you need to set up?

I can be set up in as little as 30 minutes if necessary, 1 hour is obv more comfortable where possible. 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 our live performance.

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

I work at my set lists, having performed in so many different venues and events, you quickly get used to what works. But I am more than happy to play your preferred songs from the playlist, just let me know in advance.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc
