Verified profile

Started in 2005 modway is a culmination of having been in several bands over the years . My solo show allows me to perform on a regular basis in all types of venues across the south east and London . I choose to play the 60’s beat & 70’s mod revival, Because it’s the best musical period and genre . Coupled with the 80’s Reggae two tone /.ska and 90’s Brit pop period . All of my songs are carefully constructed backing tracks with harmony vocals and instruments produced by myself . Which free’s me up to be the front man that I am 😎 Great for pubs, clubs and private party events that want the full band experience on a budget without the headache and financial restraints and space required to accommodate a band these days So If you like : the Jam , the Beatles , the Kinks , the Who , the Small faces , the searchers . The clash , kaiser chiefs , Paul weller , madness , the specials , Ub40 , bob Marley . Etc Then mods the man for you With a wealth of talent and experience that spans over 35 years you won’t be disappointed in the delivery of this exceptional talent” .

Stuart was absolutely fantastic. Very easy to get along with and very versatile when initially putting together the repertoire. As his ability and range spans several decades Altered his set list according to guest requests. His quality and energy gave the party that extra special feel. Can't recommend this guy highly enough.
