Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Oof, don't ask a shy Englishman that! I've been told I'm funny on stage and have a unique voice. I also surprise people with knowing very niche and authentic songs as well as the classics.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
O2 Academy Leicester, Kew Gardens supporting Billy Ocean, Pryzm Kingston supporting Frank Turner and Circa Waves
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Queen, Bob Dylan, Noah Kahan, Ed Sheeran, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Probably Kew Gardens for Kew The Music!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I'm always keen to make it work so just let me know as soon as possible, it's rarely an issue.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, no problem. I'm happy to hire out the PA for additional DJ services for an extra £100.
How much time do you need to set up?
45 minutes. However I usually arrive just over an hour before just incase.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I am entirely self contained, I just need power.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Yes! For weddings and special days I'm always happy to learn one song for free, and any additional songs would be charged at £30 each, just to cover the time!
