I’m Tim Somerfield, a loop-pedal virtuoso from the South Coast of the UK specialising in turning heartfelt moments at weddings into unforgettable musical experiences. Why I perform? Because there’s magic in the way live music binds people. I love building a full-band sound—beat, groove, harmony—from nothing but my guitar, voice, and loop pedal—layered live, on the spot. It’s spontaneous energy, crafted with soul and warmth. How I got here: over a decade of playing—starting with classical guitar and fingerstyle, then evolving into complex, real-time looping. That craft has taken me through hundreds of gigs across pubs, festivals, corporate events, and especially weddings, where I’ve become known for my adaptability, professionalism, and charisma. Wedding highlights: Whether serenading a signing‑in gallery, hyping up the dancefloor, or soundtracking first dances with original takes on your most cherished songs and bespoke arrangements—I bring authenticity, reliability, and a laid-back yet engaging stage presence. I tailor every set to complement your special day, ensuring everything flows to plan. At your wedding, I'm not just a performer—I’m a vibe-maker. Let’s create those moments people talk about for years.

Tim's Reviews

Customer questions

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?

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100 for each extra hour this would add to our day.

How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours 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!

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?

For typical indoor gigs, yes - as long as there is mains power for us to plug into we have everything else covered. For non-typical, and/or outdoor gigs you would need to consider requirements and provisions for power and bad/changeable weather.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in our 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 an additional fee for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc. It really depends on the song!
