Verified profile

My love and passion for music has led to me being a working and gigging musician for over 20 years from performing regularly in Jazz duos, trios and quartets around Leeds when I was a music student, to performing in covers bands playing every style of music imaginable; rock, pop, blues, funk, R'n'B, country, rock'n'roll, reggae, etc. My love and passion for music has also led me into teaching music and I regularly teach private music lessons as well as being a lecturer and Head of BA in Music Performance at Liverpool Media Academy. Having worked as a solo artist for a number of years, I am able to suit my set of songs to the audience, I have a wide and varied set of music from 1950's to modern day pop songs and everything in between. I am very professional in my business and if you book me for your; event, function, wedding, celebration , etc, then you will not be disappointed. Any questions or queries, then please feel free to contact me. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. Wayne.

Despite some confusion around the venue (down to us, not Wayne), the evening was a huge success - being talked about a lot by our guests. Everyone had a great time. Wayne was such a nice guy, so talented, a lovely voice and he kept everyone engaged. He created just the atmosphere we were after with great songs, played and sung so well. We would recommend him unreservedly to anyone wanting to put on a memorable event.

We hired Wayne for a long awaited 50th birthday party. We were apprehensive about hiring live music to play within a marquee situated in a garden. Wow!!!! Wayne was fantastic! He held the crowd from 16-80 years old. He kept the dance floor filled from the onset. Kept the entire crowd entertained. Amazing! Totally recommend Wayne for all events and look forward to hiring him again in the not so distant future.
