Hey, I'm Ben and outside my day job as a Teacher I take on a few gigs per month. My set consists of classic tunes from the 60s right through to the present day. I’m also open to taking on requests ahead of time. Please get in touch if you have any questions. Cheers, Ben

Ben's Reviews

Ben got everybody up and dancing at our birthday party - especially when he played the 80s classics :)

Ben contributed to the perfect vibe at our drinks reception with his acoustic renditions of classic tunes! Lots of guests also commented on his great voice!
