Latest reviews of our Singing Guitarists in Sheffield
"We hired Emily for our wedding after a last-minute cancellation. All I can say is I wish I'd hired her in the first place! Her voice is gorgeous, her song selections are perfect for cultivating an serene, romantic vibe, and she played a big role in making our ceremony (and wedding day) feel so special. Emily was also happy to accommodate learning our requests, and was really communicative and professional about everything. She was punctual, had all the necessary equipment and really just made the whole thing feel easy and stress-free. I can't recommend her enough for your wedding or special occasion!"

"Wow!!Absolutely superb! Outstanding! Incredible—truly not enough descriptive words to highlight just how amazing Paul was. He is a great acoustic guitarist with a fantastic voice. When he plays his set—and I’m calling it a set because, similar to a DJ, he doesn't stop between songs—the transitions are completely seamless thanks to how gifted he is. I don’t know how he manages to keep the music going! He has an excellent musical repertoire. For my husband’s party, I requested a general vibe and sent him a rough playlist featuring the likes of The Killers, George Ezra, and Ed Sheeran, and he did not fail to deliver. Honestly, he is going to be my go-to artist from now on. On top of that, he engages so well with the guests and gave plenty of nods to the birthday boy throughout the night. I’m gushing now, but he really is brilliant! I am so lucky he had availability. Paul, thank you so much. What I didn’t share with you at the time is that my husband received a terminal cancer diagnosis in January 2025 and was told he wouldn’t see the end of the year. So here we are, a year and a half later, celebrating his 43rd birthday, and you made it so incredibly special. Thank you so much! (Oh, and apologies for our horrendous backing vocals, lol!) As we all said, we know you’re the bee's knees—and we were all stone-cold sober! Wishing you all the luck and success in the future!"

FAQs about hiring Singing guitarists in Sheffield
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Is it hard to sing and play guitar?
Singing and playing guitar simultaneously can be a challenging task for both beginners and experienced musicians. It requires coordination, timing, and the ability to focus on two separate tasks at once. Experienced musicians may find it easier to sing and play guitar simultaneously, but it still requires a high level of skill and practice. They need to be able to anticipate the chords and lyrics of the song, and they need to be able to adjust their playing and singing to match the tempo and dynamics of the music. With practice, most people can learn to sing and play guitar simultaneously. It is a rewarding skill that can add a new dimension to your musical performance.
How to choose the right singing guitarist?
Choosing the right singing guitarist for your event can make or break the atmosphere and mood of the occasion. Here are some factors to consider when making your decision: - Musical Style and Genre: Think about the overall theme and vibe of your event and choose a singing guitarist who aligns with that style. If you're planning a casual gathering, a singer-songwriter with an acoustic guitar might be perfect. For a more formal event, a vocalist with a wider repertoire and a backing band might be more suitable. - Experience and Repertoire: Ensure the singing guitarist has a proven track record of success in similar events. With Encore, you can read their reviews to evaluate their experience level and reputation. - Stage Presence and Professionalism: Choose a singing guitarist who exudes confidence and stage presence. They should be able to engage the audience, interact with guests, and maintain a professional demeanour throughout the event. On our site, you can browse through our collection of 360 singing guitarists who can bring your event to the next level.
How much time do singing guitarists take to set up?
Your singing guitarist will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the singing guitarist prior to their arrival.
