Public liability insurance of £10 million

I am passionate about performing. I do it because I love it, and I am told that it shows. I have been performing since the age of 15. I still use the guitar I bought when I was 17. It has been to every gig I have done since. I have spent the last few years putting together nearly 100 tracks of Pop, Rock and Blues that will have the dance floor full, or if it's a more formal event, toes tapping. Because I am a solo act I can typically learn new songs fast so if there's something you want sung live at your event I can probably do that for you. Over the years I have performed at all sorts of events from Private Parties, to Weddings, Festivals to Corporate Events, to Pubs and Clubs. I believe entertainment should be fun and I aim to deliver that while remaining professional. Exceeding customer's expectations is what I love to do and I very much enjoy seeing folk happy and, hopefully they become raving fans.

5 out of 5

My wife and I hired Jules for a summer party we had after he was recommended to us by a friend. From the outset it was obvious to us that he is professional, friendly and adaptable. Our party guests thought he was brilliant and he had everyone dancing, joining in and laughing. He offered to learn a song specifically for our party and we all had a great night. We will definitely be having him back.

Slow Hand Jules performed at my birthday party and he was just brilliant. Great interaction with my family and friends. He was integral to a memorable and fun evening. I would definitely recommend him

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love my attention to detail, communication and showmanship. I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure everyone have a fabulous time. This is why I get re booked by venues up to 20 times.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

BRSA Sports Ground Bristol The Royal Oak Luxborough The Royal Oak Porlock Burnham The Iron Duke Weston Super Mare The Captains Cabin Cheddar Cabra The York Inn - Churchinford Culm Valley Inn - Culmhead Plymouth Jolly Miller John Fowler Holiday Parks: Berrow Brixham Widemouth Bay Lady's Mile Holiday Park at Dawlish All the pubs doing Live Music in Taunton

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I have a wide taste in music and take my influences from many places but my top contenders are Gary Moore, The Cult, Duran Duran and Billy Idol.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Best attended - Lady's Mile - 300-400. High Profile - Under a Summers Moon Festival Most Fun - Private party for 21st bday in Bournemouth.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I aim to be as flexible as I can be to allow your event to run smoothly. If times change just let me know, and I will always do my best to accommodate your changes.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes of course. I do this as a matter of course.

How much time do you need to set up?

Typical set up and sound check time for a new to me venue is about 1.5 hours. Once set up and sound checked I can provide a free playlist service to set the atmosphere prior to my live perfomance.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from many performances and learning what works best for specific events so that your guests have an amazing time. I'm more than happy for you to pick up to 6 numbers from my extensive playlist for me to include in the set lists. As listed in "Add Ons" I'm also willing to learn a specific number for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely. I bring all eat equipment required to perform to around 150 people. I am more than willing to perform to more than 150 but this will require hiring in additional PA speakers which will be charged per specific event.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes - please see Add Ons. These are charged individually.
