Singing guitarist

Hi, I'm Will. I've been singing and playing guitar for over 25 years and have performed thousands of professional gigs at clubs, festivals, events, parties and weddings. During my career I've toured most of the UK and Europe, and played major festivals including Glastonbury, Boomtown and Latitude. I have extensive experience entertaining guests at corporate events, sports matches and luxury resorts, with a client list that includes Soho Farmhouse, The Newt in Somerset, Bristol City FC and The Faqra Club, Lebanon. I have a huge repertoire of covers and am comfortable performing a range of styles including pop, soul, rock, country, blues, jazz and folk.... something for everyone! I love performing at weddings and have sung for couples during their ceremony, provided chilled acoustic music for their drinks receptions, and rocked many an evening party too! I'm happy to learn special requests like your first dance, and can tailor my show to your needs, whether it's relaxed dinner music or getting guests up and dancing with some stone cold classics! I supply a quality PA system and also offer a bespoke service including DJ playlist to keep the party going between sets. I work alongside some of the finest musicians in the South West, and can also offer a killer three piece band that will really get the party started. Whatever your event, rest assured you are in safe hands. Please don't hesitate to get in touch for more information and I look forward to playing for you soon!

Will was awesome! We had so many compliments from our guests about his playing! It really made our drinks reception having him perform, and he even learned a few of our favourite songs. Highly recommended!

Customer questions

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

No problem, please just let me know with as much notice as you can. I occasionally have more than one gig in a day so that can affect things, but I am always happy to be as flexible as I can.

How much time do you need to set up?

I can be set up in under 30 minutes, but usually arrive an hour before I play to allow for more challenging load-ins and ensure everything runs smoothly.

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

I have crafted the setlist from hundreds of gigs and the songs always go down well, but I'm very happy to discuss the song choices beforehand to make sure it's the best selection for your event!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Of course! This will include my beautiful Atkin acoustic guitar and a high-end compact PA system!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I'd be pleased to include one special request for free (as long as it can be arranged and performed with just a guitar and voice). Futher special requests can be made for £30 per song to allow for learning and practice time.
