Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 1 or 2 hours before the event, taking into account the setup, sound check, and the musical program to be played.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I do like it, although it's more difficult to get a good sound from the guitar outdoors, but it's necessary to avoid being in direct sunlight and preferably in a temperate climate.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

When it's a concert, I choose the program, but if it's a special event, the client can request the music they want to hear before the event to learn the piece, if it's not in the repertoire.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?
