My name's Dan, I'm a professional guitarist and singer, specialising in providing good vibes at any event, with energetic sets full of those songs you forgot about, but know every word to.
Don't expect cliché or your 'typical' guitarist/singer. Expect lively medleys of all the best tunes you know every word to.
With regular gigs in some of the UK's most prestigious venues and busiest bars, and with international appearances as well as performances in stadiums, you can be sure that I can work to a crowd, selecting the perfect songs for every event.

Auld Lang Syne (new year traditional)
Just a small performance space, 2m x 2m would be ideal! One power socket is all I need.
Just let me know if there is any sound limiter in place, or limitations on which equipment I can personally use!
I am completely self contained and can supply my own highly professional PA system and a simple but effective lighting rig.
Of course!
I have performed at various stadiums over the years for sporting events - Old Trafford, Etihad, St James' Park, Halliwell Jones, and even Wembley! But most of all I perform pre-match at the Liverpool FC games at Anfield which is loads of fun.
Having said that, my regular slots on Liverpool's Mathew Street are a real honour to play, and I have some regular audience members which is a great feeling.
I love a good wedding! In general though, if people are excited about live music, and up for a dance, I'll have fun anywhere.
I have been playing guitar for over 20 years, performing with bands for 10, and solo for the past 4 years.
Since going solo, I have become a regular fixture in my local area, performing at the busiest bars around the North West UK as well as private events all over Europe. Each year I perform over 250 gigs so I have plenty of experience!
The greatest song of all time is an impossible question - pass! Guitar/vocals-wise, I love John Mayer, so any excuse to throw in some of his songs is great.
For my gigs, I love playing all the cheesy 90s/00s classics that we all forgot existed!
I arrive around an hour before performance time (more for weddings) and often play 2 sets of around 50 minutes. However, I can be extremely flexible with performance times as it's all about what you want. In some of my gigs, I'll play 4 sets, or 3 hours straight. Whatever works for you!
As long as I have somewhere sheltered and stable to stand and somewhere to plug in, I'm happy!
I don't believe in providing a strict set list. I have a huge set of hundreds of songs which are all in my head, and I'm confident in my ability to use those songs at the perfect time, but I always ask clients to tell me their favourite (and least favourite) songs and artists before the event so I can be onto a winner straight away. Also send through any specific requests and I'll do my best to incorporate them!
High energy, fun, friendly! A lot of my reviews mention how they wish they would have booked me for longer, which is always nice to hear!
