Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

The best gig was playing for a wedding in some underground caverns. The acoustics were brilliant and it was very atmospheric.
The best venue was the the budock vean hotel in Cornwall where I was resident guitarist for many years


What's your favourite type of event?

I particularly enjoy playing at weddings- particularly during the ceremony where the couple has asked me to play one of their favourite songs or pieces of music. This is often a very emotional and moving part of the ceremony


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I spent many years perfecting my technique and creating a wide and varied repertoire. I then started performing at weddings and various events, and I have been playing publicly now for at least 15 years


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I have been influenced in playing style by the Spanish guitarist Segovia, whose expression and emotional way of playing I always try to emulate. My favourite artists are Bach and David Bowie, and the greatest song of all time is It’s Getting Better by Cass Elliot


Can you learn and play a specific song request?

Yes. I will take any up to 3 song requests and may need some prior notice in order to learn them if they aren’t already in my repertoire

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

30 minute set up
Up to 3-4 hours performance


Are you happy to perform outside?

Very happy to play outside. I have an excellent battery powered amplifier if mains power isn’t available outside


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

Yes clients definitely have a say. I will tailor my set to include more popular classic songs, or more classical music, depending on the client’s preferences. I will also learn up to 3 songs or pieces of music. This is particularly useful for wedding ceremonies


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients have described my performances as fulfilling their expectations completely, and delighting their guests with a wide and varied repertoire


How much room do you need to perform?

Very little room needed. Just enough for me and my guitar and a small compact amplifier
