Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I usually just need a plug socket and a small space to play in (it can be really small if you're pushed for space).


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know if they have limiters in place and if they have the required space which I need to play in (which is very compact - I can fit into almost any room).


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I provide full PA and I can provide lighting if required.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can provide a Spotify playlist before and between my sets at no extra cost.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually ask for an hour minutes to set up but if schedules require it I can set up in about 45 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, provided that I'm covered (for the purposes of protecting my equipment from the rain. and/or for shade if it's hot)


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

I can really customise the setlist we choose together to your tastes - I have a big songlist here (over 300 songs), but I'm always happy to learn new ones and I never charge for that. I've learned songs in Turkish, Arabic, Russian and on fingerstyle guitar before so no ask is too big! Anything to avoid playing Sweet Caroline again (joking).


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I've got over 60 5* reviews - clients say. I'm organised, proactive and responsive before the event and that I'm an excellent performer who is flexible and charismatic at the event itself.
