About / Biography

My name is Louis and I am a guitarist and singer with a lot of experience playing in bands and as a solo artist.

My repertoire of some 200+ songs includes the biggest hits in rock, soul, country, blues, and pop in a period from the 1950s until the 2000s and it is suitable for any kind of event - be it background dinner music or a joyous party, I can cover it all.

I sing, play guitar, sometimes use a looper for more instrumental sections, and even throw in some harmonica on a stand.

Excellent musicianship and song list for every occasion!

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

PA system, microphone stand, and cable.
I bring my own guitar.


What information do you require about a venue?

Precise directions, PA system info, crowd capacity and house lighting.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I'm completely self-contained. I bring my own PA system to all of my gigs that are within driving distance from my home.


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

Yes, I can, I use Apple Music and I can play any list on my PA system.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I performed far and wide with my band and also traveled the world as a guitar vocalist performing on various cruise ships plus I did a lot of one nighters in clubs and pubs along with wedding parties.
The one gig that holds special place for me is when I fronted my band at the opening ceremony for the University Olympics, it was epic!


What's your favourite type of event?

I enjoy playing various kinds of events because that way everything is always fresh, maybe wedding parties are my favorite because there is so much positive energy.


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

I started performing when I was still in high school. In the meantime I finished music academy and performed in all possible settings, there must be over a thousand gigs I played since then!


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

The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are my two pillars. I saw Stones live 8 times and counting and saw Paul McCartney as well and they're treasures to behold.
Anything by them gets the crowd going.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 2 hours before the performance so I can have enough time to set everything in peace.
The setup doesn't take long - all I need is a quick sound check to connect my guitar and try the microphone/guitar balance.
Usually, it is 3 x 45 mins but it depends on the occasion.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to play outside but I ask for shade to protect me and the equipment from the sun or rain, a flat level surface, and a power supply close to the performance area.


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

I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to approx 2 songs. The clients are welcome to pick songs from my song list but I have a lot of experience I know how to adapt my set to follow the audience's mood.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Skilled, professional, and most importantly, totally fitting for the event that I was hired - be it a Valentine's Day dinner, Wedding party, corporate event, or just a good old bar performance.


How many sets do you play per gig?

I usually play 3 sets but it all depends on the occasion and my agreement with the client.
