Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a performance space of at least 2 meters X 2 for solo guitar and 4 X 3 for duo, trio or quartet, two power sockets in the same spot and one or more parking spaces, according to the number of musicians involved.


What information do you require about a venue?

It would be helpful to know if there is a P. A. System in the venue that we can use, how far the stage is from the parking area, also if there are stairs, elevators etc...


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

We provide our own personal instruments and amplifiers and, in some cases, we have a small P.A. System.
We do not provide lighting equipment but we can hire some, whenever it' s needed.


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

Yes, we can play music from Spotify before and between our sets. We can choose the music ourselves or let the client choose it.

I performed in various Hotels and Venues in London (West End, Park Lane, Savoy, Hilton...)

Later I moved back to Italy and I worked for 23 Summer editions of Umbria Jazz Summer Courses (Clinics) with the Berklee College Of Music. I currently teach at the Conservatory of Music in Campobasso (Italy) and perform around Rome, Naples and Bari's areas.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive two hours before the performance and play different sets of 45 minutes or more, according to agreement with clients.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to play indoor and outdoor, whatever is requested, as long as the weather allows me to move my fingers.


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

Whenever is possible, I try to please my clients with some requests (not too many!) as long as they are not too far from my genres and my instrumental lineup (guitar solo, duo, trio etc...)


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Swinging, elegant and soft, tasty interpretations.
