If it's an outside acoustic event I have a battery powered speaker. Otherwise just access to a power point.
Directions and the best place to load equipment.
I provide a full pa sound system and lighting both for ambience mood lighting and disco/dance-floor lights.
Yes, full DJ set or background music in-between sets are available.
I played at the legendary Abbey Road studios for a private party.
I love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are my favourite! The guests are always happy and it’s easy to get them dancing.
I played live music in Tenerife and fuerteventura for over 10 years. Then moved back to Carlisle 15 years ago and have been playing Weddings, bars and events around Cumbria and south west Scotland ever since.
Love all popular music from the Beatles to Ed Sheeran. I also like to play some indie/Rock and Funk guitar.
I normally arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute live sets. But am happy to play a bit longer or shorter. These live sets can also be mixed with DJ sets depending on the event.
Yes I can play outside and have battery powered equipment to allow for this.
I can learn specific songs before the event for the ceremony if it's a Wedding. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.
Previous customers would describe me as playing high energy music that gets the audience on their feet dancing. It is an afternoon acoustic set then this is more laidback and low volume, ideal for afternoon wedding drinks receptions.
