1 Parking Space, Small space for my speaker and stand and a power socket for my extension cable.

Just the address.

I bring my own PA speaker but no lighting.

Yes 100%

I’m quite new to performing, but have done college gigs in Limerick and performed most recently at The Oar Bar in Crosshaven during Sailing Week, we had a ball!

I definitely prefer a crowd that is up for a sing-song. No better feeling than the crowd returning your energy as you know they are enjoying it!

I started gigging very recently, as I am only 19. But I grew up playing guitar with my dad and did plenty of musical theatre growing up.

My favourite artist of all time is Olly Murs, his cheekiness and upbeat songs resonate with my personality. But in recent times I love Zach Bryan and Kingfishr mostly.

I arrive an hour before my set to troubleshoot any problems, my gear doesn’t take long to set up at all. I perform for 2-3 hours. A 5-10 minute break for a 2 hour set and 2x10 minute breaks for a three hour set. Again the timing of a gig isn’t very important, it’s up to the booker!

Yep. My gear all sets up as easy outside or inside. All I’d need is a power supply nearby.

Clients can definitely ask for songs. I’m happy to take live requests if I know how the song goes, there’s normally no problem figuring it out quickly live. Clients can also request specific songs but I’d ask around 3 songs maximum to give myself time to perfect those 3.

Energetic, upbeat and fun. I have a very wide setlist so I know exactly what crowds want and need and adjust my performance accordingly.
