About / Biography

Bringing a touch of Spanish guitar to your wedding or event in Spain

Hola! I'm Simon. Originally from London, I've lived in Malaga, Spain for almost twenty years. Music is in my blood, having been lucky enough to have a Dad who was in a famous 60s pop band and who introduced me to an eclectic mix of music from a young age. From Motown, Jazz, RnB, Hip Hop, to Classical, Soul and Drum & Bass, I love and appreciate all music. As well as classical guitar, I also play the banjo, piano, ukulele and harmonica. But just for fun!

I travel all around Malaga and to Marbella, San Pedro, Estepona, Nerja, Seville and inland from Mijas, Alhaurin el Grande/ De La Torre and Coin for weddings and other social events.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I am lucky enough to perform at some of the most beautiful locations around Andalucia. Glamorous and opulent villas and hotels, as well as intimate spaces made special by the occasion and the audience.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love to play at all sorts of events, as long as I have my guitar and people to play for, I am in my element! But weddings are my favourite. Joyous days and a chance to be part of the most special moments in people’s lives.


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

Being from a musical family (my Dad was a pop star in the 1960s!), playing instruments has been a part of my life from childhood. From piano lessons at a young age and learning my first guitar chords when I was smaller than the actual guitar itself, to professional Classical and Spanish Guitarist, via bluegrass banjo and blues harmonica. A life in music that I’m forever grateful for.


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

I have been influenced and am continually inspired by anyone from Bach and Beethoven to Michael Jackson and The Beatles. Anyone who composes, sings, plays or performs has my infinite admiration. My eclectic playlist is a testament to this, with Spanish classics like Romanza sometimes featuring in the same set as Here Comes The Sun or Human Nature!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I arrive one hour before the scheduled performance and can play for up to three or four hours with natural breaks.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes. As long as there is a little shade for the hot Spanish summers.


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

All my package prices include one song/piece request that I will learn especially for your event. Any additional song requests are 50 to 100 euros each (depending on the complexity).


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Romantic, helping to set a relaxed ambience and a an air of class.
