Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Ideal performance space from at least 2 meters x 1.5 meters. I require access to a 13 map power socket and a parking space.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know any directions that will help me find the right place to load in my equipment. Please confirm whether there is a sound limiter in the venue.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide all relevant sound equipment including PA etc. I do not have my own lighting.


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

Yes I am happy to play music from Spotify before, after and in between our sets. I am happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Favourite venue is the Ivy House pub near Amersham, Bucks. Always a great atmosphere and crowd. Favourite wedding venue was Manor Farm, Marsh Gibbon, Oxfordshire.


What's your favourite type of event?

I love playing all sorts of events though it's hard to beat a lovely music pub with a great receptive crowd.


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

I have gigged on and off since university which was a long time ago. I started gigging regularly again from 2018 onwards.


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

My favourite artist is Elvis Presley and the greatest song of all time is Heartbreak Hotel. My influences are many starting with the original rock and rollers like Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly. I also love the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart etc Their material always goes down well.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive one hour before the performance to set up but flexible on this. I normally play 2 x 60 minute sets but often play for longer such as 3 hours with a short break in the middle.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I am happy to play outside ideally in the shade. It is important to have easy access to 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?

The client is welcome to request up to 5 songs that will be included when possible if sufficient notice is given.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Great fun. So much variety and some songs you don't expect. I keep the crowd entertained throughout raising the tempo for singalongs and dancing later in the set.
