Tim Landells Warm acoustic covers with rich vocals, live looping guitar, and percussion

I require a flat, sheltered performance area of approximately 2m x 2m, with access to one standard power outlet nearby. I bring my own sound equipment and only need a small amount of space for setup. For outdoor performances, adequate protection from rain and direct weather exposure is required.

I'd love to know where I'll be performing, access and parking arrangements for loading equipment, and whether power is available nearby. Please also let me know about any noise restrictions, sound limiters or specific venue requirements.

Yes, I provide my own professional sound equipment, including an EV Evolve 50 PA system, mixer, microphones and instruments. I'm fully self-contained for audio and suitable for indoor and outdoor performances. Lighting is not included.

Yes, I'm happy to provide background music through my PA system before, between and after my live sets. I can curate a playlist to suit the atmosphere or play a playlist provided by the client.

One of my favourite gigs was performing at a community festival in Torquay, working alongside Farm My School. It was a great atmosphere with a really engaged crowd, and I loved being part of an event that brought the local community together.

I love playing weddings, private functions and outdoor events where I can help create a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere. That said, I'm just as comfortable playing a lively pub gig! I pride myself on being a versatile performer, whether that's providing laid-back background music or getting a crowd singing along to familiar favourites. I enjoy reading the room and tailoring my set to suit the occasion.

I've been performing live for around seven years, starting out busking and playing open mic nights before moving into regular paid gigs, private functions and events. Over the years I've developed my own acoustic style, combining guitar, vocals and live looping to create a fuller sound as a solo performer.

I've always been drawn to blues, rock and acoustic music, particularly artists like Eric Clapton and John Mayer. Clapton would have to be my all-time favourite. His guitar playing and songwriting have been a huge influence on my own style. As for the greatest song of all time, I'd have to go with Layla. That guitar riff is hard to beat!

Yes! Alongside performing covers, I'm also a singer-songwriter releasing original music under the name Blue Poppy. My original music draws on indie rock, folk and acoustic influences. For private events and functions, I generally focus on familiar covers but am always happy to incorporate originals where appropriate.

I typically arrive 45–60 minutes before a performance to set up and soundcheck. I'm flexible with performance times, but generally offer three options:

- **1-hour booking:** 1 x 60-minute set
- **2-hour booking:** 2 x 45-minute sets
- **3-hour booking:** 3 x 45-minute sets

I'm always happy to tailor the timing and breaks to suit the event.

Absolutely! I love performing outdoors. All I need is a flat, sheltered performance area with access to power nearby. My equipment needs to be protected from rain and direct weather exposure.

Definitely! I have a diverse repertoire covering acoustic classics, rock, pop and crowd favourites. Clients are welcome to request songs from my repertoire or leave the music selection to me. I'm also happy to discuss learning a special song for an occasion, particularly for weddings.

I'd describe my performances as warm, engaging and versatile, with rich vocals, acoustic guitar and live looping creating a full sound. I aim to strike the right balance between relaxed background music and energetic, crowd-engaging performances, depending on the atmosphere.

Absolutely! I'm happy to work with you to create a setlist that suits your event. You can choose favourites from my repertoire, and I'm also open to learning a special song for weddings or other occasions with enough notice.
