Solo Singer
What I Do
I perform as a solo singer and guitarist a wide selection of songs and take audience requests for parties, weddings and public events.
Sometimes ‘one guy and a guitar’ can get a bit boring over a long period of time for an evening party, in my opinion, so to add variety and spice, I make use of a bass drum for percussion, beatboxing, looping (like Ed Sheeran does), bass guitar on the lowest strings of my guitar to tie it all together and make it sound like a one-man-band. All of this whilst playing guitar and singing at the same time.
Think along the lines of Dick Van Dyke with a newer haircut.
I can perform for you instrumental to set the mood for dinner, drinks canapes or walking down the aisle or with singing as well to get the party started and everyone up dancing. Turn a great night into an unforgettable one!
Equipment
Fully self-sufficient. 10 Million Pounds liability insurance, high-quality PA (with subs if required for larger venues) and a lighting rig to create the atmosphere.
