About / Biography

Hello there! If you need live entertainment in the form of a singer or a band / group at your party , concert, wedding, reception, corporate event, dinner, dance or pub please contact me now to avoid disappointment! I would probably play anywhere given sufficient notice! I live in Leatherhead, Surrey. I am local to Sutton, Cheam, Kingston, Epsom, Ewell, Guildford, Reigate and Redhill. I am very close to the M25. This means I am well placed to play at your function in Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire or London. I have been playing as a musician and singer since I was seven and in bands and playing solo not so long after that. I am now mainly playing standard covers solo or as a duo using great acoustic and electric backing tracks and equipment which enables one to get pretty close to the original sounds made by the original bands or performers! The songs I play as a one man band and singer range from the fifties through to today's twenties though the majority are from just before the middle of that period centred on the sixties, seventies and eitghties. The sample repertoire provided is just an illustration and if there are some particular tracks you would like to hear at your function just ask! I usually perform for between two to three hours but understand that playing needs to fit in with your event and your schedule. I can play a number of instrumental tracks which is often useful at the start of functions or during meals. There are plenty of dance tunes to make your party go with a swing and some slower numbers for later on. Suitable recorded background music or disco can also be provided upon request. So, if you need a singer, musician, guitarist who sounds like a whole band / group and/or a disco I am you man! Particularly so if you live in Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, Hampshire, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire or London. I would probably travel anywhere within reason so do ask me even if you live in John O' Groats. Nearer to home,if you wish to offer me a residency in Leatherhead, Guildford, Epsom, Kingston or Sutton I may well accept. If you would prefer a duo please let me know; I also work with Millie Kinnock,Tania Swain and John Thomes each of whom brings a special extra dimension to my act. Discos are hosted by Falon Reid. You may wish to have a whole set dedicated to a particualr group / artist or genre such as Bowie, Bolan, Oasis, Steely Dan or Motown. Just ask!

I love, and play, lots of Bolan, Bowie, Steely Dan, Motown and some Greg Lake.
You tell me your greatest song of all time and I will provide it if I can find a backing track in the right key!

I started "gigging" at age three singing the best song from Pinocchio - I've got no strings.

My vintage, trusty vetta amp privedes almost unlimited voicings.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

If you are a singer or part of a band you know that the show must go on when the piper calls the tune! I am therefore happy to play at any time and if your party, concert, wedding, reception, corporate event, dinner, dance or pub session is planned or decides for itself to go on late I will be happy to keep going (extra fees may be incurred!) especially if near my home in Leatherhead Surrey near the M25 with easy access to Sussex, Hampshire,Kent,Essex,Hertfordshire, and London. Similarly if local to Sutton, Cheam, Kingston, Epsom, Ewell, Guildford, Reigate and Redhill.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I have performed outside on many occasions and it is great provided there is cover for all weathers and the neighbours are happy (enough)!


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

He or she who pays the piper calls the tune.
Pick what you would like from my extensive repertoire and tell me of any special requests - the last one received was It's a Man's World by James Brown.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Please see my reviews in addition to which there have been a few hugs and firm handshakes when hosts have been particularly pleased.
