About / Biography

Based in Surrey, I am a professional musician with over 25 years' experience performing at weddings and private events. My repertoire spans over four centuries of music covering Renaissance, traditional, Baroque, Spanish, Celtic and contemporary classical, performed mainly on 10-string classical guitar. I tailor my repertoire to suit individual preferences and am always happy to offer assistance and advice in selecting the perfect music for the occasion. My repertoire is perfectly suited to wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate events, banquets, house concerts, restaurants and hotels. Basically, anywhere where a traditional, relaxed musical atmosphere is required. It's worth noting that I generally don't cover modern pop, rock and jazz styles..

An extensive repertoire means that I can play for up to 4 hours without repetition, creating a beautiful, sensitive and balanced musical ambience.

Recent clients include Surrey Police, RBS and Oxford University. I have performed at many of the top London hotels and wedding venues including The Dorchester, The Langham, Mandarin Oriental, The Hilton Group, The Four Seasons Group, The Ashmolean Museum, The Great Eastern and The Commonwealth Club, as well as venues throughout the south including The Lainston, Hampton Court, Pennyhill Park, Goodwood, Runnymede, Farnham Castle, Wiston House, Windsor Guildhall, Nymans, Lulworth Castle, Brighton Pavilion, Loseley House, Orleans House, Oxford Botanic Gardens, Cain Manor, Northbrook Park, Ramster Hall, Fitzleroi Barn and Rivervale Barn.

Please get in touch and I will be happy to discuss your requirements.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

A chair without arms and the occasional cup of coffee!
Classical guitar is surprisingly quiet, so I usually use amplification to gently lift the sound. When mains power isn't available, such as outdoor ceremonies, I have battery powered equipment.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Setup: 30 minutes
Performance: From 1 hour to 3.5 hours
(£170 minimum for a 1 hour booking e.g. a wedding ceremony)
