I am a singer/guitarist from East London. I work all over the country with my function/party band, and also I do solo work all over the South East and beyond, playing live electric guitar with vocals over backing tracks.

I have worked with tons of people including Take That, Tom Jones and Billy Ray Cyrus, played at the biggest venues in the country (Wembley Arena, NEC Birmingham, Sheffield Arena, Brixton Academy etc) and have done a couple of West End shows including Elvis The Musical (as a guitar player ...not as Elvis!)

I have worked solo in many pub venues all over the place plus many functions and parties, playing anything from background jazz (Satin Doll¹, Georgia etc) to classic soul and pop (Superstition, Brown Sugar etc) to more current material (Amy Winehouse,The Kaiser Chiefs, Kings of Leon)

I normally do 3 x 50 minutes sets of music during an evening. Depending on the evening, it can be purely background - say, early in the evening or a sunday afternoon or for a bigger party, it can be more interactive¹ (ie louder and funkier!).

On a function such as a wedding, anniversary or birthday, I provide background music in between sets on an iPod playlist, to keep the atmosphere going - classic motown, indie-dance, R&B, whatever is suitable - so no need for a DJ. I keep the party going until the last minute....in fact its very hard to get me off if its going well!!

I bring all my own gear - p.a. system, amplifiers, guitars, backing tracks etc - and it doesn¹t have to be too loud...just loud enough!'

"Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you - it's been a bit hectic at our end. Thank you for coming out to West Sussex to play on Saturday night. The music was fantastic and pitched at our guests perfectly. I've had a number of comments from people who said that you made it a great evening and it wouldn't have been the same with a different guitarist - I wholeheartedly agree."

"During the summer we were lucky enough to have Mark play at my mum's 60th birthday bash. Mark was absolutely fantastic! He was perfectly professional throughout and so friendly and funny. He played a really good mix of my mum's favourite music (60's tracks) and other tracks too. He responded really well to the crowd and had everyone up and dancing - from the 3 year old to the 80 year olds, and all in between! We enjoyed it so much that we ended up asking him if he could stay a couple of hours longer but he sadly had another gig to go to! I know that a lot of the guests were keen to see if Mark was free to play at their upcoming summer parties… he was such a hit with everyone - I've never had so many people ask me "where did you find him?!!". I would thoroughly recommend Mark whatever your occasion. I know that I'll be contacting him again next time we have a do! Thanks so much again Mark for making my mum's birthday so special! "

"I just wanted to write to let you know how wonderful Mark was at my fathers 50th last night! He played all of my fathers favourites perfectly and we loved every minute of it! I hope he managed to enjoy himself as well! Thank you so much and will definitely be in touch next time we need a musician...it's my mothers 50th next year so will keep you posted! Take care and thanks again, Miranda xx "

"Mark was excellent; we left him to decide what to play and when and he judged it perfectly, keeping a low profile to begin with while people mingled and chatted then gradually stepping up the pace. When he was in full swing the everyone was up dancing and singing and it was an absolute riot. Most of our guests came to us and asked how we found him and said how the thoroughly enjoyed the music. Some said best party ever - we were absolutely thrilled and enjoyed ourselves tremendously."
