My name is Nick Breakspear and music is my absolute passion, in fact it's my life. I'm so lucky to share this love of music with others through performing and teaching.

I play guitar and sing hits from the 1950s to the present day. So if you want The Killers for your 40th or The Beatles for your Dad's 60th, then I've got in covered.

I am available solo, as part of a duo or also in full band set up (see videos for this). I can play at your wedding ceremony, drinks reception, evening reception, birthday party, anniversary and in your pub or your venue.

I can also supply a laptop DJ set (using Spotify) for when I am not playing and for up to an hour after I have played. There is an extra cost for this service.

"I enjoyed the whole evening a great deal and you made it even better, you were superb, exactly what I wanted. Everyone has commented on what a fabulous job you did.
