WHAT I PLAY
Music for all ages and a range of styles
But my first love is indie and folk music. Look at the sample playlist at the side.
Here’s a non exhaustive list of songs I sing.
FAQ
Probably. Just let me know. I’ll either know them, should know them or learn them
Yes. Contractually I can learn one song for free but I’ve never charged anyone for learning more than one. That’s because most of the time I either a) know the song but it’s not on this list b) find it easy and quick to learn the song or c) should already know it but don’t so it’s good for me to learn it.
As long as it’s in my vocal and musical abilities and isn’t grossly offensive then I’ll play it.
I love having guests join me for musical numbers. As long as my equipment remains in tact and they don’t spill their Pink Gin on anything then yes.
Not generally. You will let me know a few you like and you’ll tell me your song for walking down the aisle and your first dance. Beyond that I prefer to have the flexibility to use my years of experience to choose songs based on the atmosphere and how the day is developing.
