Hire Guitarist in Southampton

Hello I am a singing guitarist with a lively acoustic set of old and new pop, soul, rock, jazz and folk songs, including older artists like The Beatles, Queen, The Proclaimers and Oasis, all the way through to more modern musicians such as Meghan Trainor, Ed Sheeran and Mumford and Sons. I've been working as a professional musician for over ten years. In that time I have played with artists from all over the world, performed on the radio and played hundreds of weddings, parties, festivals and corporate events. Previous clients include Tough Mudder, TK Maxx, Emerson Electric and The Labour Party Conference. The video linked below is a compilation of various live and studio recorded songs covering the various different styles I can provide. Full length videos and recordings are available on my profile page. Of course what really matters to you is whether I’m any good on the day. Here are some quotes from a few clients who were lovely enough to leave me some very nice reviews (more available on my profile). “Martin was outstanding! He played a great set that had everyone up dancing from start to finish!” – Dan. W "We absolutely loved Martin, our wedding guests were blown away with his performance... Our guests had a fab time and were thoroughly entertained… Thank you for making our day perfect!"- Linda. M "He sang and played beautifully and even went to the trouble of learning a song that was special to us all." - Ali P As well as the music I will perform I am also happy to provide a free laptop DJ service in between my sets. This way, even if I'm taking a break, there will always be some form of music to entertain your guests. I only require 45 minutes to set up and two plug sockets. I have my own PA and lights, so I am entirely self-contained. All you need to do is find me a place to stand and I'll do the rest! Included in the quote is… 2 x 1 hours of live music. Laptop DJ service in between sets. 6 hours on site from arrival until the last song. All lights and PA system provided. One song learnt by request. Whilst these outline my ‘standard’ event terms that suit most events, I’m always happy to work with people to accommodate their requests and the specific details and timings of the event. Let me know more about your day and I’ll be happy to do whatever I can to make your vision work. Thank You. Martin.

Half an hour of solo guitar music. Especially ideal for marriage proposals and flash mobs! Tomas Ferreira is a London based classical guitarist specialising in performing guitar at weddings, corporate functions and other such celebratory events. With a very large and diverse repertoire selection, drawing principally from classical, jazz and popular music, his warm guitar playing is suitable to a great many number of different events. Everything in the act is fully self-contained. Tomas brings to each engagement his own amplification system which not only allows his guitar to be heard in the presence of up to two hundred and fifty people, but also gives the options for both indoor and outdoor performances. In terms of logistical practicalities, booking Tomas is of the least stressful musical acts money can buy. Setting up takes only fifteen minutes and all that clients are required to provide is a two by two meter space, an armless chair or stool and a plug socket within ten meters of the performance space. Outdoor performances require any necessary extra extension cabling and a generator if needed. With a large and varied repertoire, Tomas gives clients a great deal of options and allows them to customise an ideal set list if they so wish. Special requests can be made, allowing clients to potentially have their favourite tune played at their event, if it is not already in the repertoire. Tomas has previously been booked for Spanish and Latin American themed events and at those, he has put together his combined skills at playing Spanish guitar music and arranging new tunes for the guitar to perform freshly remoulded covers of evergreen songs.
