Description
Hi there. I'm a full time professional solo acoustic musician with over 14 years experience. My set list spans six decades, from the 1950s to the present day and I'm always happy to add two or three bespoke songs as long as prior notice is received. I can also take requests at a performance (within reason!) and am happy to be the main event, the background music or something in between.
