Description
I am a Bristol based Jazz Guitarist and band leader. I perform in lineups ranging from solo, duo with singers or instrumentalists through to larger ensembles.
I am able to put together bespoke lineups to suit any event as well performing with my female fronted vocal jazz functions band.
I have an extensive repertoire ranging from 1920s Trad-Jazz through to contemporary Jazz and Bossa Nova, a non-exhaustive list is included below. I am happy to work with clients to create set-lists to suit any event and can learn small amounts of additional repertoire at clients requests.
When performing solo or in duo I am able to perform outside using battery powered amplification, perfect for summer weddings.
