Hi, I'm Gareth
I'm a covers musician based out of Shoreditch, Central London.
I've been playing guitar since my teens and have been performing as a singer/guitarist for approximately 4 years now. I have regularly gigged in pubs, bars, and other venues over the last 6 years, as well as being popular on the wedding scene.
I play an incredibly large portfolio of covers of all genres, but my passion is for the really cheesy pop that people just can't help but singalong to; we're talking 80's, 90's, and early 00's classics! *Requests are more than welcome*
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, then please get in contact.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Gareth was booked for our Jubilee street party celebration.
He was easy to communicate with prior to the event. He arrived in good time, set up was easy.
We had 2 x 50min sessions and he was great. He allowed people up on the stage with him to sing. He really got the party going in a chilled Saturday afternoon way. Everyone enjoyed it he was easy going and pleasant to deal with.
Thanks Gareth! See you next time!
Absolutely Brilliant, first New Years Eve in my business and didn’t know what to expect. Gareth’s range of songs, understanding of the crowd and there needs made the night. Highly recommended will book again
"Gareth was amazing at our school fair.
His voice and music created a fantastic atmosphere. Lovely guy highly recommended!"
Gareth has performed at two events at a professional music venue the frog and fiddle. As well as being an excellent muscian he is an excellent performer and brings a lot of energy to the stage. Look forward to him playing the next one
I approached Gareth in Cheltenham when I heard his voice outside Cavendish House.. He was so good I asked him if he could play at my wedding (which was on Saturday!). My guests LOVED him, Gareth played whilst my Champagne and canapés were being served... The atmosphere was fantastic, everyone felt relaxed as if they were on holiday! If you are getting married, Gareth is the man you need to wow your guests! Thank you so much Gareth you were awesome xx

Maximum of 3 Hours if consecutively.
I provide my own fully functioning PA. I do not provide lighting.
At least a 3m x 3m space.
Absolutely! I love performing peoples requests so as long as I am given at least a week's notice, and the song in question is able to be 'acoustified', I am more than happy to accommodate.
A minimum of a 10min break for each hour.
The covers I perform excel in getting people on their feet and singing along.
However, I do also perform a long list of chilled acoustic covers that are perfect for creating a relaxed environment. Covers that are great for events such as wedding receptions or cocktail parties.
The following list as an example of songs I perform fairly regularly but there is many more and if you would like a specific song/s for your event I am more than happy to accommodate given some notice.
