Hi my name’s Tom Favell.
I'm a self contained acoustic guitar vocalist and I've made a living as a performing musician for over ten years.
I can provide you with a night of uptempo and well known songs to get the whole dancefloor grooving, or instead I can also provide a chilled lounge set for the perfect ambience of your event.
I’m originally from Leicester but I’ve lived in Greater Manchester since 2007 when I moved up north to study music at Salford University. Since then I’ve been very active in the Manchester music scene, playing in a variety of function bands, originals bands and acoustic ensembles.
In the summers of 2015 and 2019 I spent several months as the resident guitar vocalist at Caldera Palace, a 5* Thomson resort in Crete. This was a big learning curve for me as it allowed me to improve my playing, having to perform up to four sets a night, six nights a week to a widely varied audience.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Thanks!
Tom Favell
Tom was great from start to finish. Great communication. Everyone loved the music. We had not decided on a first Dance till the night and he was able to accommodate the request with no issues. Thank you Tom. We will recommend and a number of people already asked how to book you ☺️
Great music.Thanks for a great night.
Would highly recommend Tom
Good communication & a great mix of music to keep everyone entertained. Highly recommended!
"Very good communication from the start. Excellent performance on the day. Really enthusiastic and engaged band. They kept my party going a treat. Their playlist is very contemporary and popular and they're happy to accommodate requests. Definitely a big thumbs up from me!!
Thanks Tom and the band!"
Tom was amazing and he kept in touch right the way up to the event. He is very talented and everyone loved the music, especially the Oasis songs!! He played all the requests we had and he really did make the night. Thank you so much Tom, everyone commented on how much they loved the music and how good you were. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tom again and recommend him to anyone looking for a singer and guitarist! My partner said when he was singing along to Oasis “So Sally can wait” it was the best night of his life! Thank you.
Tom is a very talented musician and we all enjoyed his music, it was perfect for our event.
Thomas was excellent, he was there before time he kept us informed by email and text on when he would arrive, what music we wanted, when he was setting out, his voice is wonderful and he is not noisy, I have had clubs and bars all my life and I would recommend him to anyone.
Tom played for us at my fathers 60th and was fantastic! He was very friendly and his music choice was just right for us! Highly recommended!
Over the years I have played all sorts of functions for a variety of different clients. These have included weddings, birthdays, wedding anniversaries, corporate functions, beer festivals, engagement parties, surprise birthday parties, restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping centres..!

I generally play 2 x 45 minute sets, but if you wanted longer sets or more than that can be arranged.
Yes I have my own full PA and lighting rig.
I have PLI through the MU and my equipment is regularly PAT tested.
Not a massive amount, maybe 3 m x 4 m.
Yes no problem at all! As long as you let me know in plenty of time I can learn a song for you.
If I play 2 x 45 minute sets, then ten to fifteen minutes between each set is fine.
