Do I, the client, need to provide anything for you?
I require either a chair without arms or a stool to sit on. I also require a safe area to park and place to store my instrument case and valuables whilst I am performing.
Do you play to backing track?
No, all performances are always fully live.
Will a solo guitar be loud enough?
Yes it will, as I use a microphone and a PA speaker to project the sound and I have a great deal of control from a digital perspective on how to get the best sound for the best venue.
Can you play outdoors?
Yes, but weather permitting and only if the infrastructure is in place that I can power my PA system so that my guitar is audible.
Do you sing?
How many breaks do you take? How long are they?
I take a break after every forty-five minute set. A break will not last longer than fifteen minutes.
How long do you play for?
A typical performance is two forty-five minute set lists. The longest I will play for on a gig is three forty-five minute sets. The shortest is one forty-five minute or just a wedding ceremony by itself.
My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?
Provided it can be suitably arranged for solo guitar, then yes! If you give me more than a month's notice, there is an additional fee of £15 per tune for me to learn it, and with less than a month, it's £30.
Please note that it's very unlikely I will do requests on the day if they haven't been agreed upon beforehand.
How much space do you require?
I require a space of a minimum two by two meters in size. I also need to be within ten meters of a plug socket or else you will need to provide some extra extension leads.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?
Yes and yes. I am member of the Musician's Union who cover me for £10m and also I keep all my electrical equipment in a sound working order.
Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?
Do you have your own PA and lighting?
I have my own PA but not lighting.
How long do you play for?
A typical performance is two forty-five minute set lists, with a break of around ten to fifteen minutes in between these. The longest I will play for on a gig is three forty-five minute sets.
