Ben was a total legend! He played our joint 40th birthday lunch and got everyone singing along and up on their feet dancing. I’d recommend Ben to anyone looking for some great entertainment. He’s super professional to deal with and a really lovely guy to boot! Fay & Chris

Lewis played at our wedding during August 2019 and I could not recommend anyone more! From start to finish Lewis was an absolute delight - to how professional and friendly he was to his astonishing talent. His voice is amazing and he even took the time to learn our song which we found very touching. All our guests commented on how fantastic Lewis was and it really made our day special so can't thank you him enough. Wouldn't wait to book him for a future event!

Dan was extremely responsive and great to communicate with very step of the way for an important and special event. He even learned a song for us in a language he doesn't speak (Spanish) and played a great rendition of it! He is a talented musician and overall cool person. Grateful to have met him.

Singing Guitarist in UK: The Heart and Soul of a Live Acoustic Performance

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s talk about the unique magic that a live singing guitarist brings to an event, especially one with a relaxed, rustic, or countryside feel. It’s about so much more than the songs they play; it’s the entire warm and welcoming atmosphere they create.

They Create an Instant Welcome

The warm, natural sound of an acoustic guitar and a human voice is incredibly inviting. It’s the perfect sound to greet your guests as they arrive, immediately setting a relaxed, friendly, and informal tone for your entire celebration. It makes people feel instantly at ease.

It’s All About an Authentic Vibe

There’s a wonderful honesty to a solo acoustic performance. It’s not about flashy effects or big productions; it’s just pure, unadulterated talent. This down-to-earth, authentic feel is a perfect match for a relaxed, rustic event where the focus is on good company and a good time.

It’s a Personal and Intimate Experience

A solo performer creates a direct and intimate connection with the audience. Even at a larger wedding in a barn, the performance feels personal and exclusive to your event. It’s a shared experience that brings all your guests together.

It’s the Perfect Soundtrack for Socialising

One of the best things about an acoustic performance is that it’s engaging without being overpowering. It creates a beautiful musical backdrop that your guests will love, but it still allows for easy conversation and mingling. This is how you host a party that will be remembered for its wonderful, warm, and sociable atmosphere.

Finding Your Sound: A Guide to Acoustic Styles for Your UK Event

The most exciting part of the process is choosing the style of music that will perfectly complement your event’s theme. A great singing guitarist is a true chameleon, and they can tailor their setlist to create the exact mood you’re looking for.

The Folk & Country Style

The Vibe: Authentic, storytelling, rustic, and wonderfully warm. This style is rooted in the rich traditions of folk and country music and is perfect for creating a heartfelt, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Perfect For: A barn wedding, an outdoor festival-style event, a country-themed party, or any celebration with a relaxed, bohemian feel.

Plays: A brilliant mix of traditional folk songs, modern indie-folk anthems from artists like Mumford & Sons and The Lumineers, and timeless country classics from the likes of Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton. It’s music with real heart and soul.

This allows you to select any two songs for your event as well as a song that has been specially and carefully learned for you to enjoy. The total cost depends on the duration of the performance. The service price includes all sound equipment, set up, and sound check.
Will singing guitarists take my music preferences into account?
Yes, they will. Specific songs or playlist requests are welcome, though additional fees may apply. On request, background music between sets is also available. Pop, indie, soul & motown, and rock are some of the music genres that guitarists can perform. Summer Breeze by The Isley Brothers, You're All I Need To Get By by Marvin Gaye, Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, and Stand By Me are a few of the songs on the setlist.
