Scott was amazing and provided the exact atmosphere that we wanted. We hosted a suprise party for my father`s 75th birthday. We gave Scott quite a specific brief in relation to song type and genre and he delivered a fabulous performance. Scott also judged the guests and ensured that they all heard something that they enjoyed. Scott has an wonderful voice and plays guitar beatifully. Other points to raise - Scott remained in contact with me prior to the event. He was punctual, polite and approachable on the day. He interacted with all the guests and made the day even more special by being there. We can`t recommend him enough, in fact we plan to book Scott for our daughter`s upcoming birthday. Anyone who books him won`t be disappointed!! Top marks and cheers Scott x

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.

How long is a guitarist set?

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.
