jazz guitar.
I provide live guitar playing for events such as:
Wedding Ceremonies
Drinks Receptions
Wedding Breakfasts
Corporate and Regimental Dinners
Charity Balls
Civic Receptions
Galleries and Exhibitions
Restaurants, Bars and Cafes
...or any event where professionally prepared and performed
guitar music is required.
Some FAQs:
What styles of guitar music
can you provide?
I have an extensive repertoire of Classical, Jazz,
Popular and Folk pieces so can accomodate most tastes. I'm
always adding to my repertoire so if there's a specific
style you'd like (Spanish, Blues, Celtic etc) please don't
hesitate to ask.
Do you accept requests for
specific pieces?
Yes. Wedding clients especially like to choose pieces for
the Processional, Signing of the Register and the
Recessional. If the requested piece isn't already
in my repertoire I'll either seek out sheet music or write
my own arrangement for it. Please allow at least six weeks
preparation time before your event for request pieces.
Very occasionally a chosen piece might not be suitable for
the guitar in which case I'll let you know within a few days
of receiving the request so an alternative can be chosen.
Will the guitar be loud enough? Or too loud?
Played acoustically, the guitar is a fairly quiet instrument
so there's no danger of it being too loud in smaller, more
intimate settings. For larger spaces requiring extra volume
I use an amplifier that is more than adequate for typical
function venues and can be adjusted to your preferred level.
What are your requirements on the day?
A performance area approximately two metres by two metres.
A chair (armless, such as a dining chair).
If the guitar is to be amplified, a power point within six
metres of the performance area.
Access to the venue at least forty-five minutes before
performing.
Space to park and unload close to where I'll
be performing. I'll re-park once unloaded if required.
Do get in touch as early as possible if there are issues
with any of the requirements above. I'm happy to work around
any problems to help your event run smoothly.
