Ade Onayiga I am a vocalist and nylon string guitarist

For venues that provide in-house PA, I would require:
- a microphone stand
- 2x 13 amp power sockets to connect my 2-channel preamp
- an extension lead (depending on available performance space)
- a stool/chair

I'd need to know if the venue has an in-house PA system.

Yes (sound equipment only, which will be reflected in my fee), specifically:
- a 2-channel preamp/mixer to connect my guitar and microphone
- a 2000 watt powered PA speaker (QSC K8.2) with stand

Yes - I can provide a basic DJ service (either before or/and between my performance set) playing
selections from a set list from my personal music collection of jazz, easy listening, classic pop/rock
and R&B/soul tunes.

Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush, London. I was the support act for renowned UK R&B/Soul recording artist, Omar.

Wedding receptions.

I started performing with various bands whilst at university. I later started doing solo gigs
and have performed at many private and corporate function events over the years in the
UK and Europe.

I have rather eclectic tastes in music, as there is great music from artists of all music genres. Too many favourite artists, but:
From pop, easy listening: Michael Jackson, The Carpenters, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel,
Michel Legrand, Chaka Khan, Burt Bacarach, Barbara Streisand, Joni Mitchell, Shirley Bassey, Steely Dan
From jazz and latin: Miles Davis, Toots Thielemanns (the harmonica player featured on the Sesame Street TV show),
Nat 'King' Cole, Nina Simone, Shirley Horn, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Tony Bennett, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny,
Lyle Mays, George Duke, Flora Purim, Sarah Vaughan, Al Jarreau, Bob James, Earl Klugh, Toninho Horta.
From flamenco: Paco de Lucia, Moraito Chico, Tomatito.

There are so many great songs, but one of my favourites is "We Have All The Time In The World", by Louis Armstrong (written by
composer John Barry and lyricist Hal David).

I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 50 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets.
I'm happy to play a bit longer if necessary.

Yes - I am happy to play outside, but I ask for shade (i.e. a canopy tent or similar), a flat level surface
and a power supply close to the performance area.

It takes time and effort to learn unfamiliar songs that are not on my repertoire list, however, I am
willing to accommodate client's song requests (limited to 3 songs) if given prior notice.

I can provide a full repertoire set list on request.

Previous customers have described my performances as mellow, pleasantly unobtrusive, with an ability to
provide interesting interpretations of timeless, classic tunes.
