Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have performed at the Hungarian National Concert Hall, on Ireland’s national television network RTÉ, as well as at several national music festivals and corporate events for ambassadors and prime ministers, consistently receiving outstanding feedback from both organizers and audiences.


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing at all kinds of events, but theater concerts and private events are our favorites! The audience is always happy and engaging, either when I perform solo or with band.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I began gigging while attending Berklee College of Music, and my performances grew from there. Since then, I have performed at hundreds of weddings, parties, and events across Europe and beyond.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

have been influenced by the music of Carlos Santana, Paco de Lucía, Andrés Segovia, Pat Metheny, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, and Tom Waits. Some of my favorite songs of all time are ‘Yesterday’ by the Beatles, ‘The Heart of Saturday Night’ by Tom Waits, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by Queen, and ‘Mediterranean Sundance’ by Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucía.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. I usually perform 2 sets of either 45 or 60 minutes. I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter, but I’ve found that these set times work best for both me and my audiences.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm happy to play outside, but I ask for shade, a flat, level surface, and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous customers would describe the solo performances as classy and memorable, and the band performances as a high energy group that loves to get the audience on their feet dancing.
