My prices include VAT. I charge for travel using the following method: The total return journey distance in miles minus 10 (as you get that for free). That number as a percentage of 360 (the range in miles of my car on one fuel tank) and then whatever that percetage is, I work out that same percentage of 56 (as this is the approximate price to fill my car up). Example: Return journey is 100 miles. Minus the 10 free miles, 90/360 = 0.25 x 100 = 25%. £56/100 x 25 = £14. A return journey by car longer than 7 hours total means I need to put an overnight stop in and I will add the charge of a BnB/Airbnb to the quote. A booking that requires me to go by plane or train, the client pays me that total cost in full in addition to the performance fee.

About / Biography

He is frequently booked to play at events including wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions and corporate events. In recent times he has performed for events at Harrods, Fortnum and Mason, Marylebone Town Hall and the Portuguese Embassy in London amongst many others.

By booking Kieran, you will be getting high-quality guitar music that will softly resonate around your event space, adding a touch of class and sense of occasion. Guests at your event will appreciate the music as it softly states familiar melodies to their ears. Sometimes it will create a swirl of different colours that will relax them whilst other times it will get their toes tapping. Other times still it may just remind them of a good holiday they once went on!

Kieran is a very versatile performer, able to perform amplified or fully acoustically. He can perform indoors and outdoors to anywhere up to 100 people. A typical length of time to book him for his ninety minutes, split into two halves with a short break in the middle. The shortest he does is thirty minutes and the longest is three forty-five minute sets. He is able to accommodate requests if the tune can be suitably arranged for solo guitar performance.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need an armless chair or stool and to be within 55m of a power source. I need a space of minimum 2x2m.


What information do you require about a venue?

We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. Is there also parking at the venue?


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I bring sound but not lighting.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes.


Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes.

All I require from my clients is a space that is two by two meters minimum, a chair (must be without arms) or stool and to be within ten meters of a plug socket. If you are wishing for me to perform outdoors and the nearest plug socket is more than ten meters away I will need you to provide a long extension cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Royal Festival Hall with Marc Almond.


What's your favourite type of event?

A wedding ceremony.


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

I have played various types of guitar all my life. Gigging just came about naturally from that during my teenage years. It became my fulll time occupation upon graduating from conservatoire in 2016.


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

Most influenced: J.S. Bach, Favourite Artist (currently), Queen, Greatest Song. Dancing Queen.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

For an acoustic performance, it can be as little as 5 minutes.

For anything involving electricity, I recommend minimum 15 minutes.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. There has to be a plan B for if it's raining. Unless there is a great deal of roof cover when playing outdoors (i.e. a marquee or gazebo).


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

We 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 our repertoire or let us choose the music for them


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Adds a nice charm to the event. Is unobtrusive and musically very varied.


What if my timings change after I've booked you?

This is normally not a problem and I will try to be as flexible as possible. If you are aware of a change to your timings, please do let me know as soon as possible though.
