Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Not too difficult as I am a solo guitarist. An all-acoustic contract requires a 3 x 3 space with a chair. A full sound set-up is just a few more feet of space with an electrical outlet close by as well as a chair.


What information do you require about a venue?

The name and address, the person of contact such as the event director, the loading and unloading areas.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes the sound is all included but I do not provide lights of any kind.


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

Yes, bumper music is always included between sets.


Is there anything that you require of the venue?

Yes, one chair with no arms.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I have done many types of gigs from home settings to corporate functions taking place at commercial locations.


What's your favourite type of event?

I have no "favorite" type of event. I like to work and that is good enough for me.


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

I have been playing for most of my life and started off in local restaurants.


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

I really like Al Dimeola and have no greatest song of all time as there are much too many to actually pick one song.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

My set-up process takes from 15-45 minutes depending on complexity of the location and walking distance. The typical gig usually lasts for 3 hours.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I perform outside although if it is a spot directly in the sun, then a shade of some sort will be required.


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

For wedding ceremonies the client may customize their song selection to reflect their personal lives. For all other gigs, I have a set play list that will be used. Please refer to the song selection list provided for reference.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

It sets the right mood, not too loud, not too quiet.


What is preferred payment method?
