If there is a sound limiter in the venue - particularly important for the percussion!
I provided LED's for the drums at an additional cost
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music - this would be at an additional cost negotiated at time of booking.
I've performed with Hans Zimmer at Hammersmith Apollo, alongside Johnny Marr and Pharrell Williams.
I love playing at all kinds of events - the best ones are when everyone is on the dance floor, having a great time and enjoying the music.
What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?
I began my career as a touring musician when I moved to London and joined a percussion theatre touring group - since then I have been a touring musician for many years across the UK, Europe and USA. Playing grassroots venues to arenas, playing live for artists including Hans Zimmer, Charli XCX and Orla Gartland. Appearing on a range of TV shows including X-Factor, The ITV Awards, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
In between tours I play at events across London, the UK and beyond in clubs, weddings and private parties.
Anything with a good groove and a good melody!
Yes - provided there is a flat surface, power supply and shade from the elements in the case of severe weather conditions.
