I require an avarage wide performance space, I have my own equipment such as mics but depending on the sort of gig , I would require an amp to connect with mics and a good system feedback on echo , treble and bass blendsin terms of sound. On Avarage gigs , such as outside plays , I bring my own equipment. On guitar it's the same.
I would require the full details of the location of the Event and the Theme set up if applicable. I'd need to know if there is a right place to load my equipment and also be informed of any sound related equipment available at the venue.
No , not yet , but I am working on it
Yes it surely is a lovely thing to do.
The Best gig ... Was in Houtbay villa , I had the opportunity to perform with Qwasi Slymer Francis , a rising international artist in which was a joy full of motivation and lessons. I don't have one best Gig , I have had a gig in Camps bay when the stage was on the top and I could see the sea and mountains and the audience was down there dancing near the pool and I felt I'm on top of the world.
All sorts of events , as long as my clients are happy, I am very happy to be able to travel and play everywhere I get noticed.
I started gigging on a Club in Woodstock ( Casablanca Bar ) and from there I attended open mics every Thursday up until I got gig and bookings,and that's where it all began
Bill withers - Sunshine for me is the greatest song of his , his contrasting jazz style and the highlight in his music soothes the tastes in my ear drums. Frank Sinatra Iconic legend with songs such as Killing me softly, fly me to the moon. Tom Jones one of the artist I admire the most as well, with beautiful rendition such as I'll never fall in love, Dilailah etc.
I arrive an hour or 30 minutes before the performance setup. There is no limit to how long I can play because I'm sort of a practice geek , sometimes I do love to test out the results of my constant practice that never actually show until certain transitions. But my sets usually 2x 45 minutes, 30 minutes, 4x 45 minutes with breaks inbetween
I have played outside quite a number of times before but on some occasions I do ask for a shade like a small tent or my favourite long umbrellas, they hit the spot!.
The clients can request songs but that must be before the even so I can include them in my set, sometimes I don't prepare sets , I go and become a musician by reading my audience, playing what would suit the mood better
The phrasing I never get tired of is " Beautiful performance"
