About Me
I am an experienced vocalist - guitarist and DJ. I offer a unique solo act backed by amazing backing tracks which have a fresh, live feel and a high energy disco.
I'm versed in all styles of music from 60's classics to current pop hits. I have been playing and performing for over 30 years in bands, duos and as a solo artist. I have played hundreds of shows in last couple of years since moving to Devon. I pride myself on having a set to please all tastes.
My set comprises more than 200 songs from such legendary artistes as Abba, The Beach Boys, Crowded House, The Eagles, The Beatles, The Stones, Small Faces, The Who, Eric Clapton, ELO, James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Chuck Berry, Neil Diamond, The Monkees, Elton John and many more.
I will tailor my performance to suit the mood of your occasion and will consider any requests for material not already on my set list. I also offer an acoustic "unplugged" set.
In addition to my career as a performer, I am available as a vocal coach and session musician.

As im often asked what make my acoustic guitar is......................
My main guitar which i use for most of the set is a DAION Heritage 79.
Made in japan, i bought it from Hammonds in Watford.It,s fitted with a Jim Dunlop bridge transducer and mini Mic which reproduces its rich tone.I run my guitars through a DIGITECH RP50 guitar effects unit. For the more rockin numbers i use my GIBSON Les Paul Custom 74. I was given this for my 18th birthday by my mum and dad, it cost them £260.00 back in 1979! It would cost considerably more today!
I call her Rebecca by the way.
I also carry a spare guitar just in case! Its a YAMAHA APX700. I had to get a spare when my Daion was in ANDY MANSONS guitar shop for some maintenance.Shes competely different altogether, much brighter than the Daion, but shes great for some of the beatles numbers and i use it at home for practice etc.
Thats basically it, my PA is based around a BERINGER PA power amp, 1,400 watts, and BERINGER mixer, my laptop which hold the tracks.
Everything else you hear is just me!
