Hi - Thank you for looking at my web site!
I am an experienced Guitarist / Multi-Instrumentalist / Vocal Entertainer with over 30 years of stage experience. I can guaranteed to make your night of music as varied as you want and can cater for most tastes.
Available for functions, hotel work, cruises, corporate events, holiday parks etc!
The Music...........
"Around the World" - Multi Instrumental Show
I perform a 45 - 60 minute "Cabaret" set during which I perform on a variety of ethnic instruments - the show is entitled "A Musical Journey Around the World" and takes you on a musical journey from the UK and then to Greece (bouzouki), Italy (mandolin), Ireland, Australia, Russia (balalaika), to the USA , South America and back to the UK for a bit on the ukulele !
The show is very entertaining and can be incorporated within a normal evening of entertainment with myself and can either be "self-contained" or with "dots" for the in-house band.
As a Guitarist & Vocal Entertainer
I can play for a varied clientele - from jazz standards to 60's dance hits, Country music, Ballads and onwards.
As a Classical Guitarist
Also - I am a classically trained guitarist (a.l.c.m) and am often booked to play at weddings and quality functions, playing traditional guitar repertoire and hits from the top West End Shows such as "Don’t cry for me Argentina", "Memories" etc.
Theme Nights
I now have several themed nights available - these are music from various countries only and feature the instrument of that country - these being: -
GREEK NIGHT - featuring the Bouzouki and traditional ethnic tunes from Greece. - 1 hour.
SPANISH NIGHT - traditional Spanish /Classical guitar/Flamenco guitar - 1 hour.
BOSSA NOVA – Ideal for drinks receptions – features the lovely music of Brazil and South America.
As a Session Musician
I am an established sight reader/arranger/musical director and have backed literally thousands of cabaret acts and big name artists throughout my career. Being thrown in at the deep end is normal work for me!
Having qualified from the London College of Music in 1986 (Classical guitar Performance) I went on to perform all over the world with various bands in a variety of establishments and for various large corporate companies such as Celebrity Cruises (Band Leader / Musical director), Southern Suns Hotels, Haven Warner, Pontins, Butlins, Eperotiki cruises, Chandris cruises, Dolphin Hellas Cruises, CTC Cruises, Shearings Holidays and many more!
