About

Hi, I'm Mike, an acoustic guitarist, singer, rapper and beatboxer. I have 20 years of experience playing guitar and cover 300+ songs from the 1930s to the present day, spanning the genres of indie, pop, rock, singer-songwriter, rock and roll, drum and bass, dance, rap, hip hop and a little bit of country.
I can be hired to get your guests up dancing and singing towards the end of your wedding day, or I can play softly as you walk down the aisle or have your first dance. Here is a list of the services I offer:
- Down the aisle
- First Dance
- Background Music while guests arrive, during canapés or for the wedding music
- Party Music to get everyone dancing and singing
- Use of PA system for other parts of the day to play playlists
- Learning songs
- Customisable setlist
Get in touch with your ideas for the day and I'll provide a quote, or if you want to meet me/see me play before booking, I gig regularly in Bristol and the surrounding areas, so head out for a date night and come and request a song! I post my dates on my socials.
My partner is a professional photographer, and we can be booked together; more information is available upon request.

Based in Bristol City, Mike Walsh Music is a compelling singer and musician who can perform throughout Bristol and South Wales.
