Mistershed — Live Percussion for Weddings
Sebastian Doughty, known professionally as Mistershed, is a live percussionist bringing energy and atmosphere to weddings across Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and beyond. Performing professionally since 2011, he offers couples a choice: walkabout bongos that move through the crowd during the drinks reception or dancing, or a fuller live Latin percussion set to layer alongside a DJ or band during the wedding breakfast and evening party.
Self-taught in Latin percussion over some fifteen years and playing entirely by ear, Sebastian brings a natural, instinctive energy to every set. He's an endorsed artist with Protection Racket and has a brand collaboration with Poca Audio, and has performed everywhere from intimate garden weddings to major festivals including Glastonbury.
