About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: August 2026

I'm an acoustic guitarist and singer based in Northamptonshire and the West Midlands.
While weddings are a newer part of my journey, live performance isn't. I've spent years performing music, first as the lead singer of an indie rock band, and more recently as a solo performer in pubs, bars and restaurants. Everything you hear is performed live without any backing tracks.
My music taste has always been shaped by artists like The Beatles, Oasis, The Stone Roses, The Smiths, Bob Dylan and David Bowie, and those influences definitely find their way into my setlists. That said, I also enjoy mixing things up with the occasional pop classic… think Sugababes, Westlife or Taylor Swift.
One of my recent weddings took me to the South of France, where I performed two hours of music built around the couple's own curated playlist, learning several new songs just for the occasion.
I prefer to let the music do the talking. I'm not the sort of performer who spends half the set chatting into the microphone, and we all know that your wedding guests don't want that either!
Whether you're looking for relaxed background music during drinks, something special for your ceremony, or a full evening performance, we can make it happen.
What I offer:
• Bespoke setlists tailored to your favourite artists and songs, or a carefully chosen mix from my regular portfolio of songs.
• Performances for ceremonies, drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, evening entertainment, or any combination that suits your day.
• Flexible performance lengths, from a few special songs to several hours of live music.
• My own PA system, if required.
• Based in Northamptonshire and the West Midlands, with travel available further afield (a small travel fee may apply depending on the location).
• Easy-going communication, happy to chat over the phone, video call or WhatsApp to discuss your plans and make sure I'm the right fit.
• No need to worry about providing food, I'm perfectly happy without it.
• Competitive pricing while I continue to build my wedding portfolio, despite having many years of live performance experience.
