More Information
I am a solo guitarist/singer that performs a setlist including songs from the 1960s through to now. I have gigged across the North East from Tyneside to Teesside and have performed at respected music venues. I can cater to laid back venues that require a softer sound and to venues that are after upbeat party tunes.
