Good evening.

Aaron Norton — independent acoustic artist.

Surrey-based. Playing weddings, corporate events, pubs and private parties across London and the South East. Originals streaming on Spotify and Apple Music.

About Aaron

I'm a modern independent artist. Nothing more, nothing less.

I write my own songs, release them myself, and play them in the same pubs around Surrey and London where I've been playing for nearly twenty years. I get hired for weddings and corporate events and birthday BBQs — each of those pays for the songwriting time that sits underneath all of it. I teach guitar and singing privately, write a weekly newsletter called The Soundcheck, and answer my own booking enquiries. The whole operation is just me.

My sound is stripped-back and acoustic — voice and guitar, no backing tracks. Originals alongside warm reimagined covers from James Morrison and Paolo Nutini through to Ed Sheeran and Oasis. Pubs keep the lights on, weddings pay for the good coffee, corporate events and private parties fill out the diary, and the songs are what ties the whole thing together.

If you've found this page, chances are you're either thinking about booking me for something, or you just like the music. Either way — thanks for being here.

  • Nearly 20 years of live performance experience — pubs, weddings, festivals, corporate, private events

Live Music for Every Occasion

Whether you are planning a wedding, organising a party, or looking for a reliable live act for your venue, I would love to be part of it. Every performance is tailored to the event, the venue and the audience.

Wedding Singer & Ceremony Musician

Your wedding day deserves live music that actually means something. I have performed at hundreds of weddings across Surrey, London and the Home Counties. From the ceremony to the drinks reception and into the evening, I work with you to put together a setlist that feels personal to your day. I bring my own PA, arrive with plenty of time, and make the whole thing effortless.

Private Parties & Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, garden parties — live acoustic music changes the atmosphere in a way a playlist simply cannot. Whether you want laid-back background music or everyone singing along by 10pm, I will make sure the music fits the mood. Available across Surrey, South West London, Kingston, Richmond, Wimbledon and beyond.

Pubs, Bars & Venue Bookings

I have regular residencies at pubs and bars across Surrey and South West London, and I am always open to new venues. I bring my own sound system, set up and pack down myself, and I know how to read a room. Whether it is a quiet midweek acoustic night or a rammed Saturday session, I tailor the set to what works.

Corporate & Professional Events

Need live entertainment for a company dinner, team event, awards ceremony or product launch? I provide professional acoustic music that works as background or as a featured set. Discreet, punctual, well-presented, and completely self-sufficient with my own equipment. Available across London, Surrey and the wider South East.

What people say

A few words from the venues, couples, and event hosts I've played for across Surrey and the South East.

Aaron packs the room every time he's on. Best Friday we've had all month — the regulars don't shut up about him.

Aaron played our ceremony and drinks reception and absolutely made the day. He learned two songs specially for us and nailed them both. Every guest mentioned him.

Books like clockwork, shows up early, plays a cracking set every time. Never had a complaint — most musicians you can't say that about.

Had Aaron for my sister's 50th and everyone was singing along by the second song. Professional, friendly, and actually good — worth every penny.

Guitar Lessons in Surrey & Online

I have been teaching guitar privately for over ten years alongside my gigging career. My approach is practical, patient, and built around what you actually want to play — not working through a textbook.

Whether you are a complete beginner, someone returning to music after a break, or a more experienced player looking to improve, I can help. I also work as a guitar teacher with Anstee Bridge, a charity supporting young people through music, which is something I am genuinely proud to be part of.

Lessons available in person in Surrey or online via video call. Get in touch to discuss availability.

Frequently asked

Quick answers to the questions that come up most often when people reach out about a gig.

  • How much does it cost to book Aaron?
    Fees depend on the day, the length of set, and how far the venue is. Most pub gigs sit in a standard range, and wedding/event bookings are quoted individually because the set lengths and travel vary a lot. Drop me a message with your date, venue and rough timings and I'll come back with a clear price — no hard sell.
  • Can you learn a specific song for our wedding or event?
    Yes — absolutely. I'll learn up to a handful of requested songs for a wedding (first dance, ceremony song, a parent dance) as part of the booking. Just send the original version through with the booking confirmation and I'll work it into the set.
  • How far in advance should I book?
    For weddings, the sooner the better — Saturdays between May and October get booked out well over a year in advance. For pub gigs and private events it's usually a few weeks to a few months. If the date I need is soon, still ask — last-minute availability comes up regularly when a booking shifts.
  • Do I need to provide a PA or equipment?
    No — I bring my own PA, microphones, stands and everything else I need for a solo acoustic set. All you need is a power socket within reasonable reach of where I'll be playing. Outdoor venues are fine as long as there's shelter from rain and a way to get power to me.
  • Do you play ceremony, drinks reception AND the evening?
    Yes — I'll often cover all three at a wedding. Typical setup is two or three shorter sets spread across the day (ceremony → drinks reception → evening background music or an acoustic set before the DJ). I'll work the timings around your schedule.
  • How far will you travel?
    I'm based in Surrey and play regularly across Surrey, London, Berkshire and the South East. I'll happily travel further for weddings and events — travel cost gets factored into the quote. If you're asking whether I cover your town, just drop me a message with the postcode and I'll let you know.
  • What kind of songs do you play?
    Acoustic covers across everything from classic rock and country through to modern pop and indie — 600+ songs I can pull from, with a heavy focus on songs that get people singing along. Think Ed Sheeran, Oasis, Fleetwood Mac, Passenger, The Eagles, Ben E. King, through to current chart stuff. Happy to share a sample setlist on request.
  • What's the difference between a solo acoustic singer and a wedding band?
    A solo acoustic singer is typically a better fit for the ceremony, drinks reception, and early evening — it's warmer, more personal, and works in smaller or outdoor spaces. A band is better once the dancing starts. Lots of weddings book both: me for the ceremony and reception, then a DJ or band for the evening party.
