Most weeks of the year I'm somewhere playing a pub. It's the part of the job I've done longest and the part I'm probably best at. If you run a pub, bar, restaurant or event venue and you're looking for someone dependable who can turn up, set up quickly, and play a set that actually pulls in drinkers, you're in the right place.
What pub landlords get from me
- Reliability. I turn up when I say I'll turn up, I set up quickly, I don't faff. You can trust I'll be there.
- A set that fills the room. I play crowd-pleasers, not deep cuts. Sheeran, Oasis, Fleetwood Mac, Passenger, Van Morrison, Stevie Wonder — the songs people want to sing along to, not the ones they politely tolerate.
- Own PA and mic setup. Only thing I need from you is a plug socket and somewhere to stand.
- Insurance. Full public liability and equipment cover — happy to share certificates if your insurer needs them.
- Social media. I post pre-gig promo on my Instagram and YouTube for every booked gig, which does bring people in.
Regular nights or one-offs
I play both. Some pubs book me for a specific night every month or every quarter — it works well because the regulars learn to expect it and you build a crowd. Others just book me for a bank holiday, a sports Saturday, a Christmas Eve evening or a summer garden party.
Either works. Drop me a message with the night, the venue and how long a set you're after and I'll come back with availability.
