Quotes from the music industry:

This is my 2026 covers show reel to demonstrate my style, sound and my repertoire (new songs added regularly). There are 14 classic songs in short demo form (you can skip through them!). Starting with slow/mid tempo tunes, through to the more upbeat floor-fillers and anthemic Britpop stalwarts. The demos are interspersed with overlaid clips of actual live performances at a variety of venue types.
The performances, whilst in a controlled environment, are live recordings and include a laser-triggered kick-drum “stomp box” and harmony pedal. Both of which I use in my live performances to give that bigger and fuller sound. I’m available for all types of venues and functions, large or small. I have my own P/A, lights and liability insurance.
I can perform 1 to 3 sets of various durations to suit. Although based in Peterborough, nowhere is too far, including international, having gigged in Spain, Uganda, Canada and Ireland. I would love to play for you at your event or venue wherever you are located.
Here are some of my recent accolades:
- Top five Finalist in Boom Radio‘s “One More Dream ’26” – competition for cover songs artists
- I had a Number 1 single on NewDawn.fm Revival Chart with an original song
- I won NewDawn.fm radio’s Jukebox Judgement in 2024 with an original composition where the panel included top record producer “Steve Lillywhite” (U2/The Pogues).
- Original Christmas song shortlisted for inclusion in Netflix movie
I’ve never not been rebooked!
