ABOUT

As you can see from my equipment, I am very dedicated to putting on as good a professional show as possible. I am a vocalist who has revived the love of guitars and will play live guitar over top class backing tracks. Each song has individual tracks that can be muted for live musicians. I have nearly 50 years experience and I have been involved with so many genres, including, Musical Theatre, ships, travelling cabaret, resident band at Haven and Park Resorts. I have played in pop bands, covered everything from Opera to Heavy Metal. I had a short stint as lead singer with a band in Germany but I had no knowledge of the language so I had to leave as it was unfair to expect people to speak English whilst they are in their own country.
I am looking for a female vocalist with a voice that can last on occasion three hours of singing which will be shared with myself. I accidentally began singing in the style of whatever song came up next and I found my niche, it always made me smile when I sang the last note of Con Te Partiro then straight into Hit Me Baby One More Time (I can do a mean Britney). I miss the duo gigs and think it will be nice to have an easy going singer with a good sense of humour who knows how to dress appropriately according to the venue and/or event, (e.g. No Jeans and T-Shirts onstage for weddings). Image is not my top priority, I’m not looking for a gorgeous looking woman who has to rely on how pretty she is rather than how she can sing. I’m sorry if that isn’t P.C. I have seen it so often in both male and female vocalists and it is sad to see as looks don’t last forever but a good and well nutured set of pipes can get even better with age. Please do not let any of the above intimidate you, I am actually a very polite and easy going man so even if you feel you lack the confidence but honestly think you know or can learn 30+ songs, it will be worth a shot and if everything clicks I promise that I will make sure you are ok. I also request that whether it’s a meetup or a studio session that you bring someone with you to make you feel comfortable, that will also apply to gigs but please no jealous partners, I will protect you should someone shoot their mouth off, and there will be no need for anyone punching someones lights out resulting in a bad review and a ban from the venue. I have heard some great voices on this site, but one great sounding song immaculately delivered is fine but I need someone who can at least make a a good performance of a minimum of 5+ songs and put in the work to build a good repertoire of music before the gigs are booked. I am very much hoping that whoever you are out there, together we will make wonderful music together and also have some good laughs.
