Real Wedding Blog Posts

Apologies for not keeping up with my blog posts of real weddings at which I’ve played.  Quite simply, there are not enough hours in the day to write up every single one!  I’ve had a great time playing at various weddings over the past few months, despite the absence of real wedding blog posts.  This is certainly not a reflection on the weddings I’ve had the honour of playing at.  I’d just like to extend my thanks to those who booked me to play at the following venues: Ettington Park Hotel, Warwickshire South Farm, Cambridgeshire Malmaison Hotel, Oxfordshire Barnsdale Hall [...]

Top 5 Best Wedding Ceremony Songs: Processional

Top 5 Best Wedding Ceremony Songs: Processional I’ve been perusing the forums on many wedding themed websites and blogs recently in a bid to keep up to date with what brides are looking for with regards to music for the wedding ceremony.  I get booked to play guitar at the wedding ceremony on lots of occasions so it’s important to keep my repertoire current.  However instead of finding a deluge of answers, I uncovered many more questions regarding music for the wedding ceremony.  One of the questions which seems to keep popping up is “Which songs should I choose for the [...]

The Drinks Reception Gig

Playing guitar at a drinks reception might seem like one of the easier parts of my job, however it still serves up an array of musical challenges for which you need to be prepared to deal with.  On the face of it, performing at a drinks reception means setting up an hour before your set, running a quick sound check, followed by 2-3 performances of 45 mins each.  As far as gigs go, it sounds about as straight forward as it can be.  Indeed, when I first began playing guitar at weddings and events, I didn’t pay it much thought.  [...]

Peckforton Castle | Cheshire

I’ve been looking forward to playing at Peckforton Castle in Cheshire ever since I took the booking way back in August last year.  The venue is simply stunning!  To deepen my anticipation I treated myself to a new DSLR camera for my birthday last week, which I’ve been dying to try out somewhere picturesque.  The British weather is always something of a gamble; snow in April, heat waves in December.  I had my fingers crossed that today would at least be dry and relatively clear so that I could road test my new camera.  Low and behold, by some miracle the [...]
