St George’s Hall and Hope Street Hotel | Liverpool

St George's Hall and Hope Street Hotel in Liverpool | 23rd May 2015 I was very fortunate to be invited to play guitar for a wedding at St George’s Hall in Liverpool on Saturday. St George’s Hall is right in the heart of Liverpool City Centre. It’s a beautiful neoclassical building which plays host to a couple of incredible concert venues. I was booked to play in the 'Concert Room'. With this performance being in the heart of Liverpool city centre at the start of a bank holiday weekend, I set off with plenty of time to spare. As it happened [...]

Wasing Park | Berkshire

Wasing Park in Berkshire | 9th May 2015 On Saturday I was booked to perform as a wedding guitarist at Wasing Park in Berkshire. This is the second time I’ve made the trip down the Berkshire this week. The first time was to play at a private birthday party at Cliveden Hotel. From looking at the website in the weeks leading up to this wedding, I got the feeling that Wasing Park was not just your run of the mill barn wedding venue. The main barn is shaped like a castle, it has a miniature house on stilts and a beautiful church set [...]

The Upper House | Staffordshire

The Upper House in Staffordshire - 10th April 2015 The Upper House in Staffordshire is a lovely rural Victorian hotel and wedding venue. The added bonus is that it’s just a short drive from where I live. As much as I enjoy travelling to unknown venues and seeing something different, it’s certainly nice when I take a wedding guitarist booking at a Staffordshire venue.  I must admit that I didn’t realize quite how local The Upper House is for me.  It turns out that The Upper House is set in the same 10 acres of woodland in which I go walking at [...]

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.  [...]

Wentbridge House Hotel | Yorkshire

The majority of wedding gigs go off without a hitch.  Today was not one of them.  So what possible cataclysmic turn of events occurred today which caused me such consternation? I broke a nail. For classical guitarists, the shape and condition of the nails on the right hand play a crucial part in the production of good tone.  Classical guitarists who have been playing for any length of time will have tried and tested countless different nail shapes in a bid to establish their exact preference.  Each guitarist has their own particular playing style, much in the same way we [...]

All Saints Church | Shropshire

If there was ever an advert for travelling early for a booking, today was it.  I had been asked to play classical guitar at Julia and Matt’s wedding ceremony at All Saints Church in Shropshire.  This is approximately a 1 hour drive which I consider to be pretty local (bearing in mind I travel all over the UK to play guitar at weddings).  I set out at 10am hoping to arrive at 11am in time for a 12:30pm start.  Everything was going so well; I made good time on the roads and there was no traffic even though V festival [...]
