How To Find The Best Wedding Musician This guide will tell you everything you need to know about finding the best wedding musician for your big day. So what makes a good wedding musician?

Repertoire: Spanish Set

Next up in the series is my Spanish set. This is a collection of Spanish music spanning a number of centuries. It incorporates pieces of music from the classical period in Spain to the Flamenco style through to Catalan folk songs. Spanish music is full of passion and ranges from the heart breakingly beautiful to fiery and ferocious. There are some significant differences between the different styles of Spanish music. Pieces from the Spanish classical period are not too dissimilar to the pieces from my regular classical setlist. The key difference is that the pieces in my Spanish [...]

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 [...]

Hilltop Country House | Cheshire

This was the first of two performances I’ve been booked for in Cheshire this week.  Yesterday I played classical guitar at Louise and Adam’s wedding ceremony at the Hilltop Country House in the Macclesfield area of Cheshire.  The venue is a lovely well kept country house, hidden away out of sight of the main roads.  I was met at the venue by Martin, who I believe runs the Hilltop Country House and also doubles as the wedding photographer.  I enjoy working with family run businesses as their passion for their work really comes across.  We had a quick informal chat before the [...]

Billesley Manor | Warwickshire

A grand manor house venue for the most intimate wedding I’ve ever played at.  Today was a real treat as I was invited to play guitar at a small wedding ceremony at Billesley Manor.  There were only 5 members of the wedding party; this included the bride and groom, two close friends plus their witness/photographer.  Being such a small wedding ceremony the atmosphere felt delicately poised; a mixture of anticipation and excitement filled the air, which I attempted to ease by playing Mozart’s ‘Andante in E’ and ‘Birds Flew Over The Spire’, along with some other relaxing pieces from my [...]

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 [...]
