Listen and watch

Have a listen before you decide anything

A website can tell you I'm good. That's worth almost nothing. Here are 44 recordings and 18 videos, so you can decide for yourself.

Audio

Forty four recordings, in four sets

Straight audio, no studio polish. Pick a moment in the day, first dances, the ceremony, the evening set, or requests I did not see coming, and start from the song that matters to you.

First dances

The ones couples ask me to arrange for one guitar and one voice.

Ceremony and the register

Quieter, slower, the sort of thing that sits under a room signing a document.

Evening set

Louder and faster, the end of the night before the DJ takes over.

Requests I did not see coming

Songs somebody asked for and I learned. Most of the list started this way.

What you'll actually hear on the day

What is published here is a sample rather than the set. I learn new songs for most weddings I play, and a sample recording of your key songs is sent to you before the wedding as standard, so nothing about the day is a surprise.

The daytime set sits under conversation. It is pitched so guests can talk across a table without raising their voices, and so the ceremony moments are heard properly rather than competing with a room. The evening set is a different job entirely: it is built to get people up, and it is louder and faster to match.

If you want to know which set goes where, which set goes with which part of the day spells it out, and here is what each part of the day costs.

Video

Eighteen videos

These were filmed in a studio session and at home in my office, not at weddings, so there is nothing between you and the voice. Two minutes and you'll know whether I'm right for your day.

Tell me what it is. I learn new songs for most weddings I play, and I can send you an mp3 sample so you know how it will sound before the day.
