My usual live set-up is midi accordion and electric guitar, inter-changing between each as the audience demands. I can also do a piping spot with orchestral and rock backing tracks, playing popular tunes like Highland Cathedral, Skye Boat Song, Scotland the Brave etc, which go down particularly well at Scots nights etc. Flexibility is my speciality, I can do a whole night of Scottish / Irish and Ceilidh if you want, or a night of mostly Pop, Rock and Country, with a bit of Ceilidh thrown in. Contact me with details of your function and I can tailor the music to suit.
Live Performance
I am a solo performer available for all types of functions, from pubs and clubs, to dinner-dances and weddings. I play midi-accordion linked to a Ketron Audya Music Expander which allows me to sound like a full band and play a full range of music to suit all tastes. I also play Gretsch electric guitar with backing tracks and vocals and I can play Ceilidh, Country, Big Band, Pop, Rock n' Roll, and everything in between. In addition to all the popular ceilidh dances, I also cover music by the Beatles, Eagles, Proclaimers, Tina Turner, Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, Staus Quo, Sinatra, Take That, Lonestar, Neil Diamond, Paolo Nuttini, Elvis and many more.
