Live acoustic guitar for private dinners, anniversary celebrations, birthday parties and intimate gatherings, music that makes a personal occasion feel genuinely special.
As a private event guitarist based in Worcestershire, I play for all kinds of personal occasions, from intimate home dinners and anniversary celebrations to milestone birthday parties and small garden gatherings. Whatever the occasion, the effect is the same: live acoustic music transforms the atmosphere in a way that even the most carefully chosen playlist simply can't.
Private events are often the ones that matter most to the people organising them. Whether you're marking a significant anniversary, celebrating a landmark birthday, or simply want to make an occasion feel more considered and memorable, live music is one of the most effective ways to do it.
I keep things simple and unfussy. I arrive, set up quietly, and play warm, recognisable acoustic music at exactly the right level for the space and the occasion. You won't need to manage me on the night, I'm used to reading a room and adjusting to fit whatever's happening around me.

Live acoustic guitar suits a wide range of private occasions. Here are the most common bookings I receive from individuals and families across Worcestershire and the surrounding counties.
A milestone anniversary deserves something more than a restaurant playlist. Live acoustic guitar during a private dinner at home or at a venue adds a layer of warmth and thoughtfulness that makes the evening genuinely memorable.
Whether it's a landmark birthday or simply one worth marking properly, live music sets an occasion apart. I can play during drinks, throughout a dinner, or across an entire evening depending on what works best for your event.
Some of the most enjoyable events I play are relaxed home dinners, a small group of people, good food, good company, and live acoustic guitar in the background. I'm set up to play in domestic spaces without any fuss or disruption.
Live acoustic guitar outdoors on a summer afternoon is hard to beat. I bring everything needed to play outside and can cover a garden or terrace comfortably, weather permitting.
Reunions, retirement celebrations, christenings, and other family occasions all benefit from live music that brings people together and gives the gathering a sense of occasion beyond the everyday.
Not every occasion fits neatly into a category, and that's fine. If you have something in mind that you'd like live acoustic guitar for, get in touch and we can talk through whether it would work.
Private events work best when the entertainment feels effortless, when it simply adds to the occasion without creating extra things to think about. That's exactly how I try to operate.
I arrive ahead of time, set up quietly in whatever space works best for the event, and am ready to play before your guests arrive. My equipment is compact enough to work well in domestic settings, I'm not arriving with a van full of gear that fills the room. The sound is warm, clear, and at the right level for the space.
I play a wide range of acoustic music and am happy to discuss song requests in advance. If there's something particular you'd like played, a song that means something to the guest of honour, or something that fits the theme of the evening, just let me know and I'll do my best to include it.
One of the things that makes a private event feel personal is music that feels chosen rather than generic. I have a wide repertoire spanning several decades, classic songs most people know and love, played on acoustic guitar in a way that suits the mood of the evening.
If there's a particular style you'd like, or songs you'd specifically like included or avoided, I'm happy to discuss that when we speak. I take requests on the night too, if I know the song, and guests often appreciate that more than anything else.
For milestone occasions like a significant anniversary, I'll sometimes learn a particular song specially. If that's something you'd like, just mention it when you get in touch and we can talk it through.
I'm based in Worcestershire and available for private events across the West Midlands and surrounding counties, including Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Shropshire, and into Birmingham and Solihull.
I play at private homes, restaurants, hotels, and event spaces of all kinds. If you're unsure whether your location is within range, just get in touch and I'll let you know. Travel within a reasonable distance is included as standard.
I bring my own compact PA system and all necessary equipment. Setup is quick and unobtrusive, typically around 20 to 30 minutes, and I'll have everything ready before your guests arrive. I carry full public liability insurance and PAT tested equipment.
For home events, I just need a power socket and a reasonable amount of space to set up. Nothing more complicated than that.
