About Jack

Music from the 50s to today, to suit any occasion!
Singer
Watford
Public liability insurance of £1 million

My name is Jack and I'm a solo pop/rock guitar and vocal act. I understand that your event, venue or business is important to you and I pride myself on providing a unique, professional, and energetic show which caters for all guests. I have an extensive and varied repetoire which includes songs ranging from the 50's to today by artists including Elvis, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Who, The Jam, Madness, Oasis, Michael Buble, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Kings of Leon, Dua Lipa, Luther Vandross, and The Four Seasons, to name just a few - there is something for everyone. If there's a song you would like which isn't in my repertoire already, I'm happy to take requests in advance of your event for up to 3 songs you would like me to learn. To me, music is not just a 'job' - it has always been my biggest passion. I found this passion at a young age and started playing guitar when I was 10 years old. I went on to study GCSE and A Level music and, throughout this time, I also taught guitar lessons. I have now been playing guitar and singing in various professional bands and tribute acts for close to 20 years and have recorded music for a successful Modern Nursery Rhyme Collection and for Cliff Richard ahead of the last tour he and The Shadows did. I have also had extensive Radio One and BBC Introducing airplay, and have played at some of the UK's best festivals as part of UK/EU tours. I am fully self-contained, with a PA system and professional stage lighting. I play with the accompaniment of the highest quality, custom made backing tracks. This means I am able to create a full band sound, as well as being able to turn levels down if you require background music instead. I also have public liability insurance for peace of mind. If you have any enquries, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you so much for making my party so amazing! You were incredible. The demos on your page do not do your voice justice. Your choice of songs were so refreshing and your approach to everything was very professional. I can't wait to see you again soon!

Jack has performed at the Load of Hay on several occasions over the last 3 years. Always a great night, singing a wide variety of old and new cover songs. The regulars often ask when is he coming back! Great local boy with a great talent! Does a great Amy Winehouse cover amongst others. Always a pleasure to have him here.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I think clients appreciate my professionalism, energetic performances and engagement with their guests.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I regularly perform at private functions (birthdays/weddings/corporate events etc) but have also worked with numerous high-end hotels, golf and other sporting clubs. I have also previously toured the UK and Europe, and played some of the UK’s best festivals.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My influences come from a huge range of artists and genres, from blues and rock and roll, to soul/motown and ska, right up to modern heavy rock and metal. I love most styles of music and each has had its own unique influence on me.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Probably Download Festival in front of 5,000 people. I’ve also been lucky enough to perform at some particularly special private parties/corporate events.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Not a problem. I will always be as flexible as I can to make sure your event runs perfectly. If things change beforehand, just let me know.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely. This is a popular request and I can provide a DJ type service using my PA system/lights between and after the live sets as required.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 1 to 2 hours before the performance time. Once my PA is set up, I can add a free playlist service to help get guests ready for the event!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests can have a dance, and have an amazing time. However, I’m definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring a PA system suitable for the event/number of guests, along with lighting and all other equipment I need.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list, there is still a chance I already know it. If, however, there is a special song you'd like me to learn, I’m happy to do this for you.
