Standard fees: solo with backing tracks from £550, acoustic with guitar from £750, full band from £1,500. Festival pricing can flex either direction — headline festival slots with riders sometimes attract higher fees, community and charity events get genuine reduced rates. Tell me about the festival in the enquiry and you'll have a real quote within 24 hours.

Yes — for genuine community causes and registered charity fundraisers, the fee structure adapts. Get in touch with details about the cause and the event. For events that align with what I'd want to support, I work to what makes sense rather than the headline rate. Worth asking either way.

Both work. For organised festivals with in-house PA and engineers, I can plug straight into the stage setup — riders supplied in advance with input lists and stage plot. For smaller festivals or community events without dedicated PA, I bring my own. Just tell me what's available when you book.

Yes — festival season is built around multi-event summers. Multi-weekend bookings, festival circuit dates, summer residencies all work. Worth flagging early in the year if you're programming a full summer schedule.

Two things sorted before the booking is confirmed: the kit has covered setup (gazebo, marquee corner, or under an awning), and there's a contingency move if the weather is genuinely uncooperative. For festivals with multi-stage setups this is usually built in; for one-off outdoor parties we plan it together. The kit doesn't perform in pouring rain — that's protected.

Depends on the slot. Headline festival sets are typically 60–90 minutes. Acoustic stage slots and supporting roles run 30–45 minutes. Community festivals and charity events flex from a single 30-minute spot up to a 2–3 hour rotating presence across the day. Tell me the slot length when you enquire.

Acoustic with guitar is the most-booked festival setup — warm, organic, fits the outdoor festival aesthetic perfectly. Solo with backing tracks works well for smaller events and budget-conscious bookings. Full band is reserved for main stages and larger outdoor parties that want headline-feel energy.

Yes — UK-wide festival bookings welcome. Travel within Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire is included. Further afield gets a clear mileage quote, and for festivals that run late or have early next-day slots, accommodation costs are quoted alongside the booking.

Festival bookings are best done early — most summer festivals book their lineup 3–6 months out, with prime weekends going earlier still. For multi-weekend summer programmes (pub garden residencies, brewery summer events), book in the previous winter where possible. Last-minute festival slots sometimes come up if a booking falls through — worth asking even close to the date.
