​

How far are you prepared to travel?

​

I am based in Dublin and a large proportion of my bookings are in Dublin but I frequently venture to Kildare , Wicklow and I don’t mind traveling to any locations. I am happy to drive just about anywhere in Ireland

Traveling abroad is also an option. I have played gigs abroad.

​

Do you charge extra for travel?

Not usually. My standard rates apply to venues outside of Dublin, I will typically add extra into to the overall quote to account for travel cost and time but I don’t charge much for it .

2. We will have a discussion by email / phone to establish your requirements, and my availability, and allow you to ask questions.

​

4. You will then pay a deposit, which is typically €100 to secure the date

​

5. Im sending you a confirmation email that I have received the deposit and that the date is yours.

​

​​

Can we meet up with you before the event?

​

I'm always happy to discuss your event with you at length before the day. The most important thing is that you feel completely comfortable with every stage of the process.

 

I usually find that a Zoom call is more than adequate to cover everything.

​

​

Is there anywhere we can watch you playing live before we book?

​

My focus is very much on private events, but I do also play a few pub gigs in and around Dublin. You would be more than welcome to come along and watch! Just ask and I can send you a list of my upcoming public events.

 

​

Do you need a power point?​

​

yes

​

​

My venue has sound level restrictions - would your performance trigger a sound limiter?​

​

Please do not worry about this – I will not be to loud.

​​

​

Can I request a song that isn't in your repertoire?

​

Absolutely! This is common for wedding ceremonies and first dances.

​

I usually offer to learn up to two new songs for all events - so just let me know what you have in mind.

​

I will just need a two months’ notice to learn any new songs before the event.

​

What is your background ?

​

I come from a musical background with bought parents being musicians and I was messing on a synthesizer since I could stand up and reach up to it.

 

 I achieved MA in Music tech from Limerick University and I have been taking lots of masterclasses with great singers to be where I am vocally. I've been playing and recording music in some capacity for at least two decades now.

​

It is now ten years and counting since I became a full-time musician - and I've had so many incredible experiences.

 

I am constantly excited about expanding my business. As well as several artistic projects. I am currently seeking to grow the recording side of it. I am also interested in teaching/mentoring people aged from 6 who are looking to learn how to sing and get  involved in the music industry.

 

I have no intention of ever having a "real job" again ;)
