CLIVE LIVE !

Obviously because of Covid all live gigs stopped. But now things are more or less back to normal...

In exchange for appropriate recompense, I will attend your event - corporate function / wedding / party / club / festival / carnival / fete / village hall / arts centre / social group / luxury seaside villa (you never know your luck!) etc. - and perform a suitable selection from my deep bag of songs old, new and original. I can perform from a stage or fixed position, with a small PA if necessary, BUT my preferred format, that works really well, is...

THE STROLLING (UKULELE) MINSTREL ... simple, uncomplicated, old-fashioned, low-tech, acoustic. No need for wires / stage / soundcheck / roadies, it's just me moving freely among the guests with my uke. Live background or foreground music as desired, from a wide repertoire including classic pops, standards, novelty songs and instrumentals. 

TIKI / HAWAIIAN-THEMED EVENTS ... have become very popular in recent years and are a speciality of mine. I rock up sporting my Hawaiian shirt and lei and perform a selection of Hawaiian, hapa haole, tiki and similar tropical-style tunes.

PLEASE NOTE ... these days most of my gigs are private or corporate events which, for obvious reasons, are not listed here. Any public events I'm involved in will appear on this page.
