With 20+ years of musical training, and nearly a decade of performing experience behind him, Marcus can boast having played over 200 gigs over the last two years many of them private events and weddings. He mostly travels over the South East of England, but can go further afield where required.
Marcus is perhaps most at home playing downbeat, romantic numbers, but is well renowned for being able to play a given song in several different ways, and is more than capable of getting a crowd dancing! He likes to tailor his performance to the event, and is always happy to learn a special song or two for the day if appropriate.
With consistently great reviews from clients, and a reputation for good communication and professionalism, Marcus looks forward to the challenge of sculpting his musical performance to fit your event perfectly!

Testimonials
After researching various places for a solo guitarist/singer for our private function we found Marcus. From initial contact through to performing on the day he was accommodating, helpful and an excellent performer. He even learned new material especially for us and played several sets into the night. I don't normally give such a high rating for things but I am unable to find fault with everything he did and all of our guests commented on how great he was so the rating is justly deserved and I have no hesitation in recommending him and would certainly use him again. Thank you Marcus.
- Gordon Mitchell (Private Garden Party)
Dear Marcus, It was a pleasure to have you sing and play at my Birthday Party. Your voice and tone was absolutely perfect for my event. Everybody thought that you were fabulous young and old. Lucy in her twenties was amazed getting you to play Snow Patrol with zero practice and Hildergard 90+ loved your song choice and guitar playing !! My boys in their 30s thought you were super cool and I was thrilled with my special songs and a rendition of Happy Birthday. It was lovely and we will definitely book you again. With very kind wishes for much success in your career and many more happy memories
- Jenny Lane (Private party)
Marcus kept us entertained brilliantly all evening with his large repertoire of favourite songs. He arrived early with his entire pa system and was friendly efficient to deal with throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Marcus if you are looking for a troubadour that you can trust, who will perform beautifully and almost certainly leave your crowd wanting more!
