Glasgow Singing Guitarists: A practical guide for events
Performance overview
A singing guitarist in Glasgow typically offers a versatile setlist covering indie, pop, rock classics, and Scottish favourites suitable for mixed audiences. Expect clear vocals, tasteful guitar work, and unobtrusive volume control that fits pubs, restaurants, weddings, and corporate receptions. Most performers provide 2 × 45–60 minute sets with short breaks, can learn a special song on request, and will adapt pacing to match your event’s flow – background early on, more up-tempo later if required.
Best-fit events and venues
- Weddings: Ceremony music, drinks reception, or early evening “turnaround” before the DJ/band.
- Corporate events: Receptions, client dinners, product launches, awards pre-show.
- Private parties: Birthdays, anniversaries, garden gatherings, and house parties.
- Hospitality venues: Bars, hotels, and restaurants seeking quality live music in Glasgow.
Rates, gear and setup
Typical fees for a solo singer-guitarist in Glasgow range from £200–£350 for a short, off-peak daytime booking and £300–£600 for evening or weekend dates. Add-ons like extended playing time, early arrival, or a song request may add £25–£150 depending on complexity and timings.
Most acts bring a compact PA system, acoustic or electro-acoustic guitar, microphone, and often a loop pedal for fuller sound. Expect PAT-tested equipment and Public Liability Insurance as standard for professional performers. Setup usually takes 45–60 minutes; a performance area of roughly 2m x 2m, a nearby 13A power socket, and sheltered space for outdoor events are recommended.
How to book smoothly
Confirm the event schedule, access details, and any sound limiter at the venue – Glasgow venues often have strict limits that favour acoustic acts. Share your preferred styles and must-play songs, along with any “do not play” items. Provide realistic arrival and parking info, plus a safe spot to store cases. For popular dates, book 8–12 weeks in advance; last-minute availability varies. A written agreement should cover timings, fees, cancellation terms, and overruns.
FAQ
How long is a typical set?
Most offer 2 × 45–60 minutes, with flexibility to add a third set or a short ceremony slot.
Will you learn our first dance or a special song?
Yes, one song request is commonly included; additional requests may incur a small fee and advance notice.
Is all sound equipment provided?
Professionals bring a PA, guitar, mic, and basic lighting if required. You provide power, space, and suitable cover outdoors.
Which factors influence the fee?
Date, duration, travel, setup/finish times, and extra services (e.g., early arrival, extended sets, DJ playlist) influence the total.
Is a solo singing guitarist loud enough for dancing?
For intimate dance floors, yes, especially with a loop pedal. For large parties, consider adding a DJ or full band later in the evening.
