Singing Guitarists: What to expect, where they fit, and how to book
What a Singing Guitarist brings
A singing guitarist delivers flexible, high-quality live music that suits intimate rooms and medium-sized venues. Expect acoustic or light electric guitar with vocals, tasteful backing tracks or a loop pedal when appropriate, and well-paced sets that support – rather than dominate – your event. Professional performers provide curated setlists across genres (pop, rock, folk, soul), take timed breaks, and adapt volume to conversation-friendly levels.
Suitable occasions
This format works for a wide range of events: Wedding ceremonies and receptions, cocktail hours, corporate receptions, award dinners, store openings, private house parties, restaurants, and garden gatherings. For larger stages, a singing guitarist can open the evening or deliver a focused feature set between speeches or DJ sets.
Practical information: Pricing, equipment, and logistics
Typical price range: Expect approximately £350–£1,200 for up to two 45-minute sets, varying by date, travel, repertoire prep, and production needs. Peak dates and bespoke song requests may carry supplements.
Equipment: Most bring a compact PA system (suitable for 50–120 guests), vocal mic, guitar DI, small mixer, and optional loop pedal. Larger crowds may require venue PA or rental.
Space & power: About 2×2 m performance area and one standard power outlet; outdoor bookings need weather cover.
Setup & soundcheck: 30–60 minutes depending on access and parking.
- Set length: Common formats are 2×45, 3×40, or a 60-minute showcase.
- Repertoire: Mixed classics and current hits; advance requests welcome.
- Volume control: Adjustable to suit background ambience or headliner moments.
- Insurance: Many carry public liability; PAT-tested gear on request.
- Travel & overtime: Mileage/late-finish fees may apply.
Booking considerations
Confirm the essentials early: event timeline, audience size, access/parking, loading times, and any venue sound limits. Share must-play and do-not-play lists, dress code, and announcement needs. Contracts should outline fees, breaks, rider (water/soft drinks, changing space), cancellation terms, and contingency for weather or equipment failure. For ceremonies, align on exact cues, keys, and version references.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
For weekends and peak season, 3–6 months is sensible; short-notice bookings are sometimes available midweek.
Can the performer learn special songs?
Yes, most will learn one or two new songs with notice. Additional requests may incur rehearsal fees.
Do I need to provide equipment?
Usually not. Performers bring a compact PA and microphone. For 150+ guests or complex rooms, discuss venue PA support.
How loud is a singing guitarist?
They can play at background level for mingling or step up for a spotlight moment. Share any decibel limits to avoid issues.
What affects the price?
Date, performance length, travel, bespoke song prep, early setup/late finish, and additional sound equipment.
