About
From Saxophone to Mandolin, Clarinet, Guitar/s or warm/deep Vocals, Ukelele - plus a wide choice of classical and more contemporary music - from Mozart, to Michael Bublé...
Chris Hastings is one of the most unique, professional and sought after musicians/singers for ambient - yet engaging – mellifluous (sweet/flowing) music at social occasions & private events across South Wales..
With over 150 wedding ceremonies/receptions to his name since graduation in 2005, Chris continues to be recommended and hired by successive managers at Swansea Grand Theatre, hotels in Llanelli, Stradey Park Hotel; Swansea, Marriott Hotel; the Gower, King Arthur Hotel, and more recently the Oldwalls luxury cottages/celebrity retreat.
His 6th New Years Eve performance in the restaurant at Swansea Marriott Hotel (2011/12) is a testimonial in itself.
Chris has an extensive and growing repertoire of classical and more contemporary pieces – from Mozart to Michael Buble - subtly sung or performed on his Clarinet, Mandolin, Saxophone, Electric Guitar or Spanish guitar. He specialises in providing sonorous ambient music; enhancing and attentively harmonising with the mood of your special day.
“When you played during the wedding ceremony, you could have heard a pin drop – it transfixed the audience (us included).” - Stuart & Stephanie
Where are they based?
Chris performs mainly in the satellite towns around Swansea but will happily travel for work across South Wales and beyond..
