About

A really professional, international, positive, fun loving singer guitarist with Scandinavian roots. He has over a thousand gigs during the last five years around the U.K, Scandinavia, The Baltic´s, Germany, Greece, Holland and even on Bourbon Street in New Orleans U.S.A, just to name a few! Everything from After Ski´s to important business parties, Cruise Ships and a hole loads of pubs and bars!

A wide range of familiar chart tunes from the sixties through to the present day is what you get out of this guy! Acoustic DJ, Modern Troubadour, Pub Joker the names are endless! Everything is played with just one acoustic guitar and vocals, the traditional old school way! It´s easier and faster to gauge a atmosphere and convert songs to fit the mood! Like Lady Gaga blues style or The Beatles Reggae style mixed with a whole lot of jokes!

His love and respect for music and his audience shines through the performance. People usually remembers him by four small factors (not the X-one)! 1.Leg Pain (due to all the dancing) 2.Throat pain (due to all the sing-alongs). 3. Stomach pain (due to all the laughing) 4. Head Pain ( The morning after)!

A safe Card!

Where are they based?

Based in Manchester but tours across the UK
