About this Act
Byron is a full time professional guitarist currently receiving glowing reviews for his unique and highly original artistic approach to guitar performance following the release of his solo album ‘Oceano’. He has performed at many private events and celebrations in the past as well as being a concert performer who continues to play at festivals, theatres, TV and radio performances as well as international shows.
In the past few years he has travelled from India to the Caribbean to perform, and most recently in the winter of 2010 he was playing concerts in South Africa and South America. So far 2011 he has given two concerts at The Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank and at the Royal Albert Hall, as he launches his third album. All the while maintaining a busy schedule of private performances for venues, weddings, birthdays and more.
Byron is a highly professional guitarist that will bring every level of experience and care to your booking coupled with his extensive repertoire, he is a very popular choice as a solo musician. At private events such as weddings, birthdays and parties he specialises in playing an up to date repertoire of songs in particular pop material from indie and new pop genres that is specially arranged for the solo guitar. He also has a comprehensive list of songs from classic pop and ballads, to a Gypsy Kings style flamenco set perfect for summer events and latin/Spanish themed parties, and finally a selection of famous classical numbers too.
For Wedding Ceremonies – special songs can be arranged onto the guitar for the entrance of the bride and Byron can perform indoors as well as outside. You can hand pick songs from Byron’s repertoire to be played at exact points of the day, Byron also uses top of the range amplification which means that he can be comfortably heard by guests without being too loud and he can also quickly and easily move to different areas of a venue throughout the wedding day, which is perfect when bringing music from ceremony, to an outdoors reception followed by the wedding breakfast.
Byron can add that finishing touch to special occasions and provide background music as guests dine or enjoy drinks, he guarantees a quality service that is excellent value for money.
