LiveAcoustic
One voice, one guitar — covers & originals that fill a room.
Just a voice,
a guitar, and a room
that fills up.
I'm Sam — a solo acoustic singer and guitarist from the Potteries. Years of gigs have taught me the only thing that matters: reading a room. Songs everyone knows every word to, a few of my own, and the sense to know when to lift a crowd and when to let it breathe.
Pubs, clubs, festivals, parties, weddings — if it needs live music that actually lands, that's the job.

Book me for the night
Same voice and guitar, tuned to the room. Pick your kind of event — every one comes with its own quick enquiry.
Pubs & Bars
A proper Friday-night set — singalongs, requests, the lot. I'll keep the room full right up to last orders.
Enquire →Clubs
Working men's and social clubs. I know the circuit, bring my own PA, turn up early and play to the crowd in front of me.
Enquire →Festivals & Events
Outdoor stages, community days, town events. Big, warm sound from one bloke and a guitar.
Enquire →Private Parties
Birthdays, anniversaries, garden parties. Your night, your playlist, the first singalong of the summer.
Enquire →Weddings
From the ceremony to the first dance — I'll learn your song and make the whole day sound like you.
Enquire →Something else?
Corporate do, charity night, an idea I've not listed? Tell me what you've got in mind.
Get in touch →Pick the songs, I'll play them
Choose an artist, tick the ones you want to hear, and add them to your enquiry — I'll build the night around them. Hundreds more where these came from, and I'll learn one special song just for you.
Mix a few artists — tick as many as you like.

What they say
"Had the whole beer garden singing by the second song. We booked him again before he'd even finished."
"Learned our first dance and absolutely nailed it. Our guests are still talking about him."
"Turned up early, sorted his own sound and read the room perfectly all night. Faultless."
Everything's sorted
Questions, answered
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes — full professional PA and lighting, all PAT-tested and covered by public liability insurance. All you need is a bit of space and a plug.
How far do you travel?
Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and across North Staffordshire as standard, and out into Cheshire, Shropshire and Derbyshire. Further afield by arrangement — just ask.
Can you learn a specific song?
Absolutely. One special request — a first dance, a favourite, something meaningful — learned free for your event. More by arrangement.
How much do you cost?
It depends on the date, location and how long you'd like me to play, so I quote each event individually. Send a quick enquiry with your details and I'll come straight back with a price.
How do I check my date?
Use the form below or message me on WhatsApp — I usually reply within a few hours. Popular dates go early, so it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later.
Check my availability
Tell me a little about your event and I'll confirm whether I'm free and send a price. No obligation, no hard sell.
