Adam is a professional solo guitarist based in Hampshire, who regularly performs at functions & weddings across the UK. His dedication to given memorable performances, great communcation & customer satisfaction to clients has helped grow his portfolio over the last 15 years.
Starting from the age of 7, he began learning classical guitar, working his way through grades and landing a placement at Trinity Guildhall at the age of 11. During his teen years, he began taking an interest in contemporary music, and expanded his abilities to perform finger style arrangements of popular songs. Upon graduating from BIMM London, he has been working as a professional musician as well as provided tuition to the next generations of great guitarists!
Adam is regularly updating his repertoire, covering new releases or requests from clients. This versatility ensures there is music for everyone to enjoy at events, whether younger generations would like to hear the newest songs played on guitar, or whether grandparents would like to hear more classical/latin arrangements of pieces.
The repertoire includes a wider range of songs including classical pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Pachelbel and modern pop hits by the likes of Ed Sheeran, James Bay, Christina Perri and many more. There is also jazz standards as well as festive songs (when it is the right time of the year of course!)

Testimonials
Here are some of my recent testimonials from events.
‘Adam was so professional and easy to deal with. He learnt a song we requested especially for our big day and it was so beautiful that it almost brought me tears.
His playing really set the mood and atmosphere of the wedding and can not recommend him highly enough.’
‘Adam played at my wedding, beautiful, emotive and sentimental tunes.
All my guests loved it and it was very special for me and my family.’
‘Thank you for playing our wedding ceremony. Your version of ‘Everything I Do’ was perfect, and we would recommend Adam to all our friends and family.’
‘Fantastic! Thank you for performing our request for the ceremony!’
‘Great repertoire – thank you for helping make the day so special, Adam’
‘Adam performed at my mother’s birthday party, providing background music for our dinner. His selection of pieces was great and he even learnt a selection of Tangos for the occasion. I’m happy to recommend him to anyone for future events.’
