Hi Vic,

Thanks so much for the music last night. It was all a bit of a blur for me but I had a fantastic time.

50th Birthday Party - 27th February 2010

If you are considering booking me for a private function come and see a public gig:

Vic's Gigs (solo or band)

I can cope with Sound Limiters/Decibel Metres that many function venues have as part of their entertainment licence. I also have Public Liability Insurance.

   

Getting the right "live music" for your party or venue

Finding suitable "live music" for your event can be quite daunting. I know a number of bands and musicians in many styles of music and am always happy to help give advice or pass on details. Feel free to email me vic.cracknell@btinternet.com or call 07917 403052. Here are some ideas that get Vic's seal of approval:

 

Country

An excellent band are Gone Country www.gonecountry.co.uk who also have the Johnny Cash Show available

 

 Mellow Soul/Jazz Standards/Swing/Classic Pop

If "cocktail music" in the form of swing, soul and classic pop is more your thing look no further than the Claire Phoenix Band www.phoenixmusic.org (I play keyboards with them when available). Also contact me if you are looking for someone to play background Cocktail Piano

 

Solo Guitar

Classical, Flamenco and Contemporary guitarist Byron Johnston www.themusicofbyron.com  is the perfect accompaniment to your wedding, function or event
