Wayne Bridle Full Description
I think I’m the luckiest!.... I have played and sung at weddings,pubs,festivals,proms, parties and more for 30 years and that’s my ‘job’! My set includes songs from The Beatles,Coldplay, Bowie, David Gray, Kinks, George Ezra, Elton John,U2 and many more!
For me it’s essential to meet the happy couple well before the wedding to completely understand their wishes. I’ll also visit the venue beforehand to assess the logistics and meet the event organiser to ensure all questions are answered before the big day.
My business ethos is to surprise and delight and my success has been mainly through recommendations..
