full Songlist and celtic repertoire
Please find below my full repertoire, encompassing ceremony music, drinks reception music, corporate events, and more. This songlist is made up of songs I have played in the past for weddings/events and firm favourites that regularly feature in my current reception setlist.
I am thrilled to work with all of my wedding music clients to curate the perfect repertoire for your big day, and consultation on your ceremony music is included in all packages offered.
You’ll also find some audios here of some of my recommendations for Celtic music which I find can compliment certain moments during your ceremony really well. This is a repertoire of beautiful and unique Celtic music arranged for solo guitar that I have developed over the last few years. Some of these pieces may be harder to search for online (as opposed to the more well-known songs) so I’ve included them here for your reference - they can work at any stage during the ceremony but are particularly good for enhancements and shorter moments (such as lighting of the candles or handfasting). Some of the pieces are up to 5 minutes long so the idea here is that we just take a short segment of the piece to fit with a moment in your ceremony (eg candles/handfasting/etc) or they can be used in full for other moments (eg signing of the register - an instance where we often use a full song)
