Joe Garvey

Hi! I’m Joe, and I’m a musician and songwriter who plays at events ranging from weddings to birthdays to corporate parties and everything in between.

I play upbeat, happy covers spanning from 60s to present day. My set consists of classic hit songs with unique verve and energy which get crowds singing and dancing along! Genres include pop/rock/indie/R and B/hip hop/singer/-songwriter and loads more. You can see my full song list here.

In terms of weddings, I’ve got experience playing at every part of the day, from drinks receptions to wedding breakfasts, evening parties and various other configurations of these. I always provide setlists for you in advance, which I build up (pre-booking) based on just a few recommendations from you – this saves you time, and ensures you know that you’re getting what you want from me on the day. I’m very adept at reading crowds too, so on the day I make sure to be flexible and ensure that I’m going with the mood that you and your wedding party are in.

Personalisation is really important to me – I want to ensure that your day is as unique and special as your events and relationships are. I’ve co-ordinated plenty of surprise performances before including engagements (she said yes), so you’re in safe hands with me if this is what you’re planning. I’m also more than happy to learn new songs for you to make sure you hear any particular favourites – I’ve even learned songs in other languages before (so if you want to hear some Turkish music from the 90s, you’re in luck). To find out more about the ways in which I personalise my services and go the extra mile, read my reviews here.

In terms of other events, I’ve played all over the UK and in Europe ranging from huge corporate parties for companies like Morgan Motors, WeWork and HSBC, small and large birthday parties, surprise engagements, pub gigs and pretty much everything in between. In originals gigs, I’ve played at Ronnie Scott’s, Kensington Roof Gardens, Wilton’s Music Hall and loads more. I even once played on stage with Maroon 5 as well! Because of all of this experience I’m confident playing in front of any crowd size, so whether there are 10 or 10,000 people attending your event, rest assured that I can handle it!

I’m also a producer and singer-songwriter who’s had original music played on BBC Radio 1 (on Jack Saunders’ Future Artist Show), BBC Radio 6, Made In Chelsea and more – so if you’re looking for a personalised song, you’re in capable hands (and if you’re looking for a recording, I can produce these to a professional standard for you too).
