Meet your musician
Si Dartford
My name is Si, I am a performer based in Cambridge. I would love to be a part of your special day or party! Music truly is my passion and I have great wealth of knowledge when it comes to the music industry. Please get in touch for a chat and I can help you plan the live music for your event. I'll help take the stress out of your day by helping you make the right choices. Please feel free to read below to get some more info on who I am and what I do. I look forward to hearing from you.
Having performed over 1200 shows in my career, I have learned from the ground up how to put on the best performance possible. Whether it is a tasteful drinks reception or a lively upbeat set to dance to, with huge sing along anthems, I tailor my sets to reflect the crowd in front of me regardless of age or tastes. I have shared stages with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Ash, Lightning Seeds, Joe Purdy, William Crighton - to name a few. Performing with artists such as these has given me opportunity to witness first hand how to perform and engage with an audience.
My live performance - It's just me and an acoustic guitar, using a stomper, looper and vocal harmony pedals but the overall sound is as big or as intimate as you need. I have been described not as one man band, but a one man festival! I engage with the crowd, take requests and enjoy rapport with an audience, ensuring everyone is involved.
— Si
We’ve seen Si play on the local circuit for years and have always loved his style and energy for music. So, when he agreed to do our wedding we were so excited!
Si came and performed to our guests and they all sang along and had a great time with him. He took direction from us in terms of the type of vibe we wanted to create and his set list matched it perfectly! Highly recommended for any type of wedding as he can switch up or down depending on what you want.
