About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: November 2024

I'm Archie, an award winning singing guitarist based in Manchester πŸŽΆπŸ†. Originally I'm from the little town of Holmfirth and over the past 12 years I have come into my own as a live performer of covers and originals. I studied Creative Music Technology at the University of Salford, where I honed my musical craft to a first degree standard. Having now played all over the UK at countless weddings I am no stranger to providing exceptional professionalism. You can hear artists like Frank Sinatra, Paolo Nutini, Fleetwood Mac and Bill Withers in my repertoire that is bound to get your feet tapping!

I offer a range of different services, from relaxed background music during your ceremony and drinks reception to energetic, hips moving, dance floor fillers to get your guests grooving! Feel free to let me know the songs you want to hear from my set list on your wedding day!

*** Included in all my packages are 3 songs of your choice that I will record and film at a scenic spot around the venue on the day! For examples of this take a look at some of my videos attached to my profile. πŸŽ₯
I also offer FREE photographs as and when I'm not performing, the more the merrier am I right?! πŸ“Έ
