Thomas Egerton
This classical guitarist is a vibrant, sensitive musician specialising in high quality performances of classical and Spanish music on the guitar. His repertoire also incorporates refined renditions from the pop and jazz repertoire.
Allow his finesse and musical poetry to win you and your guests over with his expansive repertoire spanning the Baroque to the present day with music from all over the globe. Request a specific genre or favourite piece in advance and arrangements can be made to tailor a perfect soundtrack to your special day.
He began playing the guitar at the age of nine and has studied at the Norwegian Academy of Music, Oslo and with John Mills and Christopher Stell at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama where he graduated with a Bachelor degree with a distinction in performance and a Masters degree. During his studies he performed at the William Walton Festival in Oldham in Spring 2004 attended by Lady Walton, and was invited to perform at her estate on Ischia, Italy the following April. He has also performed for the Singaporean Prime Minister, and at the Bolivar Hall International Guitar Festival in London and gave the first guitar recital in the Wales Millennium Centre. More recently he has performed extensively in Paris and across France during his six years living in the French capital, in addition to performances at festivals in Germany, Slovenia, UK and France.
In addition to playing recitals throughout the British Isles, he is available for events such as wedding receptions and ceremonies, society functions, and corporate dinners and conferences. Either for unobtrusive live background music or informal recitals, the beautiful sounds of his classical guitar will bring style and elegance to any sized occasion.
He is based in South Wales and performs at weddings up to 4 hours from Cardiff and in the South West of England and Cornwall as his family are based there.

A gorgeous voice, everyone loved your style and singing? perfect!

She has performed for many of our guests for a number of years, whether it be in a corporate or private party she has always over delivered on the brief. Whatever the reason for the party she has always wowed my guests, her ?Jazz sets? that she has performed have been brilliant and has always created just the right atmosphere and tone to our parties with her range and selection of songs being exceptional. We have also partied hard to her ?dance sets? which I still believe in many instances you cannot tell her covers of dance tracks are not recordings of the original artists. Her ability to source other musicians when the event needs ?scaling up? is also impressive and leads to a seriously quality entertaining event. I hope I have the pleasure of booking her for many more parties into the future and I would thoroughly recommend her and her team. Fantastic!

We cannot tell you how grateful we are for the amazing music that you provided on our wedding day. It was perfect in every way, and we received many compliments from our guests. Our only regret is that in the flurry of activity and emotion, we did not have the chance to listen more closely to the beautiful music......Merci mille fois once again!
Katie & Clay | 8th October, 2011
he played songs from his repertoire as well as a special request for our first dance. It was magical to dance in the Jardin de Tuilieries and have him play our song, it made it extra special and memorable. We couldn't have found a more talented artist who is very professional as well. Merci!
