"Lewis is a total legend. Since becoming my musical director, he has revolutionised my live project, and alongside his lead guitar skills he's created a reliable and robust Ableton playback setup.
His attention to detail and organisational abilities have been invaluable, particularly when he steps in to advance and tour manage my most important gigs. And his energy is something else - I've never seen someone jump that high on stage.
Our shows are getting bigger and more demanding; I trust him every step of the way."

"Lewis is absolutely wonderful to work with! He has been there to enhance all aspects of my project from start to finish and is driven beyond belief to make things as strong as they can be.
Musically, Lewis is very capable and talented! There hasn’t been a guitar part I’ve asked Lewis to play that he’s not delivered, or a harmony he hasn’t been able to perfectly pitch. He’s heavily contributed to my band’s IEM and backing tracks setup, been the project manager of my first headline show and is someone I can rely on to stand next to me on stage and smash a gig."

"I feel so safe when I have shared a stage with Lewis because I know his calm demeanour and energy will sail through a live show. If there are any problems, Lewis will quickly find the answers. His musical ability and dedication is inspiring, and he always arrives at rehearsals fully prepared - I know I can trust him fully to know the songs inside out.
I honestly couldn’t recommend a more wonderful addition to any team. He will never let you down professionally, but don’t be surprised if he becomes a great friend too."

"I can’t vouch for Lewis enough. He is an incredibly reliable, professional and accomplished musician who can turn his hand to anything you throw at him! He has stepped in last minute on many occasions and has always had the set list learnt.
Aside from his stellar musicianship, he’s a wonderful person and it’s always a joy to share the stage with him."

"Since getting Lewis in, my live production has stepped up another level. The introduction of a concise and industry grade playback system and Ableton session has taken the live sound to where I’ve always wanted it to be.
As well as this, Lewis is a fantastic MD with an eye for detail and a level head that ensures gig days are hassle free and slick. I hope Lewis will be a part of my project for years to come and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to any musicians I know because ontop of his expertise in the technical side of things, he’s a top bloke that is a pleasure to be around."

"I have worked with Lewis in a variety of different ways over the years - he’s played bass for us in several projects, been a playback engineer and helped us project manage our new live show - what’s even more impressive than his extremely diverse skill set is his dedication to getting each individual task done to the highest level possible. Any problem encountered is met with the enthusiasm and determination to figure out how to overcome it. Our Ableton session is rock solid.
Whether you are looking for a seasoned player who is highly adaptable or someone with the expertise necessary to help you get a new project off the ground - get in touch with Lewis!"

"Lewis was brought onto P&O Iona as an emergency dep as part of Gary Barlow’s exclusive 710 club band. The gig consists of 6 themed nights with a total of 24 sets per week and requires a huge repertoire. It was evident Lewis was an experienced pro, he came in knowing all the material and went beyond all expectations, even stepping in on bandleader duties on his second night when the singer took ill.
Not only a natural showman, he is an extremely talented and versatile musician with a lot of personality in his playing. As well as having a great ear, he is also an established orchestra musician with excellent reading ability."
- Harry Thomson
Musical director for P&O Cruises, Cunard
"Having Lewis join our band family has been nothing short of transformative. He evolved our backing track setup and it has given our band a rock-solid backbone using Ableton, significantly enhancing our performance and making our live shows far more professional and seamless. What’s more, Lewis works incredibly quickly, often with very little notice, and never considers any task too much to ask.
His playing is nothing short of brilliant—vibrant, dynamic, and full of energy. What truly sets him apart is his ability to engage with the crowd. His presence has genuinely elevated our band’s performances to the next level.
His reliability, kindness, sense of humor, and positive attitude make him an absolute joy to work with. I couldn’t ask for a better colleague or friend."
