Benjamin Parker

Overview

Birmingham based acoustic guitarist and vocalist Benjamin is an award winning Singer/Songwriter and Multi instrumentalist from the West Midlands who has supported the likes of Eric Clapton, John Mayer, The Block heads, Ellie Golding ,The Christians, Biffy Clyro, and Mark Knofler to name a few.

Benjamin’s solo show is a finely put together mix of modern covers, Flamenco, nu soul, and alternative folk. His versatility allows him to easily switch between performing popular covers from various artists, such as The Police, Jack Johnson, Chris Isaak, Jason Mraz, Take that, Stevie wonder and The Beatles to classical and Spanish Rhythm Guitar.

Ben is just as comfortable performing at small intimate venues and parties as he is to performing live at Football stadiums and arenas of over 36,000 people.

Ben also uses state of the art technology in the form of the Boss loop station and performs multi ensemble work with Acoustic and Electric guitars, bass guitar and multiple harmonies for creating live contemporary sound-scapes incorporating flamenco grooves and funky bass lines which create a modern and sophisticated backdrop to any event.

?Benjamin Parker has been an integral part in creating an effective pre-show experience for our customers at the LG Arena. His numerous performances in Forum Live have always been of the highest quality and he has never failed to draw in a large and captivated crowd with his unfaltering vocals and remarkable guitar playing skills. It's not only Ben's musicianship and ability to delight an audience that have had us book him over and over again, it's also his professionalism and versatility when tailoring his sets to certain audiences. Not many artists could perform a set before both a Red Hot Chilli Peppers show and an Andrea Bocelli show and still have the crowds as entertained as Ben has. When it came to choosing an artist to take down to the Savoy in London for our annual 'Promoters Lunch', Ben was the undisputed choice to play in front of our most important clients and everyone came back from that event raving about Ben's performance.?

?I recently used Benjamin Parker for a Corporate Networking Event, pitching the entertainment at the right level was critical and Ben did this perfectly! I would definitely recommend Ben and would definitely use him again! Thank you Ben!?

?Benjamin Parker is a fantastic multi instrumentalist who is as at home playing and singing to vast crowds or hosting a successful event as he is navigating a modern recording session. His knowledge of music genres is exemplary, and he is a beautiful, exceptional human being with high moral codes. It's a real pleasure to know him and his music?

?I've know about Benjamin Parker since he popped up on a project I ran in 2009/10, documenting local musicians for the British Library. The project was curated by local music industry professionals, and Ben's contribution was an outstanding intelligent piece. Since then I've watched him perform in a range of line-ups. In addition to being and exceptionally able and knowledgeable musician, it's clear to me that he understands audiences just as well as he understands the musicians he works with.

Had a great time on my birthday! Ben was great, just what I was after! Loads of people commented on how good he was so please pass on my thanks! Kind regards, Charlie

Just back from 2 weeks in Mexico! Ben was brilliant, many of our guests commented on how good he was. Feel free to add my comments to Bens page as, honestly, he is great!! Thanks again for everything! xx

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure Benjamin Parker, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with Benjamin Parker and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with Benjamin Parker around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for Benjamin Parker. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from Benjamin Parker and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm Benjamin Parker's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
