Oliver Heath
UK-based acoustic singer-songwriter, live performer, freelance musician.
About Me
My name is Oliver Heath and I have worked as a performing musician for over 10 years. Primarily, I am a solo acoustic performer known for energetic live sets in which I cover a wide range of popular hits.
I have performed in venues across the UK and Europe, with most my time spent in the North of England and the Isle of Man. I offer bespoke music performances for a range of events (weddings/private parties/corporate events etc.) with sets tailored to individual bookings.
Guaranteed professionalism
A polished setlist; industry standard sound equipment; swift, self-contained set-up; consistent reliability and punctuality.
Bio
I have been passionate about playing and performing music since an early age. As a child I sang in local choirs and played first trumpet for the Westmoreland Youth Orchestra. These early experiences led me to study music at Newcastle University where I achieved a first class BA Honours. Whilst in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne I began busking in my spare time, honing my performance technique on voice and guitar. This in turn led to open mics, then regular performances. Playing regularly in pubs and clubs, I began to understand how to create an atmosphere whilst performing, crafting sets tailored to different venues. Now, as a full time performer, my intimate understanding of how to work a room and build a set guarantees a high level of professionalism per venue that I play!

Oli is a superb musician and extremely popular with our customers. He’s even performed at one of our regular couple’s wedding! He’s extremely versatile across loads of big cover classics as well as many of his original songs.
We had Oliver play for us for what was supposed to be a folk night, as it turned out we had 2 separate hen nights in and they wanted to dance. Oliver was able to change his entire set list on the spot to play to the unexpected crowd.
Probably one of the best performers we’ve had in and a complete professional. Will definitely book again and again.
Oliver Heath has played for me on a number of occasions and has never once disappointed, he always arrives early to set up and get ready for his set, of which he delivers fantastic sounds and an amazing experience for the patrons. I would highly recommend Oliver to anyone looking to fill gig slots, he always composes himself in a highly professional manner, which I can only express is hugely appreciated on every occasion.
