The room feels relaxed but musically alive when Jamaal Sugars builds rhythmic guitar and live loops around a song. His acoustic solo style depends on creative arrangements, giving familiar material a personal shape through guitar and looping. Influences stretch from Beatles, Eric Clapton and Dire Straits to Backstreet Boys, Dua Lipa and Outkast. That range gives your wedding scope to move between an intimate setting and something more lively while keeping one performer at the centre. The moment to hear Jamaal is as drinks begin, when the detail in the guitar and looping still has room around it.

Good to know
On the day
Jamaal Sugars turns up with everything: guitar, looping rig, sound, the lot. What he needs from the venue is small. A flat area, dry, with a power point he can reach. That's genuinely it. Outdoors is fine as long as the spot stays dry and the ground is even under the gear. Point him at the corner you want the music coming from and he'll set up there.
