Hi there once again. My name is Dylan Mascarenhas and I am a professional musician. I have been involved in music in one way or another since the age of 15. I had started my musical career in Bahrain whilst in school. Since 1986, I have been involved on the professional scene. My package is me, myself & I on vocals playing either the electric guitar or keyboards depending on the venues requirements. If need be, I could also expand to a duo or trio, in which case I would use a guitarist for the duo & a percussionists and guitarist for the trio.

During my professional career, I have had the pleasure of playing on cruise liners, hotels, pub's, wine bars, social clubs, golf clubs & private functions, in U.K and abroad. Proofs of these are in the many letters of recommendations that I have collected and have kept in my possession and if need be can be produced. I have performed on the "Royal Viking" cruise liners which are based in Norway. These, like the Cunards and the P&O's, cruise worldwide. I have played out in Fuerteventura, in the Canaries, in a five star Hotel called "Tres Islas". This was part of the great "Iberotel" chain of worldwide hotels. Back in the U.K, I have had the pleasure of performing   at the "Hilton" chain of hotels in and outside the   London area. Here are few of them; The Regents Park Hilton, The Kensington Hilton, Park Lane Hilton, The Olympia Hilton, The Watford Hilton, The Wembley Hilton, The Swindon Hilton, The Bracknell Hilton and   The Bristol Hilton. I, at present still perform in pubs, clubs and wine bars in and around London.

From 1996, I have been performing every Tuesday and Thursday at "Tarantinos", in Hornchurch - Essex. Every 1st and last Wednesday I perform in the city at a spanish place called "Barcelona". The other wednesdays, I am at a place called "Vojan", which is in Ongar, Essex. On Sunday afternoons, I perform in Ashford - Middlesex, at "The District Arms". The only time that I am not there is when I am performing for a private function. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights I perform at different venues all over. Since my professional career took off, I have had the pleasure of gigging seven gigs a week.

Due to the vast variety of venues I have to perform at, my repertoire tends to vary from the 1940's (e.g Al Jolson, Max Bygraves, etc), Country and Western, Line Dancing, Strict Ballroom Dancing (e.g. waltzes, foxtrots, swings, quick steps, jives, etc), Latin American (e.g sambas, cha-cha-chas, tangos, salsas, etc), Pub rock and Blues (e.g Clapton, Gary Moore, Dire Straits, etc), Soul and Motown (e.g Al Green, Otis Redding, Luther Vandross,etc) and also the 70's and party stuff (e.g Kool and the Gang, Barry White, etc). I also cater for the  Irish (e.g Joe dolan, Dominic Kirwan, Christie Moore, etc).  All the venues are totally different, so you would probably not catch me doing the same material at all the venues.

I hope I have given you a brief insight to what I am all about. My success has been built on my reputation and "word of mouth" from other satisfied clients. At every gig, I tend to put 200% into my performance. If you want to come to any of the venues, please e-mail me or phone me so I can tell you what music to expect and also the full address and times of the performance.    

If you are a would be client or an agent please go to the contact page so you can get my contact details.

Thanks,

Dylan Mascarenhas.
