Pip’s Jukebox was born in Bristol in 2008 after I realised I had a peculiar capacity for remembering song lyrics. It involved me sitting on a chair in Carnyville and playing songs for 10 pence a pop on guitar. Back then it was mostly West Coast rap and Leonard Cohen…

Then I turned a garden trolley into a booth and went along to a few festivals to try it out. Since those early days I have played at many festivals up and down the country including Shambala, Secret Garden Party, End of the Road, Green Man and Glastonbury. I began to add lots more artists to my repertoire, like Prince and Lana del Rey…

Now I am venturing into new territories, including wedding parties, community fayres, birthday celebrations and even wakes! So if you fancy furnishing your occasion with a human jukebox, I’m always happy to oblige. Love from Pip.
