Zac’s Guitar Jukebox

Live one man show from The Proclaimers’s guitarist. You choose from over 150 songs. Perfect for parties and weddings.

Zac’s Guitar Jukebox is my one man show with acoustic and electric guitar. The show is interactive. It is you the audience who choose the tunes I’ll play that night. A “menu” of nearly 200 songs is handed to the audience with a piece of paper and a pencil.  You choose the music from the menu and hand in your order.  Or shout it out if you prefer. 

Incorporating 30 years of playing songs from all genres in all sorts of gigs, from festivals to auditoriums, clubs to theatres there’s something for everyone. I’ve learnt these songs for pleasure, to join bands or do one off events. They are often songs that I love and had to learn every part before it would stop haunting me.  Ballads and jazz stand proudly alongside dirty blues and spiky punk as well as some classic indie, pop and rock.  Guitar solos are true to the original or outrageous reinterpretations. Random medleys are created through the set from the titles given to me by the audience and as the crowd get more involved they start to shout out songs not on the list.  But sometimes those tunes are somewhere in the back of the jukebox and a wee reminder from the internet makes for a spontaneous musical moment. I’m happy as an old song has been rediscovered and the punter is happy as I’ve just played his wife’s favourite tune.

I highly recommend Zac as a production and mixing teacher and consultant. Thanks to his expert guidance, my productions and mixes have gone from good to truly professional.

Zac’s vast knowledge, coupled with his patience and personalized approach, makes him the best tutor I’ve worked with. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, Zac can help you elevate your sound to the next level.

Zac has done a brilliant job with the recording, production, and mixing of my songs, and his instrumental skills have taken them up to a whole new level - truly a 'one-stop shop'. He is also lovely to work with, taking a huge amount of care on the best way to interpret my compositions.

Miranda

I co-wrote and recorded two songs with him at Meadows Lane Studio with Zac. He is a spectacular vocal producer, as a singer I loved working with him, he really guided me so well when recording my vocals on both tracks. He's a spectacular musician, producer, writer, collaborator and human! He is an absolute delight to work with. Hi curiosity, open mindedness and attention to detail are spectacular. I cant wait to work with him again next year.

Totally amazing inspirational teacher with huge amounts of patience. Meadows lane is a lovely creative studio space. Zac's talent and enthusiasm is a total joy."

Anna Barclay - Parent of pupils

I am really enjoying my lessons with Zac. He teaches out of a well-equipped dedicated studio in his garden. Zac emphasises good technique and it took a few weeks to learn to correct my right hand but now that I have done so I can see real improvement. Above all the lessons are fun and I never fail to come away enthused to carry on playing. Thoroughly recommended.

Johnathan Howes - pupil

Into month 2 of my lessons with Zac. He seemed to get what I was looking for straight away. Great combination of bringing theory into practice, for example explaining why a particular riff sounds right, a great basis for then doing your own creative thing. Also very practical advice on right and left hand (and arm) technique. I'm learning a lot and see myself carrying on with Zac for a long time yet. I thoroughly recommend anyone wanting to advance their guitar playing to give Zac a try!

Bob Tyrell - pupil

Zac is a great teacher. He shares his knowledge and experience enthusiastically. He's very patient and makes me feel relaxed during the lesson. I always leave my lesson feeling motivated and ready to play guitar! His rate is very competitive especially for the talent and knowledge that he shares so expertly. I would highly recommend.

Sally Driver - pupil

Zac is a great teacher. I began learning during lockdown and continue lessons to this day on a weekly basis. He is patient and enthusiastic and will teach you to play the songs that you want to learn as well as teaching music theory. I would highly recommend Zac.

Paul V

Zac is a great teacher. His music knowledge is impressive and he always finds the way to adjust the style and complexity level to the student's skills level.
