Kyle Chater
Acoustic Guitar, Vocals & Bookings
Hi 👋 My name is Kyle - Lead singer, guitarist and band manager for the Snap Chaps. I'll be your point of contact through from your initial enquiry, complimentary consultation call and bespoke quoting service, leading right up to event management on the day, fronting our performance and taking requests from you and your guests!
I'm really proud to have accrued 20+ years experience in planning and performing at all types of events. Beginning my musical career at 18, with a popular wedding evening function band, I've since come to specialise full-time in acoustic entertainment options, covering everything from solo amplified, singer-guitarist shows, a range of fun amplified duo and trio options and finally co-founding the Snap Chaps - Strolling Band in 2020!
I love nothing more than leading our fantastic entertaining troupe of musicians into an event and bringing smiles to the faces of our clients and their guests alike!
Get in touch now! It would be great to have a chat and bring your party entertainment to life!
