I’m sure some of you will have gigs booked for Valentine’s Day (This year: Tuesday 14th February 2017). Or have other gigs during that week. If so you will need plenty of love songs in your set to set the mood for the diners and drinkers.

So I’ve created a list of 10 easy to learn songs that you can pick up quickly. Remember, just like Irish songs for St Patrick’s Day or other themes, they can be played at other times of the year too (probably not so much Let It Snow during summer!) so the rehersal time you put in isn’t just for one gig.

These songs are ideal for wedding gigs too.

Here we go, get these in your set and you’ll be asked back next year. I’ve included a video guitar tutorial with each one – sorry if some are a bit cheesy, but they all do the job.

1. Let Her Go // Passenger

2. I’m Yoursc// Jason Miraz

3. Just The Way You Are // Bruno Mars

4. Stay With Me // Sam Smith

5. All Of Me // John Legend

6. Stand By Me // John Lennon

7. Thinking Out Loud // Ed Sheeran

8. Friday I’m In Love // The Cure

9. Wonderwall // Oasis

10. All My Loving // The Beatles

AND FOR THE MORE ADVANCED PLAYER TRY THIS:

Can’t Help Falling In Love With You //Elvis Presley
