About Catie

'Timeless Vocals'- versatile singer working across the UK and beyond to provide the perfect soundtrack to your event. Guaranteed to impress!
Singer
Hertfordshire
Public liability insurance of £10 million
Verified profile

I have worked for a number of years as a lounge and events singer throughout the UK, offering a choice of mood setting playlists ranging from vintage jazz and soul classics to contemporary favourites. I can perform solo with professional quality backing tracks or with live musical accompaniment- the choice is yours! I have hundreds of songs in my repertoire and sets can be tailored to your preferences. Lounge Jazz This un-intrusive collection of jazz classics is the perfect way to add a touch of class to your event. Lounge If you're after something a bit more contemporary, this collection of some of the most beautiful soul, lounge and mellow pop classics is great to set a mellow mood. A selection of songs of these styles can also be offered as a live solo piano/vocal set pending venue limitations. Tailored Cabaret If you're after more of a 'performance' atmosphere, I also offers a number of tailored Cabaret and party sets. Audience favourites include modern chart toppers with a 'Postmodern' vintage twist, Musical Theatre Classics, and Wartime Nostalgia. I am happy to tailor cabaret sets to clients requests, and have previously created 'Classic Bond: 00-Heaven', 'Girl Power!', 'Christmas Crackers' and many more. Please get in touch to discuss specific requirements. Party/Disco I also offer full party and disco sets, bringing the full energy of a live performance to your favourite funk, disco, pop and dance anthems; perfect as an alternative to a DJ if a live band isn't within your budget! A 'classic' or 'modern' preference can be given and I will tailor the perfect set for your event. Classical/Crossover To add a touch of elegance to your event, why not book a 'crossover' set- featuring songs from Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra, Sarah Brightman and more as well as some beautiful classical favourites, this set offers an easy listening venture into the beauty of classical singing. Weddings Music is an essential element to every wedding, and I have been privileged to work with hundreds of happy couples. From ceremony music to cocktail hour vibes, first dances to late night dance floor fillers, I can work with you to make sure that everything is exactly as you dreamed. More complex wedding Packages can include: Pre-Ceremony Music Specifically selected Performance Pieces during the ceremony Reception Arrival 'Lounge' Set Dinner Jazz First Dance (song selected by you!) Evening Cabaret Late night Disco I can provide full PA for venues of up to 200 people and basic disco lighting where needed, or work with sound and lighting companies to provide more complex set ups on request. I can also provide a DJ service for between sets to ensure that there is never a part of your event without the perfect soundtrack!

Catie sang at our wedding reception, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Catie sang swing music and her voice complemented the songs beautifully. The guests and staff at the venue were all impressed, the venue hoping to book for events during the year. Thank you Catie for making our day so special.

What a phenomenal evenings entertainment from Cat! She set the mood perfectly with her classic Jazz and then got everyone up and dancing for the evening disco. Such a treat for a big birthday celebration. 100% recommend booking her- you will not be disappointed!

Sensational is not a word I would use lightly but Cat was just that! We had a late summer/early Autumn house party for 60 family & friends and Cat entertained us all afternoon with her beautiful voice and wide range of songs to suit the mood. Everyone commented on how great she was particularly a couple of professional musicians we had as guests. I will definitely be booking Cat for our next celebration.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients regularly compliment my 'beautiful' voice, and the way I pitch my performances perfectly to provide the required level of either performance or 'ambiance' for their events.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at venues of all sizes around the country, from back gardens to hotels, night-clubs and castles! The most prestigious venues I have performed at include Wembley Stadium, the Royal Albert Hall and Abbey Road Studios.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I adore the timeless vocals of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, but also take inspiration from a mixed bag of others such as Peggy Lee, Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones and Aurora.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I once performed for the late Queen Elizabeth at her home in Windsor- definitely one for the memory banks!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I will always try to accommodate minor changes to bookings and to be as flexible as possible, so please just let me know if your plans change slightly. Within the existing booking time I'm very happy to make adjustments even once the event is underway to accommodate any last-minute requirements!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Absolutely, I will always provide playlists to run from the agreed start time and between my sets as part of the quoted price. If you'd like additional DJ service through my system after my final set, this is certainly something that I can provide. Pending booking lengths, this may be charged at an additional £60 per hour, get in touch for a full quote!

How much time do you need to set up?

I require a minimum of 30 minutes set up time for small events, and 1 hour for larger events. As soon as my PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for my live performance!

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

I will of course take your lead on the styles of music that you want to be performed at your event. My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what will work for your event (and leave out any songs that you hate!)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring absolutely everything I need, even down to the extension cables! All I require is access to a power socket, and a covered performance area if the weather isn't looking great,

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song lists there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc, however, within my wedding package this is already included!
