Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love how interactive I am with all their guests. For me it's as much about creating a party atmosphere as it is about the singing, an that means including all the guests, from the youngest to the oldest!
I'm also extremely flexible when it comes to timings and repertoire!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Highlights of my performance career include singing at:
The Royal Opera House
The Tower of London
Greenwich Painted Hall
Glastonbury Festival
Handel House
Syon House
Doncaster Corn Exchange
Simpsons Restaurant
Corporate clients include:
Snapchat
Sainsburys
Selfridges
Beefeater Gin
Zoopla
Deloitte
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I love a very wide variety of music, but singing-wise I adore Ella Fitzgerald, I think her silky smooth vocals just cant be beaten!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Singing in The Royal Opera House was quite special! However I love all my gigs and I treat every show as if it were The Royal Opera House!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible, we all know things can change in the planning process. I will try my utmost best to cater to any changes.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes this is not a problem! I often get asked to provide music in between my sets and am happy to do this.
If you do want to use my PA system for a DJ service after my set then I do make an additional hourly charge for my time.
How much time do you need to set up?
I like to be set up before your guests arrive ideally. If you let me know when they are coming then I will insure my soundcheck is done before then. It normally takes me half an hour to set up my gear and check my sound, and after that I can provide a free playlist service for while your guests enter.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
If there are any particular songs from my set list you would like, please do ask. I also offer packages for certain eras and styles. For example: Gatsby, rock and roll, 60's, disco, or a mix of great music.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, of course, and you can choose either a vintage style silver microphone or handheld wireless microphone.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If there is anything not on my set list you would like to hear, do enquire. I might already know it or with enough notice might be able to learn it for your event. There is a £30 fee for this to cover rehearsal time.
