Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients are happy with the versatility of my sets. From jazz standards for those who like jazz but don't know lots of songs (these set lists always engage the listener with hits they're familiar with) to jazz covers of popular songs which keep the listener on their toes trying to name the song whilst knowing the lyric!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

The Royal Albert Hall - London Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club - London Pizza Express Jazz Club - London Vortex Jazz Club - London The Concorde Club - Eastleigh Southsea Jazz Club Spinaker Tower - Portsmouth Chenies Manor House - Buckinghamshire Hestercombe House - Somerset Greylingwell Chapel - Chichester

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

As a jazz, I have been most influenced by Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Nancy Wilson. As a singer/guitarist, I often emulate a similar vibe to Katie Melua, Madeline Peyroux and the style of Post Modern Jukebox.

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

I performed at The Royal Albert Hall infront of 6000 audience members and a 6 million tv audience.

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

I will always ensure I can be as flexible as possible to help ensure your event runs smoothly so if timings do change I will adjust my performances accordingly.

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

I can provide iPod/playlist background music for your event using my PA system for free between my performance sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

I will need 1 hour to set up before performance time. As soon as the PA is up and running I can provide iPod/playlist background music to set the atmosphere.

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

You can choose the specific songs from my repertoire list and you can also request 1 extra song not on the list for me to perform. You will need to decide the set list at least 2 weeks before your event and I am happy to chat about what will sound best for your event. Alternatively I can create a custom set list for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I will provide all the equipment needed for my performance.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

You can request one song that is not on my repertoire list for no additional cost. If you would like anymore requests not on my list I'm happy to learn at an additional cost of £10 per song.
