About Biddy

West End and award winning piano vocalist and live singer for weddings & events across the UK.
Singer
Chesterfield
Public liability insurance of £10 million

Direct from the West End I am an experienced vocalist based in North Derbyshire. I am available for an array of events from wedding ceremony singing to event and overseas work. Nothing is too big or small! I have a passion for quality singing and that is what you will get with me. We will work together on what your ideal set will look and sound like and make sure that your big day or event is spectacular! Choose from either acoustic piano vocals at your ceremony to a full day catered for. I can provide full PA, lighting (everything PAT tested and full insurance!), party sets and playlist services. I used to work as an events planner in another life so I got you! Brides- we will work together to achieve what you want on a reasonable budget and I usually learn a few requests for each big day as standard…Simply ask and I shall try and help. My current and previous show and CVcredits include: Under The Covers Function Band (lead vocalist), Lack Of Commitments (backing vocalist), One Night In Texas (UK theatre tour, currently). The Chicago Blues Brotthers (lead vocalist 2018-2022)The Greatest Show: Songs From Hollywood (Liverpool Arena, 2018), Chicago Blues Brothers: Back In Black UK & Ireland Tour (2018), White Christmas (Ireland tour, 2013). I have also worked overseas for Thomson Gold and Thomson Couples as a vocalist and also as an entertainment manager overseeing the various products in destinations such as Greece, Egypt, Spain and even Lapland! After 10 seasons overseas from 2009-15, I moved back to the U.K. to work in music and I also teach Musical Theatre in a renowned performing arts college. My U.K. clients include Haven, Pontins, Best Western Hotels, Mercure Hotels, Envied Events, Third Floor Events, Bearfoot Promotions, BBC and many more. Internationally I have worked for amazing venues such as The Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and the deluxe 5 star Premier Le Reve resort in Egypt. Biddy trained at NIDA (Sydney) in Acting, Colchester University Centre (Musical Theatre) and holds an Associates from the London College of Music in Music Theatre.

Biddy brought a taste of Americana to our event and our attendees loved it! Despite only having a small audience for her, she filled the room and created a great atmosphere that got people up and dancing. Her voice is incredible and was talked about by all our guests, so much so that we booked her for the second event too! Highly recommend Biddy for your special occasion.

Biddy performed at the BHBN Radio 70th Anniversary Roadshow in August 2022. Her range of songs is amazing and performed with such professionalism and enthusiasm. Biddy was also so very kind and helpful during the evening whist she waited to perform. She is a lovely lovely lady and we would not hesitate invite her to perform at any of our functions again. David Horton Vice Chairman BHBN Radio (Birmingham Hospital Radio Network).

Customer questions

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

Timings are fine to change- obviously if it was an evening event and now you also require the afternoon we will have to chat but I'm pretty easy going!

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

Yes absolutely- I used to work as an events and entertainment manager for TUI and ran their entertainment concepts so I know how to keep a night going. This is at an extra cost.

How much time do you need to set up?

I advise a set up 1 hour before guests arrive, it generally takes me about 15-20 mins to set up and sound check.

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

Yes- please do! Helps me then plan my set's for you. Although I do have years of entertaining experience, every one has different tastes. If you like say country or rock music do let me know as I can cater to most things.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, full P/A, lighting etc everything is PAT tested and certified too.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

For a small fee yes- up to 3 new songs per event.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Not to sound big headed but definitely my voice- I lead a big old touring show that has hit the west end and international stages and know how to hold my own. They also tend to find me quite amusing and I like to keep it light hearted and most importantly fun.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

On tour I have been lucky to perform in venues such as Liverpool and Belfast Arenas, Edinburgh Playhouse, The Savoy Theatre in London's West End and many festivals across the UK and overseas. I have previously also performed for the BBC and UEFA at events.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I am pretty old school when it comes to influencers! My first loves were Connie Francis, Doris Day and Judy Garland. Then as a teen I discovered Pat Bentar, Heart, Joan Jett, Melissa Etheridge and I tend to listen to big belty female vocalists such as Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Whitney...Whatever I can sing along to really!

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

There are far too many venues! I have been blessed to be part of a show that hits some big venues and festivals across the globe!
