Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My on-stage charisma and soulful vocals.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

NEC Birmingham · Royal Festival Hall · Tower Bridge · Jazz Cafe · Walkabout · Forest of Arden Golf Club · Carey's Irish Bar · Wroxall Abbey · Hogarths · Nailcote Manor · Xscape Bar · Royal Caribbean Cruises · West Midlands Golf Club · Wolverhampton Civic Hall · The Belfry Resort · British Holiday Parks · Parkdean Resorts · And many, many more

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I draw inspiration from lots of places, so it's hard to narrow it down to a short list.

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

A high-level banking event at Tower Bridge in London.

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

Let’s keep the communication going and I’m sure a little tweak here and there is not a problem at all.

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

Yes, depending on how much you need…if it is a little music before and between sets then that is no problem at all. If it is a full DJ set unfortunately we do not cover that, but we’re happy to add a playlist and let it run for an additional £100

How much time do you need to set up?

1-1.5 hours before performance

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

I will see what we can do to accommodate so let’s talk about it

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If it is not in our set currently we may still know it so please ask, if not we charge a small fee for special request upfront of £45, this just covers rehearsal time.
