Carmen's Reviews

5 out of 5

We hired Carmen for a private party. She was a joy to deal with and the group loved her performance. She did requests, got everyone up to dance and made it a great success

5 out of 5

Carmen was exactly what my event needed. She helped craft the song list after we chatted on the phone and it worked perfectly to both entertain and inject a positive party atmosphere. I got many comments from my guest both during and after about both her vocal talents but also her vibe she projected. She had us dancing and cheering, would definitely hire her again.

It was a joy to work with you and I was impressed by your professional attitude and dedication".

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love my energy, vibrancy, client focused service and genuine desire for their event to me momentous. They love the song choices and everyone leaving on a high. I give it all I've got for my clients.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have had the privilege to perform at the BBC, Roundhouse, Richmix, Bullingdon, Canterbury Catherdral, Queen's Jubilee, Parliament and beautiful estates around Oxfordshire.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I am massively influenced by Whitney Houstons vocal tone, Dolly Parton's storytelling, Tina Turner's energy, Tasha Cobb's power Gospel vocals and more recently Raye's eclectic genre blending musicianship.

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

The most high profile gig I performed at was for the Queen's Jubilee. This was a special event as I sang lead as part of an ensemble. For a solo gig - The Roundhouse London was very special. Being filmed by Crackit Productions for a Channel 4 special was also a highlight.

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

You can let me know at least a month before if the date changes and I'll do my best to accommodate. I can be flexible with timings for the day with at least 48 hours.

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

I can provide a playlist service where you plug in your device to my PA system and play the playlist of your choice. I would need to know your requests a month BEFORE the event.

How much time do you need to set up?

Please allow 45 minutes to an hour for set up time. We usually take 30 minutes but it's safer to allow for an hour to get in and set up.

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

You can indeed collaborate with me for your set list. I'll do my best to accommodate requests within reason. You can choose 10 songs from the playlist and send over 3 songs you wish for me to learn at least 8 weeks prior to the event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I am self sufficient with my equipment and can also bring a sound engineer for an extra fee. I DO NOT provide a stage or gazebo. If this is something you'd like me to organise, I can hire one at an extra cost to you with 2 months notice.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If you book me at least 6 weeks in advance, I can learn up to 3 extra songs for the performance. If I am booked within the month of the event, I'll be able to learn 1 song. There is a fee of £40 extra to learn the extra songs.
