Thank you for your warm welcome when I arrived and for looking after me during the evening. It was a pleasure to sing for such a lovely group of ballroom dancers.

Darren was just fantastic and transformed my Dad’s 90th Birthday Party from a pleasant family gathering to something special. His performance was perfect and every aspect of making the arrangements, choosing the song selection, arrival and setting-up, was faultless. The whole experience was a real pleasure and all the guests (and venue staff) thoroughly enjoyed hearing him perform.

Had this guy jump in to support us on a big charity do and was over the moon with his performance. He is so natural in his style and movements when he is singing all the classics of Sinatra and the crooners of the era. He is incredibly smooth but maintains the warmth needed to enhance any evening. Rich Cartwright One Drop, two tone ska band

If you want a truly class evening of Sinatra and Sinatra-esque music then look no further. Daz Sinatra provides a show the likes I haven’t seen before within this style. His charisma and amazing vocal talent will provide your function with exactly what is needed; be it a corporate dinner, wedding or birthday, no guest will leave disappointed. Make it a night to remember.

Customer questions

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

I always try my best to be flexible to make sure the event runs smoothly. If timings do change just let me know.

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

“Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.”

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually arrive a hour before start time. When the PA system is all set up I will then play music to help set the atmosphere and tone for the event.

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

I have a tried and tested set list but I don’t mind tinkering with it . If I know it l will sing it you with pleasure .

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes I certainly do .

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there’s a special song that you would like me to sing and I don’t have it and don’t know it I would be happy to learn it but there may be charge.
