Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The majority of clients have always remarked on the personable qualities I bring to a performance. I'm there to entertain so I like to bring a little humour to my shows, to involve people (who want to be involved of course!) and to give 150% to every performance.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Previous venues include Holiday Parks (Haven, Park Resorts, Parkdean), Portsmouth Guildhall, Ronnie Scotts, Thames Citycruises, Rivoli Ballroom - London, Marriott Hotels, DeVere Hotels, plus a vast range of other Hotel venues, pub/club/wine bars, restaurants, social clubs, care homes and private house parties.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Ella Fitzgerald, Caro Emerald, Stevie Wonder, Anastacia, Eva Cassidy, Patsy Cline. I have a wide ranging musical taste and continue to expand my influences every day :-)

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

In my mind they have all been high profile. I give exactly the same high level / qulaity of performance for every show I do :)

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

All bookings will be confirmed with a contract signed by both myself and the client, but playing times can be negotiable within reason. I always endeavour to be flexible to help ensure you event runs smoothly.

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

Background music via iPod/CD will be provided before/between live sets as required. Please get in touch to discuss your event details.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually need about 1 hour to load in and set up, and approx 6ft square to set up in, but this can be negotiable within reason if space and setup time is tight.

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

My live sets are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I'm always happy to chat with clients in advance and they are very welcome to choose 6-8 songs they would specifically like included from my repertoire.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Absolutely. I am 100% fully self contained. All I need is a safe Mains power outlet.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my repertoire I will always endeavour to learn it in advance. This will be dependant of course on whether or not I can reproduce it successfully (i.e. if I can source a backing track that's in a good key for my range) but if I cannot I will ensure the original version in included instead.
