We booked Emma to play during our drinks reception at our wedding. We are so pleased we did, she was friendly, fun and entertaining for our guests. Our 10-year-old daughter requested to sing a song with Emma and she was more than happy to support her with the song choice. My only regret was not spending more time enjoying the music (as we were off having couples photos). Thank you Emma, you were amazing xx

Wow! Emma turned a great night into a fantastic one. She played through the end of our 25th Anniversary meal and then, as requested, managed to get everyone up and dancing. She pitched the music perfectly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the evening. Very easy to communicate with, a beautiful voice and truly professional performer. We have had so many requests for her details and we are more than happy to recommend her. Thank you, Emma, for making it a really memorable occasion, we had so much fun. Lisa and Simon

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

I give everything. I will do my utmost to make sure the event is really special. I'm punctual and professional and enjoy it when you are left feeling happy :o)

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've played to 55,000 at Carfest, similar at BBC Live in Hyde Park! I've also busked on the streets of Manchester for charity, in the middle of the pacific ocean on a ship and all over the world, gigging is my life!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love so many artists and musicians. Hard to choose just one. Some of the artists who influenced my original music are; John Mayer, Taylor Swift and The Corrs.

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

Probably touring with Wet Wet Wet, or supporting Take That in front of 50,000 people. I headlined the BBC Introducing Stage at Hyde Park too, which was on Radio 2, live on TV and a huge festival performance. :o)

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

I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.

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

If requested in advance :o)

How much time do you need to set up?

No more than 15/20 minutes :o)

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

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I'm happy to chat and make sure I find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
