Singer

Leighton Buzzard

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Josie has been performing professionally for over 10 years, starting out at the UKs leading holiday parks as an in-house entertainer and vocalist. She has since worked with many regular clients, from town councils to manor houses, large festivals to back gardens and everything in between. Josie has a song list of over 450 tracks, ranging from 1960s to the present day, across a huge range of genres- so there really will be something to suit any event and preference. A high quality vocal needs a high quality sound- which is why Josie uses top of the range equipment. A variety of PA systens & microphones are used to suit different spaces and events, and various lighting options are also available where required. All equipment is fully insured and regularly PAT tested. (Certificates available upon request).

Customer questions

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

Please get in touch to discuss availbility- usually this isn't an issue and I will always try to be as flexible as possible.

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

Yes! I can provide Background music played between sets, or I can also provide a full disco service, complete with DJ booth, more lighting, and hosting- perfect for bigger celebrations. Extra charges apply, please get in touch for details.

How much time do you need to set up?

This depends on the event. Physical set up of the equipment usually only takes 20 minutes. However for larger events such as birthdays, weddings, and corporate, I like to arrive anywhere from an hour to a few hours before hand, just to allow as much wiggle room as possible.

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

Absolutely! You can have as much or as little control over the set as you like. Some will pick out an entire set, others will pick a few favourite songs and I will build the rest of the set around that vibe. Any songs you definitely DON'T want are of course also adhered to.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! I am completely self contained, and also have battery powered options for those awkward locations with no power.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes! A minimum of 8 weeks notice is required to guarantee I can do this. This service is included in my wedding pricing, and available as an add on for other events.
