Kathryn's Reviews

5 out of 5

Kathryn performed at our charity music festival on 25th July 2026. She is an amazing singer with a beautiful soulful voice, she sang covers but added her own personal touches to make them unique. I would highly recommend Kathryn for events, weddings, corporate events 🥰🌟 A massive thank you to Kathryn for giving up her time to help raise money for charity. 🤩

Book Kathryn for your next party—you won't regret it! She sang at my birthday and was an absolute highlight. What impressed me most was how attentive she was: she crafted a tailored set list of covers based on our earlier chats, singing everything from my favourite 80s classics to my current obsession, Olivia Dean. Beyond her lovely voice, her energy was magnetic - she had everyone up on their feet, dancing and singing along with her all night. I definitely recommend booking her for your next event!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients love my friendly, approachable demeanour and the upbeat energy I bring to every room. I take pride in crafting set lists that build naturally, taking the audience on a journey from engaging background tunes to high-energy, crowd-pleasing sing-along tracks and dance-floor hits that get everyone moving.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I mainly perform at bars, lounges, and private events across Yorkshire, and North Lincs, - including venues like The Distillery (Wakefield), The Hourglass (Halifax), and private parties. From chilled background tunes for receptions to high-energy dance sets for evening parties, I bring polished sound and warm crowd engagement.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Raised on my parents’ 60s–80s Motown, soul & disco, I grew up with a deep love for legends like Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston & Etta James. The 90s and 00s brought my obsession with pop icons like Britney Spears & the Spice Girls! Today I blend those nostalgic roots with modern influences like Olivia Dean & Miley Cyrus to create fun, energetic setlists.

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

Performing on stage at the iconic O2 Academy Liverpool with Ian Prowse for his annual Christmas show - after recording backing vocals on his studio album - and joining some tour dates this year. This large-scale stage experience gives me deep vocal confidence and professionalism, which I bring directly to my solo gigs and private events.

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

I'll always try to be flexible to ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible - slight changes should be no issue at all. Please just contact me with details to 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 as part of most packages between sets. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue closes, this can be provided for an additional fee of

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up between 45 minutes and 1 hour before a performance time, though for larger events this can be up to 1 hour 30 minutes before. Once I know more about your event and venue, we can discuss this in more detail.

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

My set lists are carefully chosen to ensure they work for your vibe and venue. However, I'm happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event!

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes - I bring my own Bose Compact PA System and all associated cables etc. If your venue has 'plug-and-play' capabilities, I can also work with this!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't already in my song list, I can learn it! For wedding packages, an Aisle song and/or First Dance song is included in the fee, but for other requests there is a fee of £30 per song for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
