Katie's Reviews

5 out of 5

Katie sung in a production of Bizet's Carmen that I conducted at the Into Opera Festival 2023, running from 8th - 16th July. She sung, danced and acted her way through the show with flair and professionalism. Katie sings with strong musicality and sensitivity, and is engaging to watch perform. She was consistently reliable; always on time and ready to work. I would recommend Katie for your event without hesitation.

Katie did such a fantastic job performing at our wedding ceremony. We didn’t really know what we wanted but Katie’s suggestions were really helpful, even a few surprises! It was also great to have Katie leading the hymns which gave our guests the confidence to join in with some old favourites. Katie was extremely professional and confident in her delivery, I knew we didn’t need to worry about a thing when it came to the music - which we were so grateful for with so many other things to worry about! Thanks again! Emma and Charlie

Customer questions

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

That's okay - just let me know as soon as possible and I'll let you know ASAP if there's any issue. Slight variations of time shouldn't cause any issue.

How much time do you need to set up?

I will only need approximately 15 minutes to warm up and try out the piano/keyboard if relevant in advance.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Absolutely! If there's something else you want, there is a good chance I will know it or can easily learn it, so don't be afraid to make suggestions! If it's something especially tricky, this might incur a fee.
