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

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

When possible I am flexible and understanding that not everything goes exactly as planned and sometimes small changes are needed, as long as time/date isn’t effecting another booking or something important of mine it’s completely fine as long as you let me know. I tend to leave for a little space for that anyway. I’m here to make your event easier for you!

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

Please note I am a singer only who would be bringing the music along via usb or email. I could definitely add songs on but pref alongside a dj for my bookings.

How much time do you need to set up?

I’m ready to go on arrival. Please note I’m a singer only and would be bringing my music via usb for a laptop/dj etc as apposed to a band bringing my own equipment.

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

Of course! I am yet to finish my set list actually so plenty more! Please feel free to let me know a good few songs you would like and I can create the list around that.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Please note I am a singer only and preferably the venue is set for musicians with mic, speakers etc for me to turn up to and put on a show. You could ask the venue if they have had live music before and if it would be ready to go. If there is nothing at all as the space isn’t used for music we would need someone to to help with logistics.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I can definitely learn songs with enough notice. I learn songs scarily fast! But prefer time to ensure it’s really stuck in my head confidently word for word like it’s one of my fav songs!
