Mickey's Song list

Ain’t that a kick
Almost like being in love
Amarillo
As long as I'm singing
Avenues & alleyways
Baby it’s cold outside
Beyond the sea
Blue velvet
Bojangles
Can’t get used to losing you
Can’t take my eyes off you
Chestnuts roasting
Come fly with me
Crazy little thing called love
Destiny
Everything
Eye of the tiger
Feeling good
Fly me to the moon
For once in my life
From Russia with love
Girl from Ipanema
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Hello
High hopes
It had to be you
Just the way you look
L.o.v.e
Lady is a tramp
Last waltz
Let's fall in love
Let there be love
Love and marriage
Mack the knife
Mambo Italiano
Moondance
Music to watch girls by
My way
New York
Nice & easy
Night & day
Please don't talk about me when I'm gone
Straighten up
Strangers in the night
Sway
That's all
That’s amore
That’s life
The summer wind
They can’t take that away
Under my skin
Unforgettable
We are in love
What a difference
Wonderwall
World on a string
You make me feel so young
Young at heart
With new songs constantly being added.
Customer questions

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

No problem at all - We always try our best to be as flexible as possible for your event to proceed as smoothly as possible - just get in contact and we will accommodate accordingly.

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

Absolutely, this is something I offer for free before and in-between sets. If you are looking for a full DJ set to follow seamlessly until Midnight, I offer an additional DJ package playing a full mix of party music or whatever theme you may have in mind - I also accept playlists. This is an additional £250

How much time do you need to set up?

I always allow at least 1 hour and more if the set up is more complex. I offer an early set up fee where I can arrive earlier in the day to avoid disruption for an additional £100

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

You are more than welcome to choose songs from my repertoire. My sets are constantly evolving to aim for the best balance of songs, working from years of experience - However, I'm always happy to take any suggestions.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring my own sound equipment and lighting if required for an audience of around 250/300 people

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song is not included in my repertoire, there is still a chance I may know it and my repertoire is constantly growing. If there is a special song that you'd like me to learn, I'd be happy to do this for free as long as the song is suitable or adaptable to my vocal style.

Amazing Mickey is super friendly and flexible. He swooned and entertained a mix of ages at our recent wedding and we received many compliments about him. Would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks Mickey for all your assistance and entertaining the crowds in our garden during storm Antoni . It may have been raining outside but there was definitely sun shining as we danced. Kind regards Paul and Barbara. Cambridge 8/23

Mickey provided a lovely set for our Jubilee event and was the perfect juxtaposition to the mayhem of some of the other elements of the event. He was very well received and we were more than happy with his performance

Thank you for singing so brilliantly at our wedding. All the guests can't stop commenting on how fantastic your voice is and how you really made the evening. Thanks also for DJing, you immediately knew the right songs to play and didn't talk like a lot of DJ's do. We really did have a perfect day." (Lorraine & Paul Currie)
