Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My voice - feedback regarding my singing has, on many occasions, been that my singing gave people goosebumps. People very often comment on the purity of my voice and the soothing tone.

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

I will always to try to be as flexible as I possibly can. Just let me know at the earliest possible chance of any changes and I will do all I can to accommodate.

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

I can provide recorded background music before and between sets.

How much time do you need to set up?

Usually between 15-30 minutes, depending on the venue.

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

Yes, please do. I generally like clients to indicate those that they would definitely like to hear, those they don't mind hearing and those they do not want to hear. I will then do my best to time playing the ones that are wanted to be heard at times when they're able to listen.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I have all necessary equipment, which is regularly safety tested. All I require is one plug socket for power.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I love to learn and perform songs that are special to people/couples. With enough notice, I am able to learn up to three songs per booking within the fee charged.
