Hi! We’re Songbird and the crow, but you can call us Issy and Alan. Issy is 24 years old and has a little boy with Down Syndrome (so she’s great with kids!) and Alan (Maybe 32, maybe 62, it changes every time you ask haha!) has a fur baby (so he’s good with animals!). We’d love to have a chat with you over the phone or email - no obligation- before you decide whether we’re the right fit for you as there’s lots more to see than just our profile :) We’d like to take the opportunity now to try and tell you as much about us as possible, so please do carry on reading! Issy has loved music since the age of 5 when she started keyboard lessons. Then at the age of 10 she started singing and guitar lessons too. She gets so much positive feedback of people saying how therapeutic her voice sounds to them, and just how angelic it is. She loves to share this experience with as many people as possible to help make their time at the event // occasion as memorable as possible. She loves seeing smiling faces, and loves people singing along too! She loves performing with Alan, we’re a bit like peanut butter and jelly! We shouldn’t get along but for some reason, we do! :) Issy holds many qualifications in relation to music and performance. She has a DDM in Level 3 music practice, as well as Grade 8 singing in ABRSM (which is a classical board but comes in handy in all genres we sing.) We don’t think that paper qualifications are the only thing that matter though, so we wanted to let you know that Issy has over 10 years experience performing to people at Weddings, charity events, beer festivals and birthday parties! She’d love to venture into corporate events and make connections in that industry as she’s never done it before. When Issy was asked what her 3 performing highlights are to date, she said they were; 1) At the age of 15 the bar I played at was so packed I had to jump over the bar and jump back down, being caught by the headline band playing the other side so I could provide interval entertainment! 2) My first wedding. I sang as the bride walked down the aisle, and whilst they were signing their document. I also sang at their reception drinks! Everyone was so happy, even though I was just backing music, the atmosphere was buzzing and so lovely to be a part of! 3) A beer festival I played last year. I met lots of new people, a moody neighbour of the bar didn’t make a noise complaint, they actually said how lovely it was to hear me, and the staff started dancing on the bar! Let’s not forget about Alan, when asked why he performs music he said “to meet new people and go to new places and to share the fun that music brings.”. He loves to chit chat and get to know the people he’s playing for if the opportunity arises. He also loves watching everyone enjoy themselves whilst just listening or joining in too! Although Alan doesn’t hold any formal qualifications, we said earlier that they aren’t everything. Alan has had years of practice to develop a wide range of styles, such as folk, blues, pop, rock and roll, and indie, and a variety of songs in his repertoire, so if you request a song, there’s a 99.2% chance he’s going to know it. Alan was also asked what his top 3 performing highlights are, his response was; 1) meeting people. I love meeting people and talking about them to get to know their wants and wishes. I Also like meeting the audience and talking in the breaks so see how they’re finding things and asking them about themselves. 2) to see people singing and dancing to my performance. There’s nothing more enjoyable to know that you’re providing a great service that everyone is enjoying! 3) I love sharing the music and experience with my singing partner and having fun. It makes every performance special and it’s impossible to choose 1 to highlight. We’re going to stop talking now, but I hope this helps to find out whether we’re right for your event! We’d love to talk more before you make a decision, just drop us an email, they’re checked about 10 times a day so you’ll get a pretty swift response! If you decide we aren’t the right fit, then thank you for considering us and we hope you have a great event! :)

We asked songbird and the crow to preform at our annual themed party held within our home for people suffering from a mental health condition, this included family and friends, young and old attended and all throughly enjoyed. They did not disappoint! We all had a wonderful time. Highly recommend. Excellent performance and lots of laughs we’re had by all. Nothing was too much trouble and they built a wonderful report with all who attended on and off set. We can not wait to have them back soon!
