Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My clients love my ability to breathe new life into classic songs, and add originality to more modern tracks. They also love my ability to adapt my performances to any setting - be it chilled acoustic pop for a drinks reception, upbeat bangers for an evening party, or romantic ballads for the bride’s walk down the aisle, I’ve got you covered!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
The Botanist Leeds/Sheffield, EE Newcastle, Head of Steam Leeds, The Bedford London, Wakefield College, Rebound Social Leeds, Sky Lounge and Double Tree Leeds, Piccolino Wetherby, The Forum Darlington, ExCellar London
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
LeAnn Rimes, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Miley Cyrus, Maren Morris
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
O2 Academy Sheffield!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
That’s okay! Weddings and events always come with a certain amount of chance and my job is to make sure everything runs smoothly, so all you need to do is let me know as far as possible in advance.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I sadly can’t offer a DJ service, but I can offer an iPos service for between sets! Either you can provide me with a playlist you’d like me to play, or I can make one up for you based on what you like.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually only need 30 minutes to set up, as my set-up is fairly minimal. As soon as my PA is set up, I can provide a playlist to help set the atmosphere for my upcoming set!
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Of course! I encourage all clients to choose specific requests that they feel would suit their event well, but I will decide the order and how many of those songs I incorporate based on what I’ve learned from previous events about how to set the atmosphere!
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes! I bring everything needed for each performance so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I can! I’m happy to learn up to 5 additional songs depending on what you would like to include. Any additions beyond that point will carry a charge of £5 per song.
