Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients comment on the soothing sound i create and how the autoharp adds an extra layer of enchantment and have commented that my voice has pure and angelic tones which adds to a relaxing and calming atmopshere.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have played in mainly smaller venues from theatre style halls to a restaurant and reception areas. Most memorable was a performance at Bangor Cathedral where the sound of the Autoharp was magical and my voice carried well through the amazing acoustic.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

From the past i greatly admire, Joni Mitchell, Carol King, Joan Baez and Eva Casssidy. And more modern artists I have been influenced by are Kate Rusby, Cara Dillon, Orla Garland, Birdy, Karine Palwart and Freya Ridings

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

Although for me the Cathedral was the most magical venue to perform at , as far as high profile its been St Ives Festival as the experience was not only artistically rewarding but also a testament to my ability to engage and captivate listeners through the power of music.

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

I do my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

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

I am happy to play music from a Spotify Playlist before, after and between our sets

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up about 45 minutes before the performance time.

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

My set lists can be crafted to suit your event and I am happy for you to choose from my extensive list of covers and originals or you can let me choose a set list to fit in with your type of event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I provide my own PA system but not lighting

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc. ”
