Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My clients love how engaging I am throughout my performances. I wear my heart on my sleeve so my personality always shines through no matter the performance setting. They also love the banter that is laced through my performance sets as it makes the whole act accessible. Being a performer is not about ego - it's about sharing an experience and entertaining.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I have been very fortunate to have performed all over the UK and internationally across wedding and corporate venues, cruise ships, regional theatres, hotels, cathedrals, concert halls and castles. Venues include, Buda Castle (Budapest), Gleneagles, the Balmoral, Leeds Castle, HMS Warrior, Goodwood House, National Museum of Scotland and the Cunard Fleet.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
My influences are very varied as I strongly believe artists can (and should aspire to) learn from each other regardless of the genre they specialise in. Doing so only enhances the job which, at the end of the day, whether you sing opera or folk music, is to entertain. My main influences have been Freddie Mercury Alfie Boe, Andrea Bocelli and Hugh Jackman.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
The most high profile gig I have performed at was at a corporate dinner (250 people) for a private client in July 2019. The setting was the stunning Buda Castle in Budapest which boasts phenomenal architecture and views looking out over the Danube River and toward Pest. For this contract I performed a short set of West End classics including Bring Him Home.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
No problem, get in touch and we can discuss how best to reaccomodate the performance.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
This tends not to be necessary around the types of performances I provide.
How much time do you need to set up?
If providing my own PA, typically no more than one hour is needed to set up and sound check. If PA is provided by the client, then usually no more than 20mins.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, although certain performance packages have been specially written with a fixed set list designed for best effect. Happy to discuss all details with the client.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
I am able to provide my own PA however for larger events that are using AV company then it's much easier to use their equipment.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I can do, however this comes at a small surcharge of £25 to cover cost of learning and rehearsing the new rep and purchasing necessary high end backing track/s to perform the song to.
