Hire James | Singer in Perth

Q: What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients often state their love of the versatility and richness to my voice, stating that it lends itself to so many different genres. A recent review I received was "You don't sing the songs. You bring them to life and draw the emotions out of the lyrics and put them right in front of our faces"

Q: Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Turtle Island- Zakynthos Wedding - First Dance and Bridal March. Showcased just off the London West End for larger London-based agencies.

Q: Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Ben Howard Jack Johnson Newton Faulkner The Amazing Devil Ziggy Alberts Wardruna Aurora Meat Loaf Billy Joel Elton John Bullet for my Valentine Falling in Reverse Alter Bridge Disturbed Johnny Cash Brad Paisley Michael Bublé Paolo Nutini Nickelback Foo Fighters

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

I have yet to perform at any gigs that would be considered "high profile"

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

Changes happen, and a lot of these can't be helped. I will always try 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 me know.

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

Absolutely. Whether this is through your own personal Spotify playlist or one of my pre-made events playlists, this is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free during my breaks. If you'd like a DJ service via my PA after the final set until the venue/event ends, I can provide this for an additional £100. Message for more info

Q: How much time do you need to set up?

We usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time so I can sound check my setup. As soon as the PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for the live performance

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

Of course! I will need at least 7 days notice on what these choices are so I can make sure they are absolutely perfect for your event

Q: Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes absolutely! I will bring my own microphone and cables (with backups) and personal PA speaker with a device for backing tracks. I can also play a small amount of songs on guitar, but this is special request only and will cost more

Q: Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included on my song list, there may still be a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
