Verified profile

An international vocalist, compère, and tribute artist with over 10 years professional experience working across a broad spectrum of the entertainment industry. Developing varied shows to the many hotels/cruise ships/festivals/bars/venues requirements be they: Full Throttle Party Set, Rock, Pop Punk, Easy Listening Jazz, Chilled Acoustic, Club Nights, Timeless Love Songs. Depending on your event I can provide floor filling favourites, a more relaxed ambient set or tailored set lists for weddings & anniversaries (first dances, special songs). My Paloma Faith, Cyndi Lauper tributes and solo shows are a firm favourite on P&O cruise ships and festivals. I also host burlesque events as my adults only alter ego Scarlett Device. A popular setlist of recent years has been the breakup/divorce party with my band. They are lots of fun! We can have a chat (over a brew if you like) about your requirements. There are many strings to my bow, a repertoire of over 500 songs, constantly growing, so I have something to suit everyone’s taste. I also work with some of the most respected and talented musicians in the country as my band line up. So you know you're in safe hands. I love working with my clients to achieve the best set list I can for you. To make your life as easy as possible you can either pick from one of my various shows (you can find those in the Repertoire section) or if you want a customised show, we can develop a bespoke set list together that is perfect for your event. Always one to aim to please, especially if it’s a special occasion, if you have any requests for me to learn just let me know. Depending on your requirements I can offer you a solo show, duo with a pianist/guitarist or band. For more information drop me a line. I look forward to making you event go off with a bang!

We feel so lucky to have had Yzzy at our birthday party. Not only was she a fabulous singer, she helped create a great atmosphere and made sure everyone had a wonderful time. Yzzy liaised with me over the playlist beforehand and was so helpful - I would definitely recommend her 💕

I booked Feel Good Inc for my joint 40th birthday party and we were so impressed. They were really professional and easy to communicate with from the point of booking and we were really impressed with the range of music included in the set list. On the night, the band really helped to create a party atmosphere with their energy and enthusiasm and the musicianship is fantastic! The dance floor was always full and it really made it a night to remember. Couldn't recommend FGI highly enough!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My Paloma Faith tribute is regarded by her fans and critics as the best Paloma Faith tribute there is. With my shows the feedback I get from my clients is the love how I tailor my performance to their needs. For dinner music I sing and make relevant formal announcements, for charity events & weddings I provide suitable hosting services. It's all about you!

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

P&O Cruises Hilton Hotels TUI Hotels Blackpool Pride Chester Pride LFest Bowlers Conference Centre Spalding Conference Centre

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Paloma Faith (obviously) Cyndi Lauper Debbie Harry The Beautiful South Dusty Springfield The Cure Erasure Tori Amos B52s Moloko Fine Young Cannibals Alanis Morissette Postmodern Jukebox

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

P&O Cruises or the Pride events

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

I 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. I'm transparent with all my clients. Sometimes I perform at 2/3 events in a day. If I have taken any other bookings on the same day of your event I will let you know to ensure logistics work out.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request, my partner is a very popular DJ on Encore. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £350. This includes a bespoke playlist tailored just for you and the options of a restricted or open request playlist.

How much time do you need to set up?

I'm usually set up about 1 to 1.5 hours before the performance time. As soon as our PA is set up I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance! Or if you've booked the DJ option my DJ will set the mood.

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

For my tributes I base them on Paloma Faith and Cyndi Lauper's live performances. However, I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure I find out what works for your event. When I'm singing I don't take on the spot requests, as lovely as it is, I'm not Spotify :)

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely! If you have an external sound crew coming in please put me in touch prior to the event so I can chat through everything with them to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in 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'm happy to do this if I can. If the track already exists it is an extra charge of £30 for rehearsal time. If the track doesn't exist I need to speak to my music producer, bespoke tracks are £100 to make.
