"⸻ We were incredibly grateful to have such a fantastic classical singer perform at my mum’s funeral. From the very first note, her voice brought a sense of peace and beauty to what was an emotional and difficult day. She sang with such grace, control, and genuine feeling that there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The purity and warmth of her voice filled the space perfectly, creating a truly moving tribute that honoured my mum in the most special way. Many of our family and friends commented afterwards on how breathtaking the performance was. It added dignity, comfort, and a deeply personal touch to the service. We cannot thank her enough for helping us say goodbye in such a beautiful way. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and compassionate classical singer for a meaningful occasion. Every one felt they needed to clap but couldn’t , looking back we wish we had clapped Thank you so much "

Can professional singers sing any song?
Whether a singer can sing a song depends mostly on their vocal range, vocal style, and musical knowledge. Vocal range is the span of notes that a singer can comfortably sing. Professional singers typically have a wider vocal range than amateur singers, which allows them to sing a wider variety of songs. However, even professional singers may have limitations in their vocal range. For example, a soprano may not be able to sing the low notes of a baritone, and vice versa. Vocal style refers to the unique way that a singer uses their voice. Professional singers often have developed their own vocal styles that are appropriate for the genres they perform in. For example, a classical singer may have a more operatic style, while a pop singer may have a more raspy or soulful style. Musical knowledge refers to a singer's understanding of music theory, harmony, and melody. Typically, professional singers are very knowledgeable about music, which allows them to learn new songs quickly and accurately. Additionally, they have a good sense of pitch and rhythm, which helps them sing in tune. In general, professional singers are able to sing a wide variety of songs, but there may be some songs that are beyond their vocal range or style. However, you should always discuss any song requests you have with your chosen singer beforehand to make sure it's something they feel they can perform well.
Do singers bring their own equipment?
It's extremely common for singers to own backing track system set ups, as well as fully contained performance equipment to bring to their performances at events. If the singer uses backing tracks, you can be confident that they'll also own amplification to bring along with them. In addition to this, many singers will also be able to provide lighting set ups too - though always best to check first in both instances if this is what you're after.
I want my singer to play an instrument as well. Is this possible?
Yes! Many singers will play an instrument to accompany themselves, like a guitar or piano (or even the accordion!). They'll most likely mention this on their profile, as well as links to videos showcasing their skills.
