"We booked Harry 3 weeks or so before our wedding after I heard him singing in Reading town centre. Harry had 2 other gigs but was still able to do a set which was perfect for our drinks reception. We were not organised so we hadnt actually had a chance to reconfirm details or suggest songs before meeting Harry on the day. Despite us being not organised Harry was on time and ready to go, we had a quick chat and he played to the mood of event. He did this perfectly and lots of people were asking whwre we had found him and we enjoyed his music. We have added his details onto our photos for the day so I hope peiple book him from this. He is very talented and was brilliant to work with. Thank you!!"

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.
