“Pauline has a unique style that makes you feel refreshed, happy and excited about life! Her generous heart was able to sing for our Christmas Appeal in the Christian Aid office in London and everyone commented on how great of a singer she is! We look forward to having her sing again!”

Customer questions

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 please just let me know.

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

Absolutely. This is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free - Free iPhone playlist between sets if required.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up 30 minutes (15 minutes for small busking amp) before the performance time. 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 my performance.

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

Yes. Bespoke setlists on every performance tailored to every client.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

I bring my own high quality wireless microphone or headset system. Larger PA (MAUI 11 G2 1000W) for larger audience & room or Busking amp (Roland Cube Street EX, 50W) for smaller settings.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I have a large repertoire of 200+ tracks from Classics to Current chart with regular additions of current tracks. If a song isn't included in my song list there is a chance I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to learn a song, free of charge, given there is enough time for me to practice.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients tend to love my energy and stage presence, how I can get the crowd up and dancing, including talking to the audience.
