My requirements to perform are:
- 2 metre square performing space
- A plug socket
- 1 parking space
- A cover for my PA system if it is an outside event and possibility of rain.
I am a fully self contained singer, I bring all the sound equipment I need to perform. I can provide lights too if requested.
Any specific directions would be useful, and if I can access the venue at least 1 hour before the event starts to set up. It would also be good to know if the venue operates with a sound limiter.
Yes of course, please let me know if this is what you would like.
My favourite gig to date would be singing the 'Last Night Of The Proms' at a huge festival in Little Aston. 3000 people singing back to me and waving their flags is a memory I won't forget!
My biggest influences (from a very large list) include Katherine Jenkins, Whitney Houston, Carole King, Leona Lewis, Celine Dion and Eva Cassidy
After completing my professional training, I performed in the show cast on cruise ships for 5 years. This was an incredible experience as I was able to travel to some amazing places whilst on the cruise ship. I then became a freelance wedding and events singer. I have been very lucky with the venues I have had the privilege of singing at . These have included luxury wedding venues like Clivedon House and Hatfield House.
I have now returned to my love of the sea and I perform as the headline guest act on major cruise lines. I have my own solo show, and I get flown out to join the ships to perform at incredible parts of the world.
I absolutely love singing for weddings, there is just so much love in the air. I would do it every day if I could.
Yes, I travel worldwide to sing on Cruise Ships, I am more than willing to travel abroad for your event. We would just need to discuss the arrangements of a music PA system as I would not be able to bring a lot of my equipment with me on a plane.
There are no normal performance times as this completely depends on the nature of your event! My price guides can give a helpful indication.
I usually like to arrive 1-2 hours before I sing.
Yes of course, I would ask for a suitable covering for my PA system if the weather looks like it will rain. I will also need a power supply.
Yes, you are more than welcome to choose all of the songs from my repertoire which I can send you. Or I am happy to select a set. Together we can work towards the perfect set for your event.
Previous clients have been very kind in saying my voice is 'effortless' and 'beautiful', I am happy to send you a huge number of reviews to look through!
