Performance space minimum 3mx3m preferred.
I can be completely portable and have devices that do not require a plug socket at request. However one plug socket is preferred.
Completely self contained with multiple set ups, including completely battery powered (fab for outdoor events). I have simple lighting too and backdrop.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue."
Yes, a small charge will be applied.
I adore singing in my home town theatre, Darlington Hippodrome. I know it well and feel so much support when I perform there. I’ve also performed across the UK at various Haven holiday parks.
Tina Turner is my idol for multiple reasons, mainly because of her performance ethics and her strength. I adore Eva Cassidy and Whitney Houston. Post Modern Jukebox is my most recent love; their shows are out of this world!
I became a professional vocalist in 2007 after completing my degree in Performance. I have sang up and down the country as vocalist, show performer (including as a dancer), and now run my own company Voices of Darlington. I have sung for the prime minister and around Germany in an acapella vocal group.
I love performing in musicals because of the team work, but there really is no beating a private family event. These are where I have some of the fondest memories.
Yes! I can provide more vocalists at request.
Yes! I have over 200 singers aged 4-adult who perform regularly, called Voices of Darlington. We have performed at weddings, theatres and various other community events.
Depending on the set up required, I can be ready and set up within 30 minutes. I have a professional and high standard compact set up, great for small spaces.
Depending upon what is required I find an hours set of acoustic or jazz-pop works best, and 2 x 45’s if it includes a party set.
Yes! Can’t beat a summer event! I can also be fully portable which is a bonus.
I welcome suggestions, and have such a varied list that I can accommodate most requests in some way. I also have little QR code cards that allow guests to digitally send over requests. I can’t always promise I’ll have it but I try my best to put in something f of the same artist or genre. I’ve also learned songs for first dances and as bride/groom come down the aisle at a small cost. That’s really special.
I am lucky to be described as having a lovely voice, and people always comment on how varied the set is. I am confident and positive, and make an effort to get to know the client; I feel this makes all the difference.
