Yes, I'm completely self contained bring my own PA system. Simple lighting can also be included to create more impact.
I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in equipment. I’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
I have a playlist that suits the LIVE LOUNGE style that I can play just before and in between sets - I don't provide DJ services after I'm finished - but I'm very good at handing over to them!
I was asked to sing a surprise acapella version of a Stevie Wonder song at a low key wedding. The Groom had a serious medical condition so the wedding taking place was a very special event for everyone there - it was obvious that it was a very special song to the Bride and Groom so it was an honour to be able to add that something so meaningful to their day!
I was lucky enough to do a tour of the Baltics in 2024 with an Adele theatre tribute show - we played to a 2000 seater sold out Alexela Concert Hall in Tallin. The audience were wonderful but the backstage green room facilities were exceptional - an important factor for any touring musician!
I love strong female artists who aren't afraid to own their style. I'm a huge fan of timeless stars like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf. I have loved discovering contemporary artists like Imelda May, Caro Emerald and Susan Tedeschi. As a singer I love listening to the technical aspects of their voices, but most of all I love how all these artists communicate with the listener - they're real storytellers.
I started performing at school and gigging with local bands while at college and university. Since then I've just kept saying yes to opportunities and meeting and working with as many musicians as I can - I've worked with many live function bands, played corporate events, taken part in countless weddings and been on UK & European theatre tours and festivals with tribute acts. Every performance is different and it doesn't matter if you're playing to 20 people or 5,000 - you're always making sure the audience has the best time!
It's very hard to chose - either weddings or New Year's events. In either case people are just relaxed and want to have a great time and celebrate. It's the perfect setting for a musician as adding to that feeling and helping people have the best night ever is what we do!
Set up can be done very quickly - maximum of 30 mins
Usual sets requested are 2 x 45 mins - however longer or shorter sets can be easily accommodated
I'm happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. If the weather is changeable then cover is needed to keep my PA equipment safe.
Generally I build my sets based on my repertoire list - based on many years of experience and countless gigs it's been tried and tested and added to over time so you can be confident of getting the atmosphere you'd expect from booking the LIEV LOUNGE. However I'm always keen to keep collecting songs so if you have a special request I'm happy to add this with enough time.
Lot's of my previous clients have complimented my voice and would say that it's easy to listen to. They've loved the song selection and how I've created just the right atmosphere for them - be it background music for dinner parties through to evening parties for weddings.
