One or two plug sockets
Sound equipment provided , no lighting
How far it is to carry equipment and if there is a sound limiter
Yes
I have sung at lots of beautiful venues , it's difficult to choose one but Limewood in Hampshire was lovely and the most spectacular was the Mysore Palace in India.
Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Doris Day are all favourites
I have been singing for many years and was encouraged to start singing jazz when someone heard me in a concert singing Gershwin. I am also an opera and folk singer so have vast experience of different genres of music
I love all sorts of events, but especially the events where people are really relaxed and just enjoying the atmosphere
It takes me about 30 minutes to set up. Performance times are usually 2 x 45 minute sets in a 2 hour period
Yes, no problem as long as there is shade, no rain and minimal wind.
Yes, absolutely. I will always chat through the favourites list and always happy to learn new songs too.
Amazing, what a beautiful voice, I love the fact you are just enjoying yourself in your performing. Wonderful, I can't wait to hear you again.
