Just access to a power socket, a parking space and ideally somewhere to get changed if I’m travelling.
Yes I’m fully self contained and I have a couple of basic spot lights if needed.
Just the name of the venue, contact person and number to deal with on the day. Also where to unload and get in times if it’s a function.
Yes I’m happy to play music from Spotify as I’m setting up to create an ambience and happy to play music in between sets and play up to 10/15 mins after my last set.
I performed at Blackpool North Pier Summer 2023 doing 1940s Set, it was an absolutely amazing atmosphere as the Theatre was full.
I love classical artists such Sarah Brightman, Katherine Jenkins, Hayley Westenra, Dame Kiri Te Kantawa.
But I’ve always loved the Jazz standards and Ella Fitzgerald and Sinatra. I also love Queen, their songs are phenomenal.
Nessun Dorma and We are the Champions are two fabulous songs that I like to incorporate into my sets.
After my Musical Theatre degree, I worked as a production vocalist for Warner Holidays and whilst I was there I built up a solo act. Then my first solo gigs were singing in small hotels in Blackpool and pub and club gigs.
I love playing for all kinds of events if the audience are enjoying themselves so am I. I do enjoy singing at Wedding Ceremonies and Private Events.
I normally arrive 60 mins to 90 mins depending on venue requirements and event.
I normally perform 2x 45 mins as that generally works well, however I can do 3 x 30 mins or shorter or longer set times.
Yes I can play outside, but I do need access to a power supply close to the performance area. For smaller outside venues I do have a Battery PA speaker which requires no power. Also ideally a gazebo or some covering to protect against Hot Sun or Windy conditions.
I am always open to requests for general events, but I must have at least 6 weeks to learn new songs. For Wedding Ceremonies or Funerals I offer a complete Bespoke package, where the client can choose their exact songs.
Previous customers have enjoyed the variety of music and described me as versatile. My Wedding Ceremony clients have described my performance as very moving.
