About / Biography

Ruth is a sensational vintage singer who will add old-style pizzazz to your party, event, wedding or corporate function.

She’ll take you back to a golden age of glamour and song; marvellous melodies made famous by artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simon, Dinah Washington, Judy Garland, and many more.

Ruth also loves to perform pop with a vintage twist, everything from Beyonce and Madonna to Blondie and Britney.

Fifties and sixties numbers are also in her repertoire if you’re looking for a slightly more recent vintage vibe.

For those throwing a 1920s or Peaky Blinders style bash then Ruth has a specific roaring 20s set which will add a decadent twenties vibe to your event.

Whatever the event, the performance is not just about the music, the whole look is also important to Ruth. She always wears the glammest of dresses-to-die-for and creates a whole vintage experience.

Whether you’re looking for background vocals to add some ambiance to your party or you’d prefer more audience interaction, Ruth is an experienced artist and can provide either of these options.

All equipment is PAT tested and Ruth has public liability insurance as well as being a member of Equity.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need to be situated by a plug socket in order to run my compact PA system and also need about five square foot of space around me.

Somewhere to get changed would be great if possible.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes I'm completely self-contained. I bring my own PA system which is Pat tested.


What information do you require about a venue?

Apart from the address it is helpful to know any extra information which will help me find the venue as well as information about parking and whether there is anywhere for me to get changed. Thank you.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

I am happy to provide background music between sets if required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

One of the best gigs I played was a wedding when the groom has asked me to surprise the bride by learning a song in French. I sang sang 'Beyond the Sea' which is originally written in French and called 'La Mer'. When I started singing all of her family broke into rapturous whooping, cheering and clapping! It was fabulous to be able to create such a memorable moment for the couple.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Judy Garland, Patsy Cline, Etta James, Peggy Lee and so many more! It's tricky to name the greatest song of all time but some of my all time faves are My Baby Just Cares For Me; These Boots Are Made For Walking; At Last; What A Difference A Day Makes; Walking After Midnight; La Vie En Rose.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been singing pretty much since I've been talking! My first professional singing experience was radio jingles and session singing then I decided I wanted to get out of the studio and perform live. My first gig was for my cousin's next door neighbours 60th birthday party! From that moment on I have sung regularly at weddings, parties, anniversaries, corporate functions and all sorts of events. I am so lucky to do something I love!


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I love all events! But I think my favourite gigs are the ones which have a certain energy. It's hard to describe but I believe it's when, as a performer, I find a tangible connection with the audience. When that happens it's pure magic.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I always arrive at least an hour before the performance time in order to set up my equipment, sound check and change.

Possible options for performance times.

1 x hour set
1 x 1.5 hour set
2 x 30 minute sets
3 x 30 minute sets
4 x 30 minute sets
2 x 45 minutes
3 x 45 minutes


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, absolutely. I have a small PA system which works brilliantly outside. I prefer to be near a power supply if possible but my system can work on batteries if necessary. I do ask for some kind of alternative shelter if the weather is bad.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I am very happy to send out my repertoire to clients for them to pick out specific songs they'd like. For weddings, birthdays and special occasions I can learn a specific song provided I can find a suitable backing track (and it's not too far out of my comfort zone!)


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Fantastic!
