Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

Technical requirements entirely depends on the gig. I could need a piano, I'll almost always need a power socket for sound system or keyboard. If I'm singing with a string quartet they'll need 4 chairs and lighting to see their music if it's a dark room, for example.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes I have my own PA system if required


What information do you require about a venue?

Access to electricity if required


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

No

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I have been a concert and recording soloist multiple times with the Ulster Orchestra. I was a soloist in the SSE Arena and several other arenas around Ireland with The Cross Border of Ireland.


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

Mahler and Strauss are my favourite composers. I have done a lot of cross over repertoire in the style of Katherine Jenkins.


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

I have been a professional singer for over a decade, ranging from singing in restaurants for celebrations to sold out arenas with orchestras.


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

All concerts, Choral society events, recitals, recordings, opera and theatre

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Set up varies hugely depending on gig. Generally I'll be there 2 hours before to check everything and have a rehearsal if it's appropriate and usually leave in 30 minutes if I have to pack up my PA system.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, if in a covered area.


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

Yes requests can be made in advance of the event


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Surprised to hear such a big voice coming from such a small body
