I work with orchestras, organists and pianist. I can provide my own musical pa etc. Whether it is for classical music or a more relaxed setting with jazz/swing, ballads etc...

Yes, I am self contained. If it's a wedding or a funeral, I'm accompanied by their resident pianist/organist. I can provide music myself if none are available.
Obviously if I'm performing with my duo, we have all our keyboards, pa etc..

Any directions that may help to find the venue and the area to enter or load (depending on type of booking).

Yes, if that is a requirement.

I loved singing at the famous Liverpool Cathedral where the acoustics were just amazing.

It is hard to chose a davourite artist as I love most genre, but, Ella Fitzgerald is definitely up there along with soprano Jesse Norman. As a child, my parents used to play 60s music - I don't think there's a 60s song I can't sing along to!

There have been many highlights since I started public performance at 14 - from straight theatre, classical concerts and many many weddings. There is a deep emotional connection whenever I sing at funerals and it's paramount to get it right for the families.
Since I started, I've performed at hundreds of events up and down the UK!

I love singing at all sorts of events from serious high-brow classical to foot-tapping and uplifting gigs with my jazz/swing duo.

Yes, if their is no resident pianist/organist I can book one or provide PA with backing.

I cover the UK.

I always like to arrive an hour before if it's a wedding or a funeral so that myself and the pianist/organist can have another run through. If there is no live accompaniment and I am using tracks, I still arrive an hour earlier to set up and do a sound check.

With regards to performance times, that depends on what the occasion is. I may be booked to sing the bride in, sing whilst the register is being signed and maybe as the couple leave (whatever they decide they want for their special day). If it's a funeral people again may want one, two or three songs but whatever it is I of course stay for the whole ceremony.

I'm happy to play outside. A decent ground or surface and
a shade or shelter would be required with power supply if it's for my jazzy set.
* I also sing graveside for funerals if required.

I have a sample repertoire to chose from but if I have enough booking notice, I'm happy to learn specific songs for the client.

Previous clients gave described my performances as 'moving', 'powerful mezzo',' voice of an angel', 'highly recommended '.

Yes. I am a trained classical singer (mezzo-soprano )

Yes, I sing cross-over, musical theatre, jazz, ballads, swing. It all depends on the type of booking.
