A parking space as close to an entrance as possible, a power supply and a small table!
We need to know any directions that will help us find the venue and find the right place to load in our equipment. We’d also need to be informed if there’s a sound limiter in the venue. A venue contact would also be helpful it the venue isn't your home!
I bring my own PA system to all my gigs but not a lighting. If you require special lighting please let me know well in advance as this will be an additional charge.
Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.
The the last few years I have done the Christmas Party session at The Lodge, Duxford. The vibe is always amazing and lots of the returning customers are always happy to see me and we always have a great time.
I like any event where the guest just feel free to let go and enjoy themselves. I love and feed of interaction, so the more the better!
I have always loved singing and was part of the church choir when I was a young child. As a teenager I always wanted to be a popstar but it wasn't until I fell in love with Big Band music that I really started singing. Beginning with open mic nights I started to build a reputation and then the offers came in from a number of venues. Since then I performed at events ranging from house parties to festivals, numerous wedding, I regularly perform at care homes (which are some of my most satisfying gigs) and corporate clients like John Lewis and Ikea.
The Crooner kings have definitely influenced and inspired me. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin to name a few. I also love Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald. Timeless voices. I don't know about the greatest song of all time but the greatest song to end a performance is without a doubt, New York New York! Always leave them on a high!
I try to arrive 30-45 minutes before the start time. I have a very simple setup which generally takes no longer than 10 minutes. My standard performance time is 2 x 45 minutes but this is totally flexible of course!
Totally happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.
I can learn specific songs before the event providing I have enough time to learn it, I can find the right backing track and I believe I can deliver it and acceptable standard. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let me choose the music for them based on their brief.
Fun, a little cheeky, interactive, smooth and amazing vocals (of course!)
