I use a high end Bose sound system, which gives crystal clear and dynamic sound. However, like all systems, there is a limitation to the output that can be achieved. My system comfortably accommodates functions of up to 150 guests. Beyond that, an AV (Audio Visual) company would be required to provide independent sound production for larger events. I also have a smaller midi Bose system which is both battery and mains operated, making it ideal for more intimate gigs and events, or performances in harder to reach locations.

As standard, once I have changed, I will discretely and as speedily as possible break down and remove my sound equipment once a performance has ended. This may be done by myself, or sometimes by an assistant who works with me. If a client wishes me to wait for a period of time after my performance or to the end of the event itself before breaking down and removing the equipment, this must be requested when booking, as it will incur additional charges for waiting time.

With over 30 years experience in high end entertainment it's really hard to pinpoint a favourite gig or venue. I have appeared in iconic West end shows, international concerts and galas for celebrities, royalty and heads of state. Each has its own magic. But equally memorable are the birthday parties, family celebrations, corporate events and weddings where I have had the pleasure of performing. To me the most important thing is to see people having fun, singing along and filling the dance floor. That never gets old!

Parties, family celebrations, weddings, corporate events, cabaret, I love them all! They each have their own charm and challenges, but when you get a room full of people singing along with you or filling the dance floor, it just doesn't get any better than that.

I have over 30 years experience performing in high end entertainment.
My background is professional musical theatre.
I have appeared in West End musicals, and touring musical productions around the UK and abroad.
From there I expanded into cabaret and corporate entertainment, weddings, private parties and family celebrations.
I am fortunate to be a preferred supplier to many top hotels and venues in the South East of the UK.

My Retro Pop & Classic Hits show is cram-packed with iconic hits and floor fillers from the 1950s to the 1980s. Within those four decades are some of the biggest and most iconic names in pop history. Tom Jones, The Beatles, Elvis, Barry Manilow, Cliff Richard, The Monkees, Frankie Valli, ABBA , The Ronettes, Gloria Gaynor and Barry White to name but a few. Please don't ask me to choose a favourite or my head might explode!

Yes of course! Once we have agreed terms and signed contracts, I am more than happy to liaise with venues or event planners to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day of your event.

I have a great selection stage costumes, ranging from black tie to showbiz glitz! I am always happy to discuss wardrobe options with you and agree the most suitable attire for each event.

Yes, I'm happy to play outside but I do ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area. Bottled water is always appreciated.

The vast majority of clients are happy for me to use my expertise and knowledge to choose the songs and put together a running order that works best for their specific type of event or function. I will always offer the opportunity for clients to have a telephone consultation to provide input and ideas, but the majority of clients are simply happy to trust my judgement.
