Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

1 x mains plug socket


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, I’m completely self contained. I bring my own PA system to all of my gigs as well as a simple lighting rig if requested.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know
- any directions that will help me find you!
- if there’s a sound limiter in the venue.
- am I performing inside or outside?
- if outside, please make sure I’m under cover from sun/rain!


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

Yes, I’m happy to play music from a playlist before, after and between my sets. I’m happy to choose the music myself or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

I sang as ‘Christine’ from phantom of the opera at a charity ball in front of 2000 people at Alexandra Palace which was just wonderful being words! I performed in the balcony as well as onstage!


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

I would say I’m mostly influenced by musical theatre but pop and rock have such a huge place in my heart from being in a band so it’s a real tough one! I LOVE Tina Turner - such an array of songs, such talent and everyone loves to boogie to her upbeat numbers!


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

I started singing at youth theatre, went to drama school and performed a lot in the west end. After having my son in 2015 I had to find a different outlet for my joy of music. I signed started giving solo and then also joined a band! I play weddings, parties, funerals, restaurants, bars, pubs, fetes, you name it - and I LOVE it!


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

It sounds a bit lame but genuinely I love every gig where I can make the guests happy. Every event is unique so you can’t say one type as each wedding, for example, is totally different! I just love singing everywhere!!!


How do I know you’re the right act?

Talk to me! Trust me, I don’t want to sing in front of a crowd who hates what I’m doing! Just buzz and have a chat and we’ll see if it’ll work! If I’m not your girl, I’m bound to know someone who is! There’s no charge for a phonecall and no obligation. I genuinely want to to have the best act for your event - if it’s me, great! But that’s not the be-all-and-end-all! I’m protective of my reputation and will only perform what I KNOW is right for the client and guests.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

15 mins setup/take down
Performance times 1-3 x 45min sets (plus DJ 2-3 hrs if required)


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely but I need a mains socket and shelter - even in the sun (I’m very pale and burn to a crisp!)


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

I have a huge playlist to choose from or depending on time-scales I can learn one or two new ones. I also have some prearranged setlists to choose from and often swap between them as I read the room live at the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My reviews have seemed to say ‘amazing voice’ and ‘bubbly’ or ‘friendly’ and for parties ‘seems to know the exact songs to get us up dancing and keep us on am all night’. My favourite one is, ‘goes above and beyond’ - I can’t help it! If a bride needs her dress spread out while bridesmaids are in the reception line and in the only one who notices, I’ll sneakily sort it so her photo is perfect. I even ended up doing someone’s hair and makeup once, as their hairdresser didn’t turn up!!
