The Background Singer Elegant live jazz vocals for drinks receptions, corporate events and weddings.

I require a small, level performance area close to a standard power socket, with safe access for bringing in my equipment. For outdoor performances, suitable weatherproof cover is essential.

I provide my own professional Bose PA system, microphone and all equipment required for the performance. My equipment is PAT tested. Lighting and backdrops are not included.

I’ll need the venue contact details, performance location, power access, parking and unloading information, and confirmation of whether the performance is indoors or outdoors. I’m happy to liaise directly with the venue.

No.

My wedding service is designed specifically for the drinks reception. I don’t perform during the ceremony or for the entrance down the aisle.

I accept bookings up to six months in advance. Last-minute enquiries are also very welcome, subject to availability.

We’ll discuss your event, timings and preferred package. I can send my sample sets and full repertoire. A 50% deposit then secures the booking.

Choose one 40-minute set within a two-hour booking window, or two 40-minute sets within a three-hour window. I usually require around 20 minutes to set up.

Yes, provided there is secure cover from rain and direct sun, a dry and level performance area, and safe access to a power supply. An indoor alternative must be available in unsuitable weather.

I can provide a sample set and my full repertoire. You’re welcome to swap songs between these lists, but requests for new songs outside my existing repertoire aren’t included.

Elegant, warm and beautifully understated, with a carefully chosen repertoire that creates the perfect musical backdrop without overpowering conversation.
