About / Biography

I'm Luce, a singer and acoustic guitarist from the heart of the countryside, performing in venues, weddings, fields, pubs and private events across the East of England and the Home Counties.

My sets are built from songs people recognise and want to sing along to — six decades of hits arranged for voice and acoustic guitar. Expect Fleetwood Mac, Carole King and Cyndi Lauper alongside KT Tunstall and Corinne Bailey Rae, running through to Taylor Swift, Olivia Dean and Lainey Wilson. There's a strong country thread too: Dolly, Shania, The Chicks, Kacey Musgraves and Maren Morris.

I tailor the set to the room. A drinks reception or a wedding breakfast calls for something warm and unobtrusive; a Saturday night in a busy pub calls for the singalongs. Tell me what the event is and I'll build the set around it — and if there's a song that matters to you, I can learn it.

Experiences range from country music nights with a house band to wedding ceremonies, village fetes, care homes, Christmas lights-on entertainment, pub gigs, and (hilariously) opening a shopping centre in Ilford as Elsa from Frozen! Alongside covers work I'm a recording singer-songwriter with a debut album due in 2027, and I perform my own material at listening rooms and indie venues across London, as well as having larger venues like Islington Assembly Hall. That side of things means you're getting someone who takes the craft seriously — good tuning, storytelling, dynamics, and a set that's actually paced rather than just a list of songs.

What I offer:

  • Solo acoustic — 2 x 45 minute sets

  • Solo acoustic — one continuous 60 minute set

  • Set tailored to your event: background, singalong, or a mix

  • Themed sets (women through the decades, Taylor Swift 'acoustic set')
  • Requests learned in advance where possible

Based in Gamlingay, Cambridgeshire, and happy to travel across Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a performance space of roughly 2m x 2m, one 13 amp socket within reach, and a parking space. For smaller rooms — up to around 60 people — I bring my own microphone and a compact amplifier, which is all the sound the space needs. For larger rooms, marquees or outdoor events I ask that a PA system is provided, either by the venue or by your event's sound engineer. I can bring my own microphone, stand, and cables either way, and I'm entirely comfortable plugging into whatever's there.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I bring my own microphone and a small amplifier suitable for intimate spaces and smaller rooms. For bigger events I use the venue's PA. I don't provide lighting.


What information do you require about a venue?

Directions and parking details. Venue PA system and who's operating it, whether there's a sound limiter fitted, what the performance space looks like — indoor or outdoor, and roughly how many people will be in the room. If there are other acts or a DJ on the bill, it helps to know the running order so we can share the space sensibly.


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

Not at the moment — I'd suggest running a playlist through the venue's system, and I'm very happy to help you put one together that flows with the live sets so the atmosphere doesn't drop between them.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Singing during both my cousins' wedding ceremonies have to come top of my list - so meaningful and a privilege to be part of their special day. The best venue I've played at is Islington Assembly Hall - full band, a great line up - I felt like a rockstar.


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

Since I was 11, with my portable CD player and headphones, I've been a Swiftie. I remember singing my parody of her song 'Hey, Stephen' for my school's production of a Shakespeare play when I was 12 ('Hey, Donkey'), and 'Love Story' being my go-to karaoke. More recently, I love Kacey Musgraves - her angelic voice alongside her wit and wisdom in her songcraft is what I aspire to, in my own way. Alanis Morissette's attitude and KT Tunstall's stage presence are also big influences. For me, the greatest song changes all the time but an album that never lets me down in Kacey Musgraves' 'Golden Hour'.


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

My experience of singing professionally is vast. From pub gigs and busking in a duo at 15, to singing in an acapella group at Uni, to hosting my own live music night and interviewing guest songwriters in London in my mid 20s, I now live a patchwork career as both a recording singer-songwriter and a live singer (solo or with accompaniment). In recent years, I've joined bands as a guest vocalist for Country music nights, seen beautiful transformations in care home residents singing memorable hits through the decades, sang live for modern Jive freestyles, and entertained family crowds at village fetes and town festivals with acoustic versions of popular songs and my own originals.


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

Anywhere the people are interested in music - I love getting the crowd to sing-along - it brings me joy to see people dancing and singing.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I can arrive an hour before I'm due to start so I can set up and soundcheck without an audience in the room. I usually play 2 x 45 minute sets with a break in between, or a single continuous 60 minute set for shorter events like drinks receptions. I'm flexible on timings — just tell me the shape of your day and I'll fit around it.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, with a few conditions. I need shade or cover over the performance area — guitars and direct sun don't get on, and neither do guitars and rain — plus a flat, level surface and a power supply nearby. For anything outdoors with more than a small crowd, a PA will be needed, as an acoustic guitar and voice don't carry far in open air.


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

I'm always open to a conversation. You're welcome to pick songs from my list, ask me to avoid anything, or tell me the mood you want and let me build the set. I'm also happy to learn songs specifically for your event — usually up to three, with at least four weeks' notice. If a song genuinely won't work for one voice and a guitar I'll tell you honestly and suggest something close.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I'm often told how beautiful my voice is which makes for pleasant listening — with enough energy behind it to lift a room when that's what's needed. People often comment on my stage presence, enjoying my in-between-ness.


Can you write and perform an original song for a wedding or special event?

Absolutely - as a trained songwriter (with an academic degree, woot woot) it's my passion to craft songs that sing from the heart and share a timeless story. Let's talk.
