Frequently Asked Questions

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

I have supported Olly Murs in front of 5,000 people, I have performed at amazing venues such as Newcastle Arena and Royal Albert Hall and I have worked with Cat Stevens, Labi Siffre and a whole host of others. How could I possibly pick?!


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

The GOAT is Freddie Mercury. I also love Meat Loaf. They’re BIG male vocals with BIG theatrical personas and performances. That’s what I love. On the flipside though, I love acoustic music, chilled out covers etc. so I love Passenger, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Ed Sheeran, that kind of Easy Listening vibe. I also love taking rock tunes from people like Guns N Roses or Radiohead and folking them up. Or modern pop classics and jazzing them up Post Modern Jukebox style.


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

I started the pubs/clubs circuit age 15 with a band. I went solo at 18 and have enjoyed just over a decade mainly solo but also with bands and duos. I started to DJ about 6 years ago too. I’ve performed across the country and in Europe.


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

Weddings. Making memories with people and putting a smile on their faces, giving them “head turn” moments by surprising them with super high notes or a switch into another language mid-song, and/or operatic singing in the middle of a pop song. Getting people vibing and boogying. Putting that soundtrack to their special day - it’s electric.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I usually arrive 1 hour before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. I’m happy to play a bit longer or shorter but have found that these set times suit audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I’m happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


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

I can learn specific songs before the event but I usually limit this to 5 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from my repertoire or let me use my wealth of experience to choose the music for them.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

I’ve had “the best vocalist in the north of England” (which I won an award for in 2019 actually) but most of my reviews mention that I’m friendly, that I feel like another guest at their event, that I have a huge vocal range and can sing “anything”.
