Where are you based?
I was born and raised in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
I am available for gigs across the country and abroad.
Are you prepared to travel?
Yes! I perform at many venues all across the UK and abroad.
I'm not afraid of flying or sailing either- performances anywhere in the world can be made possible!
What makes you different from other wartime performers in the UK?
I am passionate about the 1940's era and this is apparent when I perform. I have been a WW2 enthusiast since the age of 10 and I have researched the music and fashions of the era extensively,
My vintage wardrobe is over-flowing with original garments and quite exquisite pieces of historical fashion that I have been collecting for 10 years now.
I am also very lucky to have been trained by wonderfully talented vocal and acting coaches throughout my early years. I was classically trained and also sang in choirs which now enables me to sing a wide range of vocal styles from classic to swing to modern day pop and has given me a good ear for dynamics, diction and tone. This makes for a show where every song sounds different to the last!
I love what I do and I've worked hard to make my show as authentic, fun and varied as possible for the audiences enjoyment.
Do you have your own equipment?
Yes! I only use the best in up-to-date sound technology. With help from my sound engineer with over 20 years experience in the industry at professional level and regular trips to Electro Music sound equipment store I can comfortably sound an audience of large proportions!
I use high-tech equipment including:
*Shure 55SH Series II Microphones
*Shure SM58 Micrphones
*Seinhesier Wireless Microphones
* Bose L1 PA System
*2 x EV SX300 Speakers
*Yamaha EMX5014C Powered Mixing Desk
*Wireless in-Ear Monitor System
*Shure SE315 Sound Isolating In Ear Monitor Earphones
Are you covered by Public Liability Insurance and PAT testing?
Yes. I am fully insured and can provide the relevant certificates and I have all of my equipment PAT tested annually and I display the stickers to show this too. I also have risk assessment documents available on request.
How long can you sing for?
Set times can be tailored to your requirements. Generally, for an evening performance I will either perform 3 x 30 minute or 2 x 45 minute sets. I am happy to discuss your requirements and with my large repertoire I can accommodate your requests.
What style and era of songs do you sing?
I can sing EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING!
1920's to today. Classical, pop, rock, soul, jazz, r'n'b... I am a versatile singer who can adapt to any theme, style or occasion. I also have the wardrobe to match- making me the perfect choice for your themed event.
Alternatively, I can provide a varied musical offering if you would like a wider range of songs for a private party or cabaret event.
I have an extensive repertoire including over 500 songs from the olden days to current chart hits.
I can combine these different sets to create a show that spans over 100 years of musical history for fans of all eras!
If you would like me to perform at your special occasion I can learn a particular request for you; just let me know with enough time before the event and I will sing it for you!
