Book Live Entertainment | Contact form & FAQs

How do I book you? Can I provisionally book you?

The best way to book me is to contact me with as much information as you have using my contact form. I will usually reply within 24hours with a quote or some more questions. To secure a date I require £100 non-refundable deposit. 

How long do you perform for?

I have different packages and set options you can choose from. Usually these are 1x60min 2x45min or 2x60min. This includes up to 30mins of background/party music in-between sets. If you require music for longer I usually charge an additional £50 per hour for this service. Alternatively I have a list of excellent DJs that I can recommend.

How much time do you need to set up?

If I can park close to the entrance and it's an easy load-in to the space where I'm performing,  I usually require 1hour to set up and soundcheck. If setting up my SOULTOWN show it may take slightly longer due to the extra lights and equipment. Pack down time is roughly 45 minutes.

How is it best to time things?

Every event is different. If I am performing at an evening party it's best to plan my sets for a different time to when food is being served. If I am working alongside a DJ it is normally good to let them do the last 30-60 mins of the evening. I am happy to discuss with you the best timings for your event. 

Can I choose my favourite songs?

I love to know what songs you like!

Please feel free to choose a few songs from my current repertoire, you can find this info on the set shows & list page. I prefer to choose the order and read the room as I go. Please do tell me if there are any songs you would like me not to sing.

If you would like me to perform a song special to you that I don't currently cover this may be possible. For this service I charge £25 and need a minimum of 30 days notice. 

What does a typical setlist look like?

I have a diverse repertoire spanning multiple decades and genres. Each show is tailored to suit your event and audience. I offer themed packages including The Mixtape, Soul Town, BPM, 90's Baby, and Soulful Sessions, each with curated setlists. I'm happy to discuss your preferences and create a custom setlist to match your event vibe. Contact me for more details about specific packages.

Can you DJ in-between sets?

I am not a  DJ. However I include up to 30mins of background/party music in between sets as part of my standard package. If you require music for longer I usually charge an additional £50 per hour for this service.  I have a large database of songs and great taste in music so I am happy to help keep the party going or played chilled background music as required. I do not stream music so requests might not be possible.

Please let me know well in advance if there is a specific artist/song/genre which you would like to be played so that I have time to prepare this for you. Alternatively I have a list of excellent DJs that I can recommend.

Can you perform as a duo or larger group?

I primarily perform as a solo vocalist, which is perfect for most events. However, I regularly collaborate with talented musicians and DJs through my network. I regularly work with Tom on sax, function band Pure Genius and The Bandeoke Experience. If you'd like a duo or larger ensemble, I can arrange this through my connections.

Additional costs apply depending on the size of the group and their availability. Contact me to discuss which line-up would work best for your event.

Do you do corporate events?

Absolutely! I perform at corporate events including conferences, team celebrations, awards ceremonies, product launches, and company parties. Whether you need background music for a networking event or a high-energy performance for your celebration, I'm experienced in reading the room and adapting to your audience's energy and preferences.. My professional approach and diverse setlists make me perfect for creating the right atmosphere for your event. I can adapt my performance to suit the tone and vibe you want. Contact me with your event details and I'll provide a tailored quote.

What's included in your packages?

My packages vary depending on your needs and event type. Standard packages include live vocal performance, PA system, background music between sets, and lighting. Options to enhance your event include adding an acoustic guitarist, saxophonist, professional DJ/video DJ, full band, or additional stage and room lighting.

For a complete breakdown of what's included in each package please visit my Packages & Prices page or contact me for a personalised quote."

What type of venues can you perform at?

As a solo performer I can be really flexible. Venues and stages come in all sizes and I have the ability to adapt my set up accordingly.  A minimum of 2.5m x 2.5m is ideal but I have played in a tiny little conservatory before. 

Got a large stage? Awesome! I've got a large PA and extra lighting to fill the stage and room with dynamic sound and lighting. I've performed at festivals and large corporate events as well as relaxed house/garden parties. 

Can you provide a stage?

Although I don't have my own staging, I often work alongside an amazing company called MOSounds that can provide indoor and outdoor stages as well as sound and lighting. Use my contact me form for more details.

Can you play outside?

I can. I will require is a flat level surface, preferably with a hard base, a reliable power supply close by and some form of shelter. This could be a gazebo/ parasol in fair weather. It's always a good idea to have a back-up plan in case the weather is not on our side.

Can we use your microphone to make a speech?

It may be possible for you to use my sound system for speeches, but my usual vocal microphone is not suitable. If you let me know in advance I will bring a more suitable microphone for you to use. I will need to charge a little more if you need me to arrive earlier or stay longer for this service. You will also be responsible for any accidents and damages to the microphone whilst being used.

Do you have any reviews/testimonials?

Of course, I've been performing for a long time and have hundreds of happy clients, read what some of them had to say on my reviews page.

What's your deposit and payment terms?

A £100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking date. The balance is due 14 days before your event. I accept bank transfer, card payment, and cash.

I usually send over a Monzo payment link requesting your deposit. Once this is received I create a second reusable link so you can pay off the balance in instalments over a time frame that suits you. If you have questions about payment options, please get in touch via the contact form.

What's your cancellation policy?

I understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel, please contact me as soon as possible. A £100 non-refundable deposit secures your booking date. Cancellations made more than 60 days before the event are eligible for a refund minus the deposit. For cancellations within 60 days, the full payment is retained. I do offer rescheduling options and will try to accommodate, if you'd prefer to move your event to a different date.

Do you have PAT & PLI ?

Yes. If you need a copy sending to your venue just let me know and I will email them over.

Where have you played before?

I regularly perform all over the county, so you can come and see me! I've performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the country as well as private gardens, Local pubs and restaurants,  Here is a list of my previous clients and venues.  

How far do you travel?

I am based in Northamptonshire and am happy to travel throughout the UK and internationally. Whether your event is local or further afield, I'm flexible and adaptable. Contact me with your venue details and I'll provide you with a personalized quote including any travel costs.

What if you get sick or can't perform?

Your event is important to me, so I take precautions to ensure reliability. In the rare event I'm unable to perform due to illness or emergency, I have a network of professional replacement singers, Musicians and DJs I can recommend. This ensures your event isn't disrupted. You'll be notified as soon as possible and alternative options discussed.

Is there anything else you need?

I need access to the room/stage between 60-90mins before the beginning of my performance. I will need a parking space close by and a room in which I can change. I require water/soft drinks, and if I'm required to travel a long distance or am performing across more than 3 hours then I require a meal to be provided.
