My set is generally mixed popular covers that will guarantee to get the audience up singing and dancing.

I also can do old fashion sing along songs from 30's & 40's for care homes.

I have specifically performed in areas around London, Hitchin, Welwyn, St Albans, Ware, and Stevenage in Hertfordshire to popular acclaim.
I regularly perform for private functions as the main supplier of singing entertainment for the Mill Green Golf Club for the Miller's Annual Awards Ceremony and their Summer Miller Cup Dinner Dance. Reed Cricket Club, Hash 100 Runners Club Xmas Dinner Dance, Codicote Tennis Club

I am the regular performing act for the Horse & Groom Pub in Hatfield for their popular Beer & Gin Festivals, and the Galleon Pub in Wolverton Milton Keynes, The Swan-Hyde Park, and a regular returning act for The Hightown Club in Luton.

I am happy to travel distances further afield, with enough notice and for an adjusted fee to cover additional time and petrol costs.

I have a vast wide ranging repertoire from across the decades that can cover any almost any type of crowd, age group and occasion from 40's to the present.
