What kind of singers can we book?

Event singers cover almost every style: pop and soul for a party, acoustic sets for a relaxed reception, classical and opera for a formal dinner, French chanson for a Parisian night and carols or festive standards at Christmas.

Most singers perform with backing tracks or alongside a pianist or guitarist, and many can switch style through the night, gentle during dinner and upbeat once the dancing starts. Singing waiters and surprise opera performers are popular twists.

Where it works best

  • Drinks receptions

    Easy-listening sets as guests mingle.

  • Parisian nights

    French chanson and cabaret classics.

  • Christmas parties

    Festive standards and carols.

  • Dinners

    Background vocals through the meal.

  • Surprise performances

    Singing waiters and hidden opera singers.

  • Weddings

    Ceremony songs through to the evening.

Tips from our team

  1. 1

    Match the style to the moment

    Gentle for dinner, upbeat for the party. Many singers can do both in one booking.

  2. 2

    Agree volume and position

    A singer near the bar is different from one on stage. We plan placement with you.

  3. 3

    Send your requests early

    Special songs need time to prepare, so share them well before the day.

How much do singers and vocalists cost in Ilkeston?

Often, yes, with enough notice. Send us the song and we will check.

Can we book a surprise performance?

Yes. Singing waiters and surprise opera singers are a fun way to start a dinner.

How far ahead should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday dates in December and the summer months go first, often months ahead. Short notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

Usually, yes. Tell us your theme, colours or brand guidelines and we will suggest the costumes and acts that fit best.
