Absolutely loved having Leon sing at our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We listen to his own songs all the time & had him play some of them at our party. Everyone was up dancing from start to finish. He was so professional & down to earth, we even got a photo with him in our photo booth during his interval.

Mark was great from booking to his wonderful set last night. Once I booked I corresponding with Mark on the setlist for the event. Mark turned up on time, was patient as the meal and speeches had overrun and really looked like a true professional. Once he started singing the party began, feet were tapping and the guests started to boogie. All the guests told me they thought Mark was absolutely fantastic throughout both parts of his show. By the time we ended with My Way, That's Life & New York, New York everyone was up dancing and there was not a dry eye in the house as mum and dad danced the night away on their 60th anniversary.
Thank Mark, you made the night and I look forward to booking you for a future family party.

Your Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Live Solo Singer in Manchester
Manchester is a city that thrives on its music scene, offering a perfect blend of indie, retro, and modern vibes. If you're looking to hire a live solo singer for your event, you're in luck—Manchester has some of the best talent around. Whether it's a wedding, a private party, or a music festival, a live solo singer will bring that unique, personal touch that will make your event stand out. Let’s dive into why hiring a live solo singer in Manchester could be the best decision you make for your event.
Why Should You Hire a Live Solo Singer?
Hiring a live solo singer at your event doesn’t just offer great music, it brings an energy and atmosphere that a playlist can't match. There's something magical about live performances—they engage your guests, set the mood, and make your event memorable in ways pre-recorded music simply can’t. From wedding ballads to upbeat indie hits, a solo singer can adjust to the mood and style of your celebration, delivering the perfect sound to accompany every moment.
But it’s not just about the music—it’s about the experience. A solo singer brings personality, flair, and spontaneity that adds a special dimension to your event. Whether it’s serenading the bride as she walks down the aisle or getting your guests on their feet at a private party, the right singer will deliver an unforgettable performance that leaves everyone talking long after the event is over.
Types of Events for Hiring a Solo Singer in Manchester
Manchester is a city that knows how to throw a good party, and there are plenty of events where a solo singer can shine.
Weddings
Weddings in Manchester are as diverse as the city itself, and so are the musical styles. A live solo singer can perform a beautiful ballad as the bride walks down the aisle, set the mood during the reception, or even sing the first dance. Whether you’re planning a retro-inspired wedding at a trendy venue or a more traditional celebration at a classic Manchester hotel, a solo singer can cater to your theme, ensuring the music fits your style perfectly.
Private Parties
Private parties are all about having fun and creating lasting memories. Hiring a solo singer for your birthday bash, anniversary celebration, or any other special occasion adds a personal and dynamic touch. From indie tunes to old-school classics, the right singer can read the room and play the songs that get people singing along or swaying to the rhythm.
Music Festivals
Manchester has a rich history in music, and its festivals reflect that. If you're hosting a festival or a smaller live event, a solo singer can add a fresh, intimate vibe to the line-up. Perfect for smaller stages or as an acoustic set between larger performances, a solo singer can keep the energy flowing and keep the audience entertained.

How to Choose the Right Solo Singer for Your Event
Choosing the perfect solo singer is crucial to ensuring your event has the right vibe. Here’s what to keep in mind when making your decision:
Vocal Style and Music Genre
You know the vibe you want for your event—now you need to find a solo singer who can deliver it. Whether you’re going for an indie feel, retro classics, or more contemporary tunes, the right singer will bring your vision to life. Be sure to ask the performer for a setlist or examples of their previous work.
Experience
A solo singer who has experience performing at events similar to yours is invaluable. An experienced singer will know how to read the room, adapt to different situations, and make sure the music enhances the event. Plus, they’ll be professional, punctual, and know how to engage with the crowd.
Flexibility and Customisation
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a solo singer is their ability to tailor the performance to your event. If you have specific songs or genres you’d like them to perform, or if you want a particular style of delivery, be sure to discuss this in advance. A good solo singer will work with you to create a playlist that fits your event’s tone and atmosphere.
Interacting with Your Guests
When you hire a solo singer, you’re not just hiring a voice—you’re hiring an experience. Look for a performer who knows how to connect with their audience. The right singer can engage with your guests, creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and involved in the performance.
Equipment and Setup
Ensure the singer is able to provide all the necessary equipment, including microphones, speakers, and other sound systems. Most solo performers come fully prepared with the right gear, but it's always a good idea to double-check so you can avoid any last-minute issues.
Popular Venues for Solo Singers in Manchester
Manchester is home to some of the most iconic and unique venues that are perfect for hosting live music. From industrial spaces to cosy pubs, you can find a venue that complements the style and vibe of your solo singer.
Industrial Venues
Industrial venues have become increasingly popular in Manchester, and they offer a fantastic backdrop for live music performances. With their exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and raw, modern feel, these venues provide a cool, urban setting for a solo singer to perform. Whether it’s an indie acoustic set or something a bit more retro, the atmosphere of an industrial venue can create an unforgettable experience.
Pubs and Music Halls
Manchester is known for its thriving pub culture, and there’s nothing better than enjoying live music in a relaxed, intimate setting. A solo singer can perform at one of Manchester’s many pubs or music halls, adding an extra touch of entertainment to a night out. The informal atmosphere of a pub or hall allows the singer to interact with the crowd, creating a laid-back yet exciting vibe.
Restaurants
For a more intimate event like an anniversary dinner or a small private celebration, consider booking a solo singer at a local restaurant. Many restaurants in Manchester offer live music, and a solo singer can create a lovely ambiance while guests dine. Whether you’re enjoying a romantic evening or hosting a family gathering, live music can elevate the experience.
How to Budget for a Solo Singer in Manchester
The cost of hiring a live solo singer in Manchester can vary depending on several factors, including the singer's experience, the length of their performance, and the type of event. In general, you can expect to pay:
Smaller events: For smaller, more intimate performances, you can expect to pay between £400 and £700. This may include a short set of around an hour or less and can be a great option for private parties or smaller weddings.
Mid-range performances: For mid-range performances or more experienced singers, you can expect to pay between £700 and £1000. This range will usually cover longer sets or performances at higher-profile venues.
High-end performances: For large events like corporate galas or music festivals, the price can go up to £1500 or more. This might include a highly experienced singer or a performance at a premium venue, with custom requests or additional sound equipment included.
Make sure to discuss your budget with the performer in advance to ensure that you are both on the same page and avoid any unexpected costs.
