Booked for Anniversary
Fransis (Emma) is simply superb! Her videos actually don’t necessarily do her justice as I felt she was even better than what you see online….
She arrived early after some great communication and you get that relaxed vibe from her immediately.
She looks the part and was ready to go before the arranged time but was in no rush.
Feedback from the entire (70/80 guests) was that her set list, vocals and style was amazing and everyone loved her.
Do not hesitate to book Fransis!! She’s great.

Absolutely perfect! This made my birthday really special and I’m so glad I found Dave on here. From start to finish he was great. Communicated the whole time, arrived exactly as planned and really made an effort with all my friends and family. The music set was exactly like the video posted online and he had everyone up and dancing. Just brilliant. This could not have been any better, we just wish we had booked him for an even longer set. Don’t hesitate to book - great singer, reliable, professional and very personable. Thank you so much for making my birthday special.

"Where our first impression was that Anthony was expensive for a pub singer, his professionalism shone through from the moment he grabbed the floor
Accomplished, entertaining and audience inclusive he took the place by storm. His abiltiy to change (by song) from Frank Sinatra to Dean Martin to Andy Williams is only surpassed by his spectacular Sammy Davis Jr's rendition
We have searched for 6 years to unearth such a quality Rat Pack singer and, we have discovered a gemstone in Anthony
The unsung hero of the evening, however, is his gorgeous wife Nikki, who organises everything in the background and is a delight to be around
Congratulations to the two of you and, we look forward to welcoming you back
Cheers, Duncan Kerr"
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
Your Guide to Hiring Live Solo Singers in Newcastle
Searching for Live Solo Singers in Newcastle and not sure where to begin? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re planning a Quayside wedding, a hen do that needs a proper soundtrack, or a corporate function that shouldn’t feel like a corporate function, a talented solo singer can transform the mood in minutes.
Newcastle knows how to party. It also knows how to appreciate proper live music. From soulful vocals drifting across the Tyne to full-on party sets in buzzing city venues, the North East crowd expects energy, warmth and authenticity. So let’s break down exactly how to hire the right live solo singer in Newcastle and make your event one to remember.
Why Book a Live Solo Singer in Newcastle?
There’s something disarmingly powerful about one voice and a mic. It’s intimate. It’s flexible. It works in spaces where a full band might be overkill. And it can scale beautifully from background ambience to dancefloor filler.
A solo singer is ideal if you want:
A romantic live soundtrack for your wedding ceremony
Soul and R&B vibes for a stylish drinks reception
Party tunes for a hen or stag celebration
Polished live entertainment for a corporate event
Live piano and voice for a more refined atmosphere
In Newcastle, versatility matters. You might start the evening with acoustic soul and end it with a crowd belting out 90s anthems. The right performer will read the room and take you there.
Weddings in Newcastle: From Ceremony to Last Dance
Newcastle weddings come with personality. Whether you’re tying the knot at a hotel overlooking the river or celebrating in a grand function suite, live music adds that cinematic touch.
For ceremonies, a solo singer with piano or backing tracks can provide:
Processional and recessional songs tailored to you
Soft acoustic love songs during signing of the register
Personal song requests performed live
For drinks receptions, think laid-back soul, modern pop covers reworked acoustically, or classic R&B that feels effortless rather than intrusive.
In the evening, many couples opt for a singer who shifts gears. Party tunes. Big choruses. A bit of crowd interaction. Newcastle guests aren’t shy, so your singer shouldn’t be either.
Price guide for Newcastle weddings: expect to invest between £220 and £550 depending on set length, equipment requirements and whether you’re booking ceremony plus evening performance.

Let’s be honest. Newcastle has a reputation. If you’re planning a hen or stag do here, you want entertainment that matches the city’s spirit.
A live solo singer can:
Kick off pre-drinks with upbeat party sets
Lead singalongs to guilty pleasures
Deliver live R&B and dance hits
Provide a themed set for 90s, noughties or soul nights
The beauty of hiring a solo singer over just plugging in a playlist is the interaction. They can shout out the bride or groom, build energy naturally and turn a standard night into something memorable. In music bars and social clubs across Newcastle, space can be tight. A solo act fits easily without sacrificing atmosphere. That’s practical and powerful.
Corporate Functions Without the Corporate Feel
Corporate events in Newcastle range from awards evenings to networking drinks and Christmas parties. The brief is often the same. Keep it classy. Keep it engaging. Don’t make it awkward.
A live solo singer can provide:
Background sets during arrival drinks
Smooth soul and R&B for relaxed networking
High-energy party sets to close the night
Live piano and voice for black-tie dinners
It’s about balance. You want music that enhances conversation, not competes with it. Experienced Newcastle performers understand that nuance.
Choosing the Right Style for Your Event
When searching for Live Solo Singers in Newcastle, you’ll notice a range of styles. Here’s how to narrow it down.
Party Tunes
If your goal is packed dancefloors and zero sitting down, look for singers who specialise in upbeat pop, chart hits and floor-fillers. Ideal for hen parties and evening wedding receptions.
Soul and R&B
Perfect for drinks receptions, stylish birthdays and corporate functions. Soul and R&B sets feel cool without trying too hard.
Live Piano and Voice
A brilliant choice for weddings and formal dinners. It’s elegant, timeless and emotionally powerful.
Before booking, ask yourself:
Do we want background ambience or centre-stage performance?
Will guests mainly be seated or moving around?
Is there a theme to match?
Clarity upfront saves you stress later.
Venues in Newcastle: What to Consider
Newcastle offers a mix of Quayside venues, hotels, social clubs and music bars. Each comes with practical considerations.
Quayside venues
Often modern and stylish, sometimes with sound restrictions. A solo singer is a smart choice as volume can be controlled easily.
Hotels
Great for weddings and corporate events. Check what AV equipment is provided and whether the singer needs to bring their own PA system.
Social clubs
Brilliant atmosphere, often very lively. Ensure the performer is comfortable with crowd interaction and high-energy sets.
Music bars
Acoustics vary. A seasoned Newcastle singer will adapt quickly and know how to work the room.
Always confirm:
Performance space size
Access times for setup
Power supply
Noise curfews
