"Steve,
was absolutely fabulous, a true professional and a league above any other performer I have seen. His attention to detail whilst singing the songs was brilliant, changing lyrics so that myself and the grooms name was in the songs pure genius. He interacted with my guests and made sure everyone had a good time. Steve’s voice is out of this world if you want to have a celebration then this is the man you want.
I want to thank Steve again for making our wedding celebration magical."
"Outstanding! Professional! Classy! A gentleman! Funny! Lovely!
What a superb performance Steve put on. He was simply brilliant and I’d highly recommend him for any event. He interacted with our guests brilliantly and everyone loved his repertoire. A great guy with a fantastic voice, thanks for everything Steve, you were a star!"
'Stephen has performed at a number of events here at the Hilton Newcastle Gateshead including ‘The Glass Slipper Awards’. In true professional style his capacity to judge his audience is excellent! He is very adaptable, able to cater for all needs and expectations, thus ensuring that his audience has a fantastic time. Stephen is very entertaining, presentable and we can’t wait to have him perform here at the hotel again!'
Stephen will make your celebration amazing. We booked Stephen to sing at my Mams 80th Birthday Party in September and I found him to be very professional and friendly right from the first contact I had with him. He even asked if my Mam had a favourite song, which he learnt especially to sing for her on the night, which she was so happy about. Stephen sang Rat Pack songs in his first spot, which the guests listened to and sung along to. In his second spot he sang songs that filled the dance floor. Stephen has an amazing voice and a brilliant presence and rapport with everyone in the room. He makes jokes, comments on what is going on and changes words in the songs to fit in with the night. I would recommend Stephen to anyone. All of Mams guests have said what a brilliant performer Stephen was and what a great atmosphere there was in the room.
"I would like to recommend Stephen Halliday for any events, private parties and shows. I have had the privilege and great pleasure of seeing him perform on many occasions extremely professionally. He is not only an amazing singer, he is someone who makes any occasion very special and remembered by all. He is a true professional. Thank you Steve for giving not only my clients, but my mum, so many special memories.

‘We booked Stephen Halliday for our AA Rosette Boxing Day Gala Dinner and we weren't disappointed. Stephen pitched it perfect for our hotel guests who were soaking in the atmosphere enjoying old and new favorites. Fabulous voice! Great personality - guests loved him and so did the staff! Looking forward to inviting him back to perform (and so are our guests & staff) - we even had people dancing! Stephen is a talented performer who we would highly recommend for any function!’
Steve performed for us for the first time on New Year’s Eve at The Blackbird in Ponteland. Safe to say the event from start to finish was immaculate. The performance was fantastic and it made our evening very special. His choice of songs was perfect, his interaction with the audience was exactly what we wanted and the overall atmosphere was fantastic. We couldn’t have asked for any more. Looking forward to having Steve with us again soon for another perfect evening of music and entertainment
Stephen sang at our wedding in November at Lumley Castle, we would definitely recommend him for any event. The communication during our wedding planning was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for Stephen and he even offered to learn new songs for our big day. Stephen was very flexible and happy to perform two sets at either end of our day as we requested. Our Guests commented on how much they enjoyed the singing and entertainment. The entertainment and atmosphere Stephen brought to our wedding day was exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended!
Thank you Stephen Halliday for your fantastic performance at our Ruby Wedding Anniversary party. It was just great! You, with such a professional attitude and approach combined with your beautifully toned voice were an excellent added bonus to our celebration. You entertained us so well, as the perfect background ambiance with dulcet melodic sounds, as a super motivator for dancing when the time was just right and as the creator of a friendly cheery atmosphere. Everyone loved it and everyone expressed their delight. We loved the dancing and singing along with the many songs we knew. Your magic touched us all and made our great celebration so special and totally memorable. Thank you.
‘We would just like to thank the superb Steve Halliday for making our magical wedding a day to remember at the Quayside Exchange. Steve is so professional, a natural performer and oozes confidence with his fantastic voice. Our guest’s reaction to Steve on our big day was phenomenal and he will always be remembered by everyone. I would not hesitate in hiring Steve Halliday for any occasion as he is top class! Thanks Steve.’
"‘I thought I’d take a few minutes to tell you how much fun we had at our Christmas party last weekend on board the Royal Yacht Britannia. Your dazzling vocal style really made our Christmas party into the perfect do! I don't think I've ever danced so much in years and I know I haven't had a sing-a-long like that ever! You sang such a great range of songs that there was more than something for everyone. The evening was just brilliant and it will definitely take some beating. I know we will all be talking about it till next Christmas. Thanks again for helping to make it into such a fantastic night.
Please feel free to pass my recommendations on and use this email to tempt prospective future customers. Thanks again and i hope you have a great Christmas and happy, peaceful New Year.’"
Steve has an amazing performance quality and manages to make everyone feel like they’re part of the show. With his excellent voice and great humour his show is a winner every time. Steve performed for us in our packed restaurant on many occasions with his cool stylish first set and a second set that kept the dance floor packed all night. If you’ve already booked Steve then you’re in for a real treat.’
