Ginger is amazing. She arranged music for the whole day for our great barn wedding. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We just told her the styles of music we wanted throughout the day and she SMASHED IT. She sang a few songs whilst our guests arrived and 'Oh Happy Day' was stunning as we signed the register. A great Jazz trio played during our early afternoon guest arrival which was a great as it allowed people to chat and catch up over bubbles in the garden. And then she bought her nine piece funk and soul band to bring the party. The dance floor really was full all night. I feel like we were entertained by world class musicians who were amazing all day.

We hired Ginger for our annual corporate event and really can't recommend her highly enough.. We needed music on arrival that was accessible to all our guests of many different ages and musical tastes.. We opted for background soul and jazz with a big party at the end for those who wanted to stay. It was lovely to see our staff and customers welcomed with toe taping swinging jazz from a four piece band on arrival which morphed into a more soulful background sound as our guests gathered and talked and ate We didn't need to tell the band to do this they reacted to what was needed at the time. The finale was great as Ginger pulled together a nine piece band which played upbeat swing and then soul and disco. I really didn't expect our guests to dance but they did..all night. If you book her make sure she sings Proud Mary and your camera is ready. She is a class act with an amazing voice and a wonderful (retractable) stage presence. She was attentive and patient and helped me deliver an event that I am still receiving a lot of praise for. Everything I asked for she was able to deliver, from the wide ranging music choice, pick of the best musicians (they were fabulous). She even helped with the auction. I have booked for next year.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Clients seem to love that I am really approachable and am happy to communicate all the ways.. phone, text, social messaging. On gigs it is often commented that I am funny and friendly but I pride myself on being able to read the room.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Margate Winter Gardens University of Kent Deal Theatre Pizza Express London Canterbury Festival Herne Bay Festival Margate Festival Gulbenkian Theatre Speigeltent - Canterbury Malthouse Theatre Eurotunnel 25th Anniversary University of Kent - Elliot College University of Kent - The Venue

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Aretha Franklin Jocelyn Brown Billie Holliday Alicia Keys

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Eurotunnel 25th Anniversary party - played to over 4K in England and France

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Life changes.. so we can usually flex to accommodate.. just let me know when things change as soon as you can

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

We are more than happy to play your favourite tunes or genre through our PA during breaks, as soon as the PA is up or during take down. Let us have your playlist and we will happily plug in your device.. Do let us know if you need the PA until the venue closes as there is usually an additional charge for this of around £100

How much time do you need to set up?

As a duo or trio it will take c. 1 hour to set up and sound check. I also perform with funk soul and little big band outfits.. Funk and Soul six piece - 1.5 hours Nine piece Soul and Swing 2 hours

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes of course.. pick your favourite song and we will make sure it is included. I do find it is a good idea to let us craft the set list to fit your event be it dancing, attentive listening or background music. I have worked with the musicians I use for years.. so our song list is long and wide... it means we can be flexible on the night.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I bring my own PA and sound equipment for any accompanying musicians.. If your venue is outdoors or very big it is always a good idea to discuss sound and lighting during the booking process

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included I am happy to learn it for you. There is always a chance that I know it anyway! There is a fee of £40 for this per musician to take into account 1 hour of learning/ rehearsal time.
