About

Hello, I'm Simon Partridge and my elegant vocals have added instant style and sophistication to hundreds of weddings across the UK since I began singing professionally in 2006.

My repertoire of over 150 classic songs from the 1920s, 30s and 40s creates the perfect soundtrack for any part of your wedding and will delight guests of all ages.

I'm a solo, self-contained act with a range of flexible PA options which means I can entertain any number of guests, inside or out, without overwhelming conversation. An art-deco style backdrop adds a discreet sense of style to each performance and in addition, my faithful companion, Gloria the Gramophone, travels everywhere with me to add her own special charm to the day.

I'm based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, but I travel all over the UK. In the past 18 years I've performed at venues including The Ritz Hotel, The Ivy, Claridges, The Lanesborough, Cardiff Castle and The Imperial War Museum at Duxford.

Got questions? Drop me a line! I deal with every booking myself so you're guaranteed a personal service from first contact right through to the last note being sung.

Let's make some memories.
