James Barlow (The Wedding Singer)

as well as 100s of other manors, halls, statley homes, castles and in every well-known hotel chain in the UK. (Full list here).

James can most commonly be found entertaining in: Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, West Midlands, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Yorkshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire.

James is entirely web-based and The Wedding Singer service enables a hassle-free, largely online booking process designed to fit in with the hectic lives of the modern-day bride and groom. Solely web-promotion also helps to keep costs down and as you will see from our pricing, a full evening - wedding singer and DJ package costs little more than many stand-alone mobile DJs.

In his live music set

The concentration on live vocals in his live music sets means that James can achieve the best sound possible. Full bands, often with 4-12 live musicians are not only expensive but run the risk of sounding poor unless every member is a 100% competent player. Their sound is also less versatile as many live instruments such as brass and drums are unable to play at quieter volumes. Full bands also need a large and complex PA system which is both difficult and time consuming to set up and, if configured incorrectly, can sound poor and ruin your special evening.

James' use of backing tracks means that he can concentrate on getting his vocal sound as perfect as possible. His backing tracks are of the highest digital quality and are, in many cases, obtained from the original digital audio tapes of original artists' versions; they are note perfect every time! He can accurately recreate your favourite songs at a fraction of the cost and with half the hassle of a live band.

The average function band charges from £200 per member, that's a minimum of £1200 for a six-piece band playing for an hour and a half and nothing in between!

The Wedding Singer's disco
