Solo Singers in Newcastle upon Tyne

Hire a solo singer in Newcastle upon Tyne

One voice can set the tone for a whole day. Across Newcastle upon Tyne, solo singers perform at ceremonies, receptions and private parties, often accompanying themselves on guitar or piano, and many can move from gentle background songs to a livelier set later on.

Whether your wedding is near Newcastle and Gateshead or further afield, the solo singers here cover the whole of Newcastle upon Tyne. Local venues include Newcastle Civic Centre, Northside Farm and The Vermont Hotel, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Matfen Hall, Jesmond Dene House and Wylam Brewery, with details of each.

The right singer depends on the feel you want. A singer-guitarist gives a relaxed, acoustic sound; a singer-pianist feels more classic; a crooner brings the swing era into the room; and a singer with backing tracks can sound like a full band.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every solo singer listed here travels to Newcastle upon Tyne as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £250 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A singer with guitar suits a relaxed drinks reception or a ceremony in a smaller room. A singer-pianist works well where there's a piano at the venue, or for a more classic feel. Singers using backing tracks give you the sound of a full band from one performer, which suits a party or a later evening set.

Prices usually start from around £250 and go up to £900 or so. A single set for the ceremony sits at the lower end, while a singer covering the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast, or an evening set, sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

“Fantastic Singer and Entertainer. Very versatile from Solo Artist, DJ. Greg has a wide range of songs from 60s to present day and can adapt to any age group or type of party mood or function to suit individual needs. Absolutely brilliant entertainer and value for money. We have used him on several occasions and went down a storm every time.”

“Dale is a very talented musician with great ability on both bass and vocally. Dale covers all styles of music expertly and understands the role in enhancing guest experiences on board, encouraging their enjoyment in bars and dance areas. Dale’s onstage performance is always full of energy and he displays a clear passion for the music he is playing.”

“I’d recommend Ian without hesitation. Not only is he a huge talent with a fine repertoire, he is a genuinely good guy who was friendly and communicative during the build-up to my wedding. On the day itself he went above and beyond what I’d expect from a performer by allowing my son (a beginner on guitar) to play along to one of his songs. Ian is a top talent and a top man.”

“Joe was perfect for our wedding. He played and sang beautifully both during the reception and for 3 hours during the reception dinner and after-party. He made our day even more special. My family kept him busy all night making all kinds of song requests and he played them all! Booking him again for my mum's birthday party next year.”

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“His vast range of musical talent shone through and was picked up on by the feedback from the guests most of whom had never heard Jack play before. A special thanks to Jack also for learning a very special song for our first dance it meant a lot to us. He is so versatile in what he can play that we would not hesitate in recommending him for your special day. …”
