Inspired by music from her early years, Fiona hit the Clubland scene at the age of 15 working with live backing musicians. Also having worked as a studio engineer through to pub licensed trade management – she has a wealth of experience on both sides of the business. The venues she has performed in range from: cocktail lounges and hotels with her live duos, trios and bands who performed an eclectic mix of material from self written pieces to popular covers from way back to the latest releases. She is happy entertaining in small intimate restaurants right through to large venues where her boundless energy and larger than life performance can be appreciated.
With a passion for many genres of music, she can cover classic 50/60’s tracks (which pleases a more mature clientele) right through to the latest hits to keep the younger ones happy. Covering mainly Pop, but also a little Light Country plus Commercial Rock, Latin, Dance, Soul n Motown, R&B – she takes the crowd through to some current chart hits should they so wish. All styles are catered for and audiences warm to her whether they are dining to her ‘Sounds of Karen Carpenter Show’ or ready to party, party, party with a selection of tailor-made sets that can be pre-requested or selected by herself based on the crowd on the night – these include: Blondie & Fi’s Flashback to The 80s Night, The Sensational 70s Special, Swinging 60s & The Mega Motown Night.
Using quality sound, lighting and special effects, she creates an appropriate ambience for dancers and viewers alike and complimentary music is played in between sets to keep the atmosphere going. There can also be an optional disco taken into the early hours subject to a relatively minor surcharge.
