*Amazing act that will surprise your guests no end*

The act begins when 2 fireman enter the venue during the event. They are there to check that the venue is complying with Fire Regulations and check the Fire Exits and the Fire Extinguishers. They decide the venue does not come up to scratch and they make an announcement to everyone that the event must be closed down immediately because the venue has not passed the Fire Regulation requirements. The Head Fireman exits to speak to the manager and while he does Fireman 1 decides that before they are closed down, he will seize the opportunity to burst into song with a fabulous operatic tenor voice, while he has the audience’s attention. The head fireman returns to catch him at it and decides to join in the act, trying to outdo his singing talent with his own. They pull up an unassuming guest or waitress to sing with them who also turn out to be a wonderful singer!

Trish Lovelock, Corporate Event,
Hi Marie, Thanks for the email.The event was a total success and the ‘Firemen’ really livened the party up. It was a surprise and at first people were not sure what was going on, if it was serious or not, but after a few minutes all was revealed and everyone joined in with the singing & dancing. So many people have asked where I found the guys from and how did I book them etc. The booking process was easy and follow up telephone calls discreet so as not to give the game away. The entertainment was first class and all three had terrific voices. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. I have been asked what I am going for the next party that will top it, but I really don’t think I will be able to. Thanks again to Shaun and the members of Hot Stuff.

Dear Tracey, On behalf of my colleague Kay, I’m happy to provide the feedback. In short, the event was indeed fantastic and The Singing Firemen – well, what can I say other than that they were tremendously well received by our guests who have counted the event amongst our most successful. The Singing Firemen trio are talented, funny and they interacted extremely well with our group, their standing ovation was richly deserved. We’d recommend them without reservation. Please pass on our thanks to the performers involved and we look forward to receiving your suggestions for next year.

The Singing Firemen were absolutely fantastic - the audience loved them and, as you'll see from the pictures, really interacted with them. I'll most certainly be recommending them to other Event Organisers. Thanks again.

The Singing Firemen recently performed at the Marriot Hotel in the Forest Of Arden where they received a standing ovation half way through the act!

The Singing Firemen are also able to offer the following acts:

Solo Weddings Service - The Singing Firemen can provide a beautiful Soprano to sing Classical arias, Religious song’s and Romantic Love songs for your wedding service. The soloist can sing up to 5 songs for you during your service and will arrive self-contained with small music system and quality backing tracks. Alternatively, the singer may be accompanied by the church organ if you prefer. This option is perfect for both Church and Civil ceremonies.

Soprano Bella Solo - Leading Lady, Katrina Murphy, sings a selection of hits from West End Musicals, Famous Operatic arias and Famous Standards and Love Songs. This act usually comes in 2 x 30 minute sets.

Wonderful West End and Opera Gala - This really is for the connoisseur of Musical’s and Popular Opera containing Great Singers and Performer’s rolled into one! The act contains a combination of 1 Male and 2 Female singers or 2 Male and 1 Female singer performing hit songs from West End Shows, such as ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Les Miserables’, ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘Chicago’, as well as Opera favourites, including ‘Nessun Dorma’, ‘La Donna Mobile’ and ‘The Flower Duet’ to name but a few. Usually performed in 2 halves of 30 minutes each.

Tailor-made Shows - The Singing Firemen is also able to create especially themed shows specifically for your event. They have previously created shows such as ‘Moulin Rouge’ with 5 dancers and a contortionist and most recently a show called ‘Shaken and Stirred’ for a James Bond charity ball. Here Katrina Murphy sang a selection of the best James Bond songs with 5 Bond girl dancers, a Ballerina on point and a Martial Artiste!

The Surprise - Surprise and tantalise your guests with The Surprise Sopranos! The act consists of a singing Chef, Maître d’, Waitress or Guest. You have the option of the act with 2 singers (2 little maids) or 3 singers (3 little maids).

The Two Little Maids - This act contains the Singing Chef and Maître d’ characters. The Maître d’ appears throughout the whole of your meal, making sure your guests truly believe she is in charge of the catering staff at your event. At some point during the meal she makes an announcement that the Chef who prepared the meal, will be leaving the catering company to return to her native Italy. She brings up the Chef, who very bashfully thanks her and the catering company. She then seizes this as her opportunity to do what she has always wanted to do- and bursts into song!

The Maître d’ catching the end of the Chef’s display, storms up to her and banishes her back to the kitchen. She insists that she must somehow make up for the Chef’s behaviour by bursting into song herself! The Chef returns and confronts the Maître d’ and the act continues with witty dialogue, audience participation and hit songs from the world of Musical’s and Opera. The act last for approximately 30 minutes.

The Three Little Maids - This begins in the same way as The Two Little Maids but with the added option of having a Singing Waitress or having a Planted Guest on one of your tables, to really surprise your guests!

With the planted guest, it is pre-arranged that they have a believable disguise agreed with you beforehand, so that the people on their table really believe that they are, for example, ‘a long lost cousin who has been living in Australia for the past 10 years’!

She watches the Maître d’ and Chef’s performance, gradually getting more and more irritated and decides that she can sing better than the two of them put together and is going to show them how. She then produces a microphone from her hand bag and bursts into song from your guests table and joins the act. The ‘Guest’ is also available as a male option, which works fantastically and adds another dimension to the act.
