Freddie’s Repertoire
This is vast and covers all the classic soul numbers that at one time you have fell in love with. To give you a better idea of just some of them scroll through the song listings below whilst listening and watching the great man himself in the video clips to the left.
Freddie’s act is a ninety minute show usually consisting of two 45 minute sets, three 30 minute sets or in some cases, a 1 hour non-stop show. Corporate Events tend to be special themed nights (SOUL and MOTOWN), usually a non-stop 1 hour high energy show spectacular of great up tempo Soul and Motown classics for everyone to dance to, and have a great time. Other corporate clients request a mixture of chilled out soulful ballads and up-tempo classics (two 45 minute sets or three 30 minute sets). Where the show is kept to a chilled out set, this performance would usually take place in a restaurant area, and this is a usual favourite for Valentine’s events. Where Freddie is required to perform two sets at weddings or birthday parties, it works extremely well when the first set (usually chilled-out soul classics) is done during the buffet and then an up tempo dance set later in the evening.
