Description
Can provide what I call a normal night of varied music ( mainly 60's and 70's ) both listening and get and up and dance stuff. Can also provide you with an hour of swing, an hour or more of country or an hour plus of Neil Diamond. Can also do you a completely acoustic set with guitar for small groups. I will weigh up my audience to the best of my ability and to all intents and purposes try to deliver an evening of entertainment to suit their preferences. If they are in listening mode I will do some easy listening material and then, when they decide they would like to do some dancing, I have pl ... enty to get them going. Although, in some cases I have had younger crowds thoroughly enjoying the night, it is advisable to bare in mind, that my act is best suited for a slightly more mature audience.
Set-List
60's,70,s Music Mainly. Please read description above as will give you more information.
Biography
David St Paul Personality Vocalist
A consummate, professional performer with a diverse range of experience dating back to his teenage years in the late 1960’s.
Classically trained from age 16 and knows how to use the voice as an instrument and adapt to most genre’s with ease.
From age 13, fundamentally, an acoustic performer with guitar and vocals but equally at home with other genre’s such as, COUNTRY, POP, ROCK, SWING, SHOW MUSIC.
On stage, David has an extremely laid back approach that instantly puts his audience at ease. There are no gimmicks or show bissy razzmatazz to di
... stract you, just the man, with his pleasant manner and superb voice. CLARITY > DICTION > LIGHT & SHADE, everything a good singer needs to turn the song into a story worth listening to.
Today, the world and his wife are all singers it seems, partly due to karaoke and reality TV shows. Many of them have voices but lack experience and do not always grasp the importance of “selling the song” in such a way that the listener can relate to it. David has this ability and has been enthralling listeners with his vocal talent for over 40 years.
During the 70’s and up to the early 90’s when the clubs were still a thriving part of communities, David travelled and worked all over the UK. His voice has also taken him to America and Australia, parts of Europe and more recently in 2013 a 6 month spell in Rhodes Greece.
David has also performed at Corporate do’s, weddings, private parties, restaurants, café’ bars, tavernas, theatres, festivals, TV, radio and even on private yachts. He has done some of this just acoustically with the guitar, this being still very much a part of who he is and where he started.
Since 2012, by request, David has on a number of occasions, incorporated into his act, an hour long tribute to the music of Neil Diamond. This is, purely David’s own interpretation of Neils impressive songbook and NOT, just another tribute act. However, having said that, the likeness and similarity in the performance of these songs is IMPRESSIVE, to say the least. A must for Neil Diamond fans anywhere.
So, if you have a do coming up and you want a seasoned professional singer with a bit of class message or email David.
Please state clearly, the type of function and what you require for the evening. i.e: Some Neil Diamond, a bit of swing, ballads, or a mixture of everything to get people up dancing. David will be very up front with you and if he believes that he is not the right act for your do, he will tell you.
When considering booking David for your function, club, pub or whatever, please bare in mind that his repertoire is best suited for the slightly more mature audience.

Meet the Act
I am an amiable character, so I have been told. My voice has held me in good stead all these years and I still have plenty of life left in me yet. Since 1975 I have lived in Lincolnshire and have predominantly worked the clubs around Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. In the early days I was managed by Jack Denman of The Denman Variety Agency, a true gent and a well respected agent. After Jack I was for a time managed by Bill Scorer, another very nice man, who looked after me well. In my freelance days I worked through many other agencies su ... ch as Lawrence Wheeler, Dukeries, NG Associates to name but a few.
