Simon Dorey Song List Important information BEFORE you read this song list: Being a singer and musician who performs at many weddings and functions, it is my job to cater for all tastes and to have a repertoire that covers many different styles of music. I guarantee you will not like every song on this list, and this is completely normal. So in order for me to cater my singing to your event, please feel free to make notes and highlight the songs you like, dislike, and don t mind. Please bare in mind I will not be performing all the songs listed here but will sing roughly 10 to 12 songs per 45 minute performance. Please see Example Set Lists for more information at the bottom of this document. It is never a good idea to make up sets for me to sing as quite often, when singing live, the genre, feel and tempo of songs is very important to get right and choose at the right time. It s about reading your crowd, and knowing when to play certain songs. I treat my songs like ammunition, and sing particular songs at particular times to ensure the best outcome. I have chosen my songs carefully, and have made professional adjustments in a studio where necessary so that some songs mix into each other, for example: Happy by Farrell and Dance With Me Tonight by Olly Murrs have the same tempo and so I have professionally mixed these songs into each other seamlessly, thus keeping the beat steady and constant. This all makes for a better dancing experience and means there is less start- stopping on the dance floor. Another example, I would probably not sing a slow song like Chasing Cars at 11pm at night when the dance floor is full, and I would probably not sing I Gotta Feeling at 8:30pm. (I say probably because every wedding or event is completely unique, and sometimes doing just this would still be ok, but as a rule of thumb, I tend to want my sets to be as lively as possible in the evenings, with the 2 nd set being even more upbeat). With this in mind, I look forward to receiving this document back with your thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Ceremony & Wedding Breakfast Piano Song List.
