Get to Know Phoebe

From our 2017 archive, restored on 23 October 2026. This interview and wedding diary describe Phoebe’s work and preferences at the time; they are not a statement of her current representation, location or availability. The diary below is Phoebe’s account, lightly edited for spelling and readability.

Our original introduction described Phoebe as an accomplished singer-songwriter with classic pop tones and an infectious love of performing. It recorded her work in the UK and Los Angeles, writing and recording with artists including Pharrell Williams, and her experience as an X Factor finalist mentored by Simon Cowell. Those biographical details are retained here as part of the original 2017 account, rather than a newly checked current biography.

Diary entry, 25 May 2017: Joe and Kirsten’s wedding

Last weekend we performed and partied away on stage with the fabulous Joe and Kirsten.

Joe and Kirsten chose me and Claire to sing at their wedding, which worked out perfectly as we lived fairly close to each other. We set off from London to Eastington Park, a beautiful manor house near Bristol and Bath.

It took us about two hours to drive there and, of course, we stopped for coffee on the way! We usually got to gigs about four or five hours before we were meant to go on stage because we liked to soundcheck before the guests arrived. We also had to do our hair and makeup, to perfection of course!

The venue itself was truly beautiful and not only oozed elegance but had a really homely vibe. We were in our changing room and exploring the grounds for about three hours before we were called to soundcheck. In this time, guests were finishing up their food, which looked amazing, and cutting the cake.

We hopped onto the stage and completed our soundcheck, and then all the guests came in. They immediately joined in the fun and started dancing with us. We usually opened with the crowd-pleasing “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, which always got everyone going! For this gig, the songs chosen by Joe and Kirsten were absolutely excellent. They chose a mix of pop and Motown, which I especially love. One of my favourites that we performed was “Uptown Funk”.

Claire and I partied on stage and even went into the audience with the guests. Claire is excellent at getting the party going, and we really do have fun on stage together. I always love to sing with Claire; we have a really good connection and chemistry on stage.

After our party band performance came to an end, we naturally did an encore, and still the guests were hoping for more. We had to call it a night at midnight under the venue arrangements for that wedding. The band packed up and we headed home at about 1am.

Overall, the gig was awesome, and I wish Joe and Kirsten all the happiness in the world! Phoebe x
