Can you arrive as a surprise?

Yes - happens often. Tom can arrive in plain clothes, set up quietly during another part of the night, and start the moment you give the signal.

Do you do Happy Birthday?

Done properly, with the room joining in - not a karaoke moment. Always at the agreed moment, never sprung on the guest of honour without warning.

What if only the birthday person likes George Ezra?

Tom's a wedding-tested singer. The set can lean tribute or extend into wider repertoire - discussed during the planning call.

Can you play in a garden or marquee?

Yes - solo and duo formats work in marquees and garden setups. We'll talk through power, weather contingency and timings before the day.

Can you play at a home or marquee party?

Yes - solo and duo formats are designed for home parties and marquees. We bring a self-contained PA and only need a mains power socket within reach.

What space do you need?

Solo fits a corner about 2m × 2m. Duo needs roughly 3m × 2m. Full band needs around 4m × 3m. Send a photo of the space if you're unsure and we'll confirm.

How far do you travel for birthdays?

UK-wide, with a no-travel-fee core region across the North of England. See our coverage page for the full picture.

George Ezra Tribute for Birthday Parties

The live tribute act that works for the birthday - not against it. 30ths through 60ths, mixed crowds, every age group dancing.

Milestone birthdays are hard to book for. You've got 25-year-olds and 75-year-olds in the same room and you need music that lands with both.

A George Ezra tribute is one of the few catalogues that does exactly that - without anyone having to compromise. Whether it's a 30th in a pub function room, a 40th in a marquee, a 50th at home or a 60th in a hotel ballroom, the show scales to the room and keeps the mixed-age sweet spot singing from the first chord.

By milestone

Tuned to the room you're filling

30ths

Ezra's catalogue is your generation's soundtrack. Every song lands.

40ths

The crossover sweet spot. Big hits, big singalongs, proper night out.

50ths

Your friends know the pop hits; you know the full albums. Works either way.

60ths

Dinner-and-drinks formats work brilliantly. Budapest, Paradise, Hold My Girl all translate.
