Many friends and neighbors were like under a spell during Christy's concert. She is a charismatic, warm, versatile and passionate performer who creates a strong connection with all ages.

What is a house concert?

A house concert is a get-together of friends in your home with live music, often with food, drink and socialising. House concerts are intimate and cosy and allow your guests to make a special connection with the artist and her music. You can request some favourite songs or just leave the set-list up to me.

​

A concert can be for different types of occasions

•  A special birthday

•  A way of bringing your friends or neighbours together

•  An excuse to have a small or big party in your house

• A surprise present for a special friend or partner

• A garden event for a summer’s evening

• A cosy winter gathering

​

How many people should you invite?

House parties are about quality, not quantity. You can have small gathering of 10 or 20 friends or 30-40 for a special party.

​

What do house concert cost?

House concerts normally cost 10 pounds per person, with a minimum overall cost of 200 pounds. The homeowner can decide to pay the whole cost, ask each friend to contribute a fixed sum, or ask guests to contribute by voluntary cash or mobile pay donations on the night.

​

Travel

If your location is outside of my local area (central Scotland - and occasionally Trondheim, Norway!), then I will ask you to contribute to travel costs in addition to the above price.

​

How does the concert last?

Concerts are normally an hour.

​
