Surprise or announced?

Personal touches

Most tribute acts are happy to dedicate a song, lead a "Happy Birthday" singalong or invite the birthday person up (if they're game). Mention it when you enquire.

Getting the timing right

Book the tribute for after food, when guests are settled and ready for a show. Two sets with the cake in the middle works well for most parties. Finish with a DJ so the dance floor stays busy.

Practical tips

Book the act for after food is cleared
Put the cake between sets
Check space and power at the venue
