Premium Singing Telegrams in Derry
A live, personalised surprise arranged for Derry's walled city centre, its riverside restaurants and the towns of the North West around it.
Singergram in Derry
What a surprise looks like here.
Derry's walled city centre is compact and steeped in history, and a surprise on Shipquay Street or within sight of the Peace Bridge carries a particular sense of occasion that the setting provides for free.
The city's identity is closely tied to the River Foyle, and riverside restaurants and hotels on both banks make for a genuinely memorable backdrop, whether the occasion is a birthday, a proposal or an anniversary.
Derry sits further from the rest of the UK than almost any other city Singergram covers, and every performer makes the journey specifically for the booking, typically by flight or ferry followed by a road journey. This distance is entirely workable, but it does mean that booking well ahead of the date is more important here than almost anywhere else.
Where it happens
Rooms across Derry
Riverside restaurants and hotels
Restaurants and hotels along the River Foyle, on both the Waterside and cityside banks, make for a striking setting for anniversaries and proposals, and we agree timing with the venue beforehand.
Restaurants within the city walls
The historic streets inside Derry's walls hold a number of characterful restaurants well suited to a birthday surprise, often in a snug or private corner of the room.
Family homes across the city
Whether it happens at a family home, an office near the city centre or a private dining room, we coordinate the details with you first so the surprise fits naturally into the occasion.

Reasons people arrange one
Birthdays, anniversaries and proposals can all be arranged in Derry, whether the setting is a family home, a city-centre restaurant or a spot along the Foyle.
The difference
Not someone turning up, singing once, and leaving.
A Singergram is arranged, not booked off a shelf. Everything below is decided before the performer sets off for Derry.
- 01Professional live vocals, from performers who sing for a living
- 02A personalised message written from what you tell us
- 03Songs chosen for the person, not pulled from a fixed list
- 04Real interaction with the recipient, not a recital at them
- 05Surprise logistics coordinated with you, and with the venue
- 06The performance shaped around the occasion and the room
The company
Professional singers covering Derry
Singergram works with carefully selected professional performers serving Derry and the surrounding area, subject to availability. Every performer is chosen for the occasion rather than assigned by postcode — which is why the first thing we ask about is the person receiving the surprise.
Coverage

In their words
Genuine reviews from Singergram clients
Reviews from across the UK, reproduced as written.
Amazing customer service delivering an extraordinary experience by a very talented singer. Highly recommended!
I organised everything from Romania as a surprise for my husband in London, and the entire experience was seamless. Simon was our singer, and he was absolutely fantastic. My husband's reaction was priceless.
We had the most fantastic performance from Simon for my mum's 60th birthday on Friday. He remembered all of our names, the jokes and anecdotes about her. Not only was Simon professional, he was funny, witty, charming — and with a great voice to boot!
Questions
Singing telegrams in Derry
How much does a singing telegram in Derry cost?
+
The price depends on the length of the performance, the venue and how much personalisation is involved, so rather than give a fixed figure we prefer to hear about your occasion first. You will then be given one clear price, agreed before booking, with nothing added later.
How far in advance should I book a performance in Derry?
+
Derry sits further from the rest of the UK than most cities Singergram covers, and every performer travels by flight or ferry followed by a road journey to reach it. Booking several weeks ahead is strongly advised, particularly for weekend and evening occasions.
Can you perform at a restaurant within the city walls?
+
Yes. If the surprise is planned for a restaurant inside the walls, we contact the venue in advance to confirm the best time and where the performer should wait, so nothing is given away.
Do you cover towns near Derry such as Strabane and Limavady?
+
Yes. Coverage extends to Strabane, Limavady, Coleraine and the wider North West alongside the city itself, subject to availability.
Can you arrange a riverside proposal along the Foyle?
+
Yes. If the moment is planned for a riverside restaurant or spot along the Foyle, we work with you beforehand on timing and positioning so it lands exactly as planned.
