A live, personalised performance arranged for Sunderland's city centre, its riverside and the close-knit communities of Wearside.
Singergram in Sunderland
What a surprise looks like here.
Sunderland has a strong sense of local identity, built on its shipbuilding and industrial past, and a birthday marked in a working men's club or a terraced street is as significant an occasion as anything held in a grander venue, with the performance pitched accordingly.
The city's regenerated riverside along the Wear has brought newer bars and restaurants into the mix, offering a change of pace from the more traditional venues elsewhere in the city for anniversaries and proposals.
Sunderland sits within easy reach of Durham and the Tyneside conurbation, and the surrounding coastal towns are covered just as readily, where a hall or a pub function room serves the occasion just as well as anything in the city centre.
Where it happens
Rooms across Sunderland
Working men's clubs and pubs
Sunderland's clubs and pubs remain genuine, well-used venues for birthdays and retirements, and a performance here is built to hold a warm, familiar room rather than a stage-set audience.
Riverside bars and restaurants
The regenerated stretch along the Wear has brought a newer style of venue into the city, well suited to anniversaries and proposals looking for a more contemporary setting.
Family homes across Wearside
From Sunderland's terraced streets to newer estates further out, a home performance remains one of the most personal ways to mark a birthday.

- 03Songs chosen for the person, not pulled from a fixed list
- 04Real interaction with the recipient, not a recital at them

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!
