Paper Kite
Paper Kite are a highly entertaining, dynamic, deliciously different vocal harmony duo with great audience interaction.
Charles and Nikki's chemistry when performing draws the audience into their show and consistently captivates and enthrals. They are both lead vocalists in their own right and seamlessly move from lead to harmony vocals; adding their unique 'Paper Kite' magic to every song. They cover material from 50s to modern day and can tailor their show to suit their audience.
Charles who handles both lead, harmony and occasional guitar is a superb, experienced and lively showman. He has worked as lead vocalist with 60s and 70s bands such as Unit 4 Plus 2 (number 1 hit Concrete and Clay), The Mixtures (number 2 hit The Pushbike Song) and also backed Mersey Beat legend Billy J Kramer as a member of The Dakotas on the cabaret/holiday/theatre circuit.
Nikki also handles lead and harmony vocals and is a classically trained vocalist. She was a soloist with the renowned Cantamus Girls Choir. Her background is in Gospel music. She enjoys teaching singing but her real love is performing and entertaining with Charles. Her warm personality and stage presence engages any audience and her energy and 5 octave range is at times mesmerising.
Paper Kite have a superb RCF PA system with Allen and Heath mixer, top of the range Sennheiser radio microphones and a full light show.
Book Paper Kite with confidence, you're guaranteed a wonderful night!
