About / Biography

I play and sing versions of pop songs, jazz standards and evergreens - whatever seems suitable for the audience I'm entertaining. I create a mellow atmosphere which is subtle enough for people to be able to carry on their conversations, but that rewards listeners with musicality if they wish to 'tune in'. I have a repertoire of about 400 pieces, but am happy to add to it if there are favourites the client wants to request - if I can learn them, I will! I have been doing this for a while, and so I am well accustomed to adapting to what is needed, and picking up on the mood of a room.

I have performed in the London Park Lane Hilton, The Dorchester, Cafe Royal, Claridges, Annabel's, as well as venues abroad such as Casino Divonne, Maxim Geneva and Ballymaloe House.

I have also had a lot of experience entertaining people, and so, if the audience is in the mood to participate, I can go with it and have some fun!
