About / Biography

My music creates an elegant backdrop for drinks parties whilst guests chat and mingle.

  • "...absolutely superb performance, lovely gentle jazz music."
  • "What a voice!...

    Penny performed in our restaurant during an evening of tapas and wine. The mood was perfect and the tone was beautiful. Penny’s performance was outstanding playing lots of classic jazz. I would definitely recommend and we will be booking again soon"

I use a Bose PA system and backing tracks. I'm covered by PLI and have an up-to-date PAT certificate.
