About / Biography

I recently retired and now focused on performing a warm, enjoyable set of classic hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s for care homes, restaurants, private events and community occasions.

My repertoire includes well-loved songs by artists such as Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Cliff Richard, The Platters and many more — from relaxed ballads to upbeat favourites people know and love to sing along with.

I aim to create a friendly atmosphere with familiar music, whether that means gentle background entertainment for dining venues or a lively nostalgic singalong for residents, guests and audiences.

I provide a reliable, personable and professional solo performance, ideal for venues where warmth, nostalgia and connection with the audience matter
