The music I play stretches from light classics, through the Great American Songbook (Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Richard Rogers), the “Rat Pack” swing era of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Tony Bennett, classic pop from Elton John, Billy Joel and Van Morrison through to contemporary artists as diverse as Coldplay, Alicia Keys and Westlife, to name just a few.
I’m happy to play requests on the day of performance but please bear in mind that if there’s a particular song you do want to hear, it’s much better to request this in advance to avoid disappointment.
Below are just some of the songs I play regularly. This list is evolving and expanding all the time, so if you don’t see your favourite tune here, feel free to ask.
