Repertoire/Play Lists
The music I play comes primarily from three sources:
Jazz standards: Material from the so-called "Great American Songbook". Classic songs by George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and many more, plus swing numbers made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Matt Monro and many others.
Songs from musicals and movies: From classic Rogers and Hammerstein numbers (Oklahoma!, The Sound of Music, South Pacific) right through to the great melodies of Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Aspects of Love etc) and everything in between.
Classic pop tunes: From the pens of Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul Simon and dozens of others.
Below are some of the songs I know and play regularly. There are far too many to list them all here, so if you don't see your favourite, just ask!

Do you do requests?
The answer, of course, is most definitely yes. Requests are very welcome, and I have an extensive and wide repertoire, as a quick scan of this page will confirm. I will always do my best to field requests from yourself and your guests on the day of the engagement.
However, if you really, really want
to hear a particular song during my performance there's
only one way to guarantee hearing it, and that's to request
it well in advance. This means I have time to learn it
(if not previously known to me) and really do it justice.
Most people have songs which really mean a lot to them
so please do mention these to me when booking!
