Repertoire

This list represents most of my current playlist for 2008. If played back to back it would take over four hours to play - though I have a maximum playing time of three hours on any one day. I often also improvise around many different ideas and styles. If there is a certain tune that you would like to be played, at your wedding for example, given enough notice I will learn it just for you. (Please mention this at the time of booking as it may affect the price).
