Sarah Palmers Repertoire
I play piano ballads from the 1920s to the present day. I am always happy to learn new pieces (given plenty of notice) if you require them. I do my own interpretation of all the songs and they are done in a piano 'ballad' style (or cocktail-stylee!)
My playing is not designed to be the 'main event', it is designed to be subtle, unobtrusive background piano music. I therefore do not do concerts, sing-a-longs or play for people walking down the aisle or ceremonies. My playing is very suitable for wedding breakfasts. I usually choose pieces according to their suitability to the event e.g. I wont play love on the rocks at a wedding!!
