Christmas in My Blood

My love of Christmas music began as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral, where I had the honour of singing the solo verse of "Once in Royal David's City" — that magical moment when a single voice fills the cathedral to begin the Christmas service.

Those years instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of Christmas music to create atmosphere, evoke memories, and bring people together. Whether it's the reverent beauty of traditional carols or the joy of a festive singalong, I bring that same sense of occasion to every Christmas performance.

Absolutely! Many clients want elegant carols during the drinks reception, sophisticated background music over dinner, then building to energetic singalongs later. I'll work with you to plan the perfect flow for your event.
