Lucy Ballard.

I'm a saxophonist and clarinettist who can provide musical entertainment for a variety of special occasions, from weddings to corporate entertainment.

As well as performing, I also offer private tuition for beginners to professionals.

My childhood passion for the saxophone lead me to study it in my early 20's, and within 4 years I obtained a distinction at Grade 8 with the Associated Board of The Royal Schools of Music and more recently have been awarded a Performance Diploma and an Instrumental Teaching Diploma.

I quickly became a member in various rock 'n' roll bands, and subsequently function bands playing at venues including The Institute of Directors, London; The Mayfair Hotel, London; and Lansdowne Members Club, London.

My classical training gave me the love of playing passionate ballads as well as fun, light hearted swing/jazz on the saxophone and classical & traditional songs on the clarinet. This has lead me to become a popular musician for weddings, cocktail receptions and dinner parties for a variety of clients including Duncan Bannatyne (of Dragon's Den), Natwest Bank, BWB Solicitors and BMW, playing at venues including Hever Castle, Leeds Castle, Stapleford Park and many hotels across the South.

My extensive repertoire covers songs from classical & traditional to early swing/jazz through to modern love songs, which enables me to create the right atmosphere for any occasion.
