I had a great time at Steve and Ellie’s wedding on Monday at Mere Brook House. They had both been round to the studio several times to discuss reprtoire and timings for the day and we got on really well. They too worked unusual hours so it was important to set out a clear plan while we were all available.
I set up the baby grand piano in my usual corner at Mere Brook House and played a few sets for the drinks reception. Steve suggested this should be just instrumental as I would be singing later on with the more upbeat sets. This worked well and the atmosphere built up throughout the day. We had a sing song and a bit of a dance in the evening but the plan was to create a nice backdrop and take a few requests from his guests who were close family.
Well, you couldn’t wish to meet a nicer couple! Off to the Maldives now for a bit of sun I believe. I’m sure they’ll be very happy…
