Lucy

Hi there! I'm Lucy, I am a music therapist working as a performer and music teacher in the North of Ireland/across the North East England. I am a music graduate of Newcastle University and Nordoff Robbins MMT *Edit Oct'25; I am no longer based in the North East of England, enquiries from here will now include more travel costs. Thanks. :)* I am a classically trained pianist, saxophonist and trumpeter. However these days I play in big bands, a punk-indie-ska band, and frequently play wedding gigs with sax and DJ. So, whatever your musical vision is, we can work together to curate a musical experience that is just what you need! I would love to bring some big saxy vibes to your wedding/event! I offer an Ibiza-sax style performance to bring the energy to any party! i love playing along to club classics and big sax hits, but equally I love upbeat yet relaxed house vibes; let's work together to create YOUR perfect vibes. DJs are normally happy to collaborate with me, (if you have booked a DJ do let me know) alternatively, I can play to a backtrack and work with you to curate the best playlist for you! I have a lot of experience with this kind of work so any queries I can happily but to rest :) I am currently available as a wedding/events singer, and as part of this performance I am happy to include my other instruments (saxophone, trumpet, clarinet, piano) if this was of interest to you, (possible additional fee, depending on work load.) I am an Irish singer and love beautiful lilting melodies, however I equally enjoy singing all sorts, and can work with you to make a playlist of songs that is best suited to your tastes. My karaoke song is 'Man I feel like a woman!' Otis Redding, Taylor Swift, Bon Jovi - we can do it all! I have been performing for 15 years now and have notably soloed in Belfast's Ulster Hall and Newcastle University's Kings Hall, and had a short term residency in an Irish bar in Greece (Crete.) I have recently played at The Glasshouse International Centre for Music in Gateshead. I am also available for hire as a community musician and music therapist. As a music therapist I work with various communities of people, notably at the minute, adults with profound and multiple physical and learning disabilities and women with mental health needs. I am available for 1:1/small group sessions for both children and adults; I offer these at a discounted rate as I am in training. I am also keen to gain experience with the following client groups; dementia and behaviour reform. A large part of my work in music therapy is centred around improvising with clients and so feel comfortable improvising in many styles and on many instruments.
