Marianne Smith

I started playing the Accordion at ten years of age, inspired by my Father who played in music halls around the country as a teenager. Along the way I also took up Organ and Keyboard. For the past sixteen years I have regularly entertained audiences, with ten years experience performing in residential homes. In 2016 I was invited to appear at Haslemere Fringe Festival, after being a regular busker at Weyhill Artisan Market. I have also taken part in the Woking Town Centre street entertainment programme and guested at Hampshire Farmers Market. With an extensive repertoire from Over the Rainbow to I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts as well as classics like Moon River and Under the Bridges of Paris, I can adapt my music programme to suit your needs. Special or Seasonal sets such as Christmas and Easter can be performed, as well as working with you on any Themed events such as French or Old-Time Sing-Along. Let me come and lighten up your room with my endearing and vivacious stage presence. I am DBS certified, Health & Safety qualified, have some Dementia awareness training and Public Liability Insurance.
