Sarah Kershaw is a professional pianist and singer who has been bringing a touch of class to many weddings, events, and lounge bars in the UK and abroad for the past 15 years. A versatile musician, she is a classically trained pianist having acheived a first class honours degree from Birmingham Conservatoire, which means she can not only provide elegant piano music on it's own, but can also use her piano skills as a sensitive and dextrous accompaniment to her sweet and soulful vocals. Her training also enables Sarah to play a broad range of musical styles from classical and jazz to rock and pop ensuring every taste is catered for. During her career so far Sarah has played in a wide variety of venues. She has been resident at hotels such as The Ritz and The Melia White House in London, and in restaurants such as The Criterion in Piccadilly and various UK branches of The Living Room and Pizza Express. She has also performed on numerous years at a VIP tent for Wimbledon Tennis championship. Through impressing her audiences during these performances Sarah has been booked to do many weddings and events, both corporate and private, and she enjoys the more personal touch she can bring to these occasions. Clients are invited to suggest any songs in advance that they would like to hear Sarah play and she can even set a personal poem to music if you wish, as she is also an avid composer!

Sarah provided an amazing accompaniment to our wedding ceremony. She was very accomodating with our music requests and played beautiful acoustic versions of some of our favourite songs. She did a brilliant performance with very little support or oversight from us which was very helpful on a very busy day. Thank you Sarah!

A welcome return by Sarah to sing and play for www.londonlodge.org.uk after dinner. She has a lovely voice, is an excellent pianist, has a better-than-most sound system and a friendly and confident manner. She also learned some requests we had asked for. What’s not to love? We have booked her again for next year. (10 / 10)
