Don’t rain on my parade
Somewhere over the rainbow

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance I already know it or can learn it quickly. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn and that it suits my style of singing and voice, then of course I am happy to do this for you. There is a fee of £30 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc.
