Happy New Year neighbours!

I'm on the look out for a pianist to practice and perform with (practicing every week or so and performing every month or two once we have a set list). Someone fun who I get on well with, and who is keen to play music from the likes of Eva Cassidy, Sarah McLaughlan, Adele etc open to other suggestions and wanting to produce versions of these songs with our own style - not something too close to the CD recordings! I have a CD recording for anyone keen to see whether my style/voice would suit their tastes. Keen to chat with anyone this resonates with! Thanks :)
