If you recognise Abi Alton it might be because as a teenager she gained experience performing in front of millions every Saturday night on the UK’s biggest singing competition The X Factor. It might be because her latest single ‘Never Come Back’ had a fantastic reaction among her 80,000 plus Twitter followers. Or you may even have had the pleasure of seeing her live yourself playing a gig across the UK, in Nashville and supporting Ellie Goulding.
Her debut EP ‘Souvenirs’ entered the Top 10 of the iTunes UK singer-songwriter chart and on Sunday 29 April Abi will be playing here at Birdsall House on our grand piano, where she will also be available to chat to you about live music at your very own wedding.

Taking time out from her busy schedule, Abi chats to us about her career and music:
Ambient, elegant and personal.
It was a real honour to have strings recorded at Abbey Road for an album of TV compositions I worked on last year.
With every booking I offer a complimentary consultation. This allows the couple the opportunity to hear a selection of songs they may have had in mind for the ceremony or first dance. It also gives me the chance to get to know them a little. I like to get to understand their music tastes. We also go through the logistics of the day so that I know exactly how I can complement it best.
At the moment I’m in love with Lewis Capaldi’s music. He’s a bit of an Ed Sheeran/James Arthur Hybrid.
The piano. I’m forever thankful for the lessons I had when I was younger!
Consider songs that may remind you of special or pivotal points in your relationship, or ones that have a sentiment that resounds with you as a couple.
Music wise, I write a lot as this forms a large part of what I do. In my spare time, I like running or tucking into a good Netflix series. At the moment I’m loving Suits!
