At 16 she moved to the UK where she studied Performing Arts in Shrewsbury for four years. She then specialised in Music, Dance and Popular Songwriting at Midlands Academy of Dance and Drama in Nottingham. She then returned to France where she toured the Paris Jazz scene, singing in cabarets and piano bars. Upon her return to England in 2008, Elly took up the position of Assistant Director of Music with Ludlow Young Voices and subsequently Bournville Young Singers.

Testimonials
Joe you were highly professional from the minute I contacted you. All of the suppliers for our wedding were fantastic but you were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for you and I couldn't have made all of those little decisions which made the day so perfect without your help and guidance. I would and will be recommending you to anyone who needs your type of service. I really cannot thank you enough for being so friendly and responsive to all of my incessant pestering. I hope that I shall meet you again in the future. P. J. Halesowen
Hi Joe The music was just brilliant - it was wonderful walking up to the reception and hearing the soft sounds of the piano - it complimented our afternoon tea beautifully. It just made it perfect. The service was excellent - it couldn't have been better - so easy to contact you and arrange everything! I couldn't have been happier with my choice of pianist! C.W. Belbroughton
Dear Joe Wow - what a day we had. Thanks for your help in making it such a happy one. We would recommend anyone to book you for their entertainment. We had some very musical people at our party who were most complimentary about you. You played just the right kind of music. Thanks again for helping us make our day such a success. Kind regards M.D & N.D Gloucester
Hello Joe My wife and I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for last Saturday. YOU MADE OUR DAY! Words can’t convey how much we want to thank you. You were a true pro! Thanks again and all the best. D.A. Hertfordshire

"JG played flawlessly at or wedding. He judged the crowd perfectly with the type of music he played throughout the ceremony, and at the following drinks receptions.
JG was also brilliant at helping us with understanding timings for songs, and adjusted arrangements accordingly so that they would fit in perfectly.
He was an absolute gent - I couldn't recommend him highly enough! Thank you very much.

"We had JG Piano booked for a private cocktail party in our home. I thought he was very sensitive to our requirements and set the tone beautifully for the evening. He was very polite, professional and played most of our suggestions. This was also a late booking so all credit to him for playing a great selection of music. "

"Hi Joe.
Thank you and Elly for another smashing performance last Friday. We all enjoyed the piano music and singing, there were many complimentary comments on the night and at our AGM on Saturday.
Everything was just perfect - a wonderful song selection, just right for our taste and exactly the right level of sound during dinner and afterwards for the dancing. The singalongs went down a storm and we shall definitely book again next year.
With all good wishes."

"An excellent service from Alive Network that resulted in a good booking; yes they will be my preferred choice in the future.
Joe contacted me well in advance. I explained the event and the audience and left everything to him and it all worked. On the night “JG Piano and Elly” were excellent. There was a great choice of music that fitted the event/audience mood well. It made the night, thank you."

"JG Piano played at our wedding ceremony this September. We gave him a list of the songs we liked from his repertoire & asked him to play what he thought would suit each part of the ceremony, which he got spot on.
Loads of our guests commented how much they enjoyed his music. We also asked him to learn 'One Day Like This' by Elbow about a week beforehand, which he did, but also worked out how best to make it fit with Bryonie walking down the aisle. It was perfect.
JG Piano is truly talented & an absolute gentleman to boot. We can't thank him enough.
Iain & Bryonie

"JG Piano was perfect for our wedding, he contacted me a few weeks before and we discussed the type of music I wanted. He asked if we had any sort of specific dress code too. I left it to JG to pick the songs and on the day he didnt let us down. I would recommend hm to anyone who is thinking of booking him.
Alive Network were really helpful and very quick to conirm availability and booking. Our co-ordinateor was very friendly and helpful. Would use again.
