Lucy's Reviews

5 out of 5

Lucy was helpful in advising us we would need a chorded instrument to back up our singer for a song, turned up promptly, having let us know she was on her way, and she played beautifully the type of music we were looking for. An excellent contribution to our splendid day, and lots of good feedback from guests.

The Sparrows of Paris perform regularly at Green Note and delight our patrons with a mix of vintage french chansons and french jazz. They are loved by our audience in search of a Parisian feel reminiscent of old french cinema and Edith Piaf but also of the classic gypsy jazz tunes of Django Reinhardt.

One of the most talented musicians we have ever had the pleasure of playing with."
