FROM A CUSTOMER'S [CARE HOME] FACEBOOK PAGE! .... "Pianist, Nick Raison, is one of our most popular and regular entertainers here monthly, since 2010. A highly experienced solo performer and accompanist. Nick's repertoire is mainly from 'The Great American Songbook' era from the 1920's but he also has a huge variety of 'gems' which can be played ... and two particular favourites that our residents often request and love to sing old and newer favourites.
Nick has a delightful rapport with our residents and when they see any chairs being moved, they immediately ask if it's to make room for the lovely Mr Raison and his piano."

  http// WWW.NICKRAISON.CO.UK   NICK RAISON is a highly experienced solo performer and accompanist with a repertoire mainly from “The Great American Songbook” era from the 1920, 30's, 40's, 50's ... and slowing down just BEFORE Rock 'n Roll/Top 10/Skiffle etc. You are pretty unlikely to hear anything from today's Top 40! He has a wide-ranging repertoire (... repetitions by request only) playing for up to 5 hours  a day. His style is 'free and easy' with a hint of "Charlie Kunz", "Hutch" [without the voice!] and "Carroll Gibbons". For Cocktail Piano Music and Ambient Music he plays  working around a song-list of about 750+ song titles. The total repertoire extends well beyond this.  If specific songs are requested for special occasions (eg bride's entrance, birthdays, wakes etc) these can usually be included … with enough warning .  He plays at about 70+ widely varied 'gigs' per year.  www.nickraison.co.uk
