Lilly Farling is a piano player, singer and installation artist, whose varied performances share the common thread of her grace and captivating artistry.
She has a portable upright piano and, with her broad repertoire spanning ragtime, to the gentle, suave jazz piano of the 1930s, and to the upbeat, sing-along numbers that kept spirits up during the Second World War, Lilly brings the magic of a by-gone era to parties and corporate events.
Lilly also plays in a four-piece band called The Empire Hotel, performing a transfixing meld of jazz standards and newer material that shares the same luscious, timeless harmonies. She has a musical comedy cabaret act with her cross-Channel counterpart, the Baronessa; accompanies consolingly the mournful but beautiful blues singing of Dolores Miel; and can call upon her male dancing troupe The Gin Palace Gents to inject vim and fun to any gathering.
Lilly has her own projector and film screen that, with her large collection of early film, she uses to conjure up a 1920s atmosphere, either as part of a cabaret or as a side-piece in large parties.
Clients who hire Lilly for her installation piece, La Fleur Mecanique, can be sure their guests will long remember the entrancing sight of her playing a clockwork doll that emerges from amid the petals of a large silk flower. Elegantly spinning to the music of Chopin, with a wind-up key revolving from her back, this chimerical vision will continue to mesmerise and bewitch long after the performance is over.
