About
Why not create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere on your birthday, anniversary etc, with some background piano music.
I enjoy playing well known songs from the charts, musicals, shows and films – mainly ranging from the 1930’s to the 1980's. There is a lot of good music out there that deserves to be aired.
** If you don't have a piano I can bring a digital keyboard. Feel free to contact me to discuss repertoire or any other issues.
Brief Biography
I originally learnt the accordion, often playing in my father's band at wedding receptions and similar functions, later in a separate group playing keyboards. Whilst I had a career in Information Technology, I made time to take the Associated Board classical piano graded exams, having classical lessons at what was the Brighton Music School.
Now returning to solo playing on the piano, with a wide repertoire of music spanning many years.

+ Music for Christmas
If you need me to bring a digital piano (it is quite heavy) - then power point needed and I will need to know if there are access problems e.g. stairs, and whether parking is available.
A typical gig would be 2 hours playing , plus an interval.
