Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

If I'm playing at a venue with a piano/keyboard already, nothing at all! If I am bringing my own equipment, access to a standard UK power socket within 35 metres will suffice. If I am bringing my baby grand piano shell, I will need a performance space of around 2 meters square.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

All sound equipment can be provided by me.


What information do you require about a venue?

Any parking and loading information for venues will be required. Any directions that can't be found on Google Maps will be needed.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

No Spotify or DJ service is provided.

Performance Info

Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to perform outside provide the playing surface is flat and I have access to power.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

All jobs are completely bespoke to the client. Just let me know as soon as possible so I can source sheet music if necessary.
