About / Biography

DAVID PERKINS - PIANIST & ACCOMPANIST

Based in Shepperton UK, I work as a freelance pianist, keyboard player and accompanist, playing for exams, concerts, revues, cabaret, classes, rehearsals and functions. I am currently the regular accompanist for three choirs in the Surrey area, and the charity Liberty Choir, working in prisons in London and the south-east. I am equally at home accompanying beginners and experienced professionals alike.
