A digital or acoustic upright or grand piano.
No, but I am able to if neccessary.
I do not drive so will require an address to reach the venue travelling with someone else or by public transport.
Yes. I have Spotify Premium so am happy to provide this before, after and between sets.
I performed in Durham Cathedral at a University college event. To play in a space so ancient and unique was a transformative experience and not one I could forget!
Chopin and George Gershwin are my two greatest influences, on the one hand reflecting my love for Romantic piano music and on the other, the great influences of Classical music in jazz which Gershwin so wonderfully represents.
I started performing at my secondary school assemblies and school concerts, frequently playing as a solo performer, which secured my confidence and artistry in front of crowds of above 200 people. Since then, I have continued to perform during my time at university, at private functions and concerts in a range of venues. My experience in a professional choir has also given me valuable gigging experience, including a tour in South Wales and Jersey.
Concerts and events in unique or historical venues are always a favourite, but whatever the location I am always overjoyed to entertain guests.
I normally arrive 30 minutes to an hour before performance to prepare and familiarise myself with the piano or keyboard. I am happy to play for longer or shorter times than arranged.
Yes! I love to play outside in terrace or garden locations, but would request a shady location for the piano.
Absolutely! I have a wide range of music I can bring to the gig but am happy to take some requests but would normally limit this to a few songs.
