About / Biography

Create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere with some live background music.
I have a digital keyboard if needed and repertoire can be varied to suit your taste.

I originally learnt the accordion, often playing in my father's band at various functions, later in a separate group on keyboards. Whilst I had a career in Information Technology, I took the Associated Board classical piano graded exams.

More recently, as a semi-professional musician, I've collected together a solo repertoire.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

If my digital keyboard is needed (it is quite heavy) - then power point required and I will need to know if there are access problems e.g. stairs, and whether parking is available. Good lighting, though I can bring a clip-on light.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

With my own digital piano I can bring some extra speakers - though it is rare to need it.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Standard performance would be 2X60 minute spots, plus a 15 minute interval. If bringing my digital piano then I would arrive 30-40 minutes before hand to set-up.


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

I am happy to discuss repertoire beforehand. It's useful to know the age range attending, as that normally suggests what eras to concentrate on.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Lovely music, feel-good style. Not too loud, so it can be enjoyed without being intrusive.


Is Formal Dress Required?

Let me know if a suit is preferred to smart-casual.
