About / Biography

About me:

I am passionate about playing the piano and performing for people! I have over thirty years' experience of playing the piano at weddings, parties and other social corporate and functions, and can fit in with whatever plans you have and whichever venue you choose.

I have a vast repertoire of songs at my fingertips from modern pop and blues, to songs from the shows, classical and jazz standards. I can also learn new songs quickly if you have any requests. It is not possible to list all the songs and pieces I can play as it would be far too long, however the short list of artists below I hope gives you a flavour of the range of styles that I like to play:

Ludovico Einaudi, Yiruma, Elton John, Phil Collins, Lady Gaga, Tom Odell, Bruno Mars, Eric Clapton, Jason Mraz, Take That, Robbie Williams, Lewis Capaldi, Rod Stewart, The Beatles, Adele, Billy Joel, Bach, Pachelbel, Chopin, Carly Simon, The Temptations, Queen, Elvis Presley, Fleetwood Mac, Simon and Garfunkel, Randy Newman, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, Johnny Cash, Oasis, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Van Morrison, Meat Loaf, Richard Clayderman….and many, many more.

Before the day

Ahead of your big day we can discuss all your requirements over the phone covering the style of music you would like, the length of time you would like me to play, the timings of the day, set-up, logistics and location. I can provide advice regarding what kind of music is appropriate for your event and I can also liaise with anyone helping with you the organisation and logistics of the day to make sure my musical accompaniment fits in seamlessly. You can also get in touch with me any time in the run-up if you have any new ideas or if there have been any changes to timings.

On the day itself

I will arrive around an hour before I am due to start playing to ensure I have plenty of time to set-up before your guests arrive. The first time you will see me is when I am already set-up and playing my piano. I don’t clock-watch at weddings as I know even the best laid plans can go awry, and I won’t stop playing if we go over the agreed time!

Equipment

I have an excellent full-size and fully weighted Yamaha Digital Piano with a slick and powerful Bose amplifier which ensures the sound can carry in large rooms and outdoors. I also have a baby grand piano shell which looks fantastic and is a statement feature at any event.

Rates

Every event is unique, therefore I prefer to tailor my rates according to each specific occasion. As an indication I generally charge between £300 - £600 with the rates varying depending on the length of time you would like me to play.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a space that is roughly 3 x 3 meters, with an available power socket within 20 metres of where I will be set-up.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I provide an amplifier for medium to large rooms


What information do you require about a venue?

I usually ask for the contact details of the coordinator of your event so I can run through logistics such as parking, set-up times, venue rules (e.g music for weddings), and power.


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

Yes I'm very happy to play music via my bluetooth system whilst I'm not playing. I can play a client's own setlist or create one to suit the occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

There are too many to mention! I love playing at weddings particularly across the Three Counties of Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire where there are some wonderfully unique venues run by talented and dedicated people.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

I love playing covers of pop, rock and jazz songs with Elton John and Billy Joel being most influential due to their wonderful ability to play rock and love ballads on the piano. I also absolutely love Ludovico Einaudi and Yiruma, two modern classical pianists. My favourite piece (at the moment!) is Einaudi's "I Giorni".


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have played the piano at events and weddings and in restaurants and bars since I was 15 years old. I started taking it much more seriously as a professional pianist in 2022 and it took off very quickly. I average around 50 bookings a year and love what I do.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I play at all sorts of events, but weddings are my favourite of all. The music for wedding ceremonies often have great meaning for the couple getting married, and I love that moment when I play for the bride as she walks up the aisle. Weddings are also really fun and joyous occasions and people there just love live music!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I typically arrive 2 hours before I'm due to start to ensure I have plenty of time to set-up and have a chance to chat to the organisers, and guests as they start arriving.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm very happy to perform outside if the weather allows! A flat surface, and shade is always good for me and my equipment if possible! I have great Bose amplifier which really allows the music to travel outside.


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

I can learn specific songs - usually up to four or five. Clients are also welcome to pick songs from my set-list or let me know if there are specific artists / genres they would like me to focus on. My set-list is only indicative, so it's always worth asking if I know a song even it isn't listed!


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My clients tend to focus on the quality and emotive qualities of my music, and my ability to adapt my style to the occasion.
