Robbie Roberts Piano adaptations of contemporary, pop, rock and modern classical music

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.

I provide an amplifier for medium to large rooms

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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!

Yes you can! You can ask me to play specific songs for your aisle walk / bridal procession (usually one or two), to be played during the signing (usually two), and as you exit.

I will also do my best to accommodate other requests you may have for other parts of the day. My ability to play them all for you will depend on the number you have in mind, and advanced notice.

I charge based on the part of the day you would like me to play. Most couples ask me to play for multiple parts of the day as it becomes more cost effective to do that, as I will apply a discount for the additional elements.

I do get booked up quite far in advance, so I am only able to hold a date for 48 hours without a deposit payment.

I travel up to around 100 miles from my base in Worcestershire. For venues over 50 miles away I apply a small £25 travel fee. I may accept bookings that are further afield, but this will require additional costs dependent on the location.

Yes, I can play outside and really enjoy doing so! Playing outside requires additional considerations such as access to shade and power, and a plan in case the weather suddenly changes. It is important to notify the venue of your plan for me to play outside, so that between us we can make sure all logistics are taken care of.

Yes, it is easy to move both my baby grand piano shell and digital piano. I have two pianos that I can bring so I can set-up in different parts of your venue in advance making it easy and quick to move from one to the other.

I love playing traditional pianos. It is important to check with the venue that the piano has been, or will be, tuned before your event.

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.

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.

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!

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