hi.
I have been a professional musician all of my life playing all over the world and for some very famous people. I now concentrate on Jazz Piano, always my main love.
I can provide up to 2 hours of music of songs from the 1920s to modern day. I am very rarely stumped with a request as I have a massive repertoire of songs on my iPad.
Here is a list of songs as an example to my style.

What is the loading point of entry?
I provide all Sound equipment and keyboards.
I can play music in between my sets through my Sound equipment
I have played a lot of big venues over the last 30 years, including the Royal Albert Hall the V festival and appearances top of the Pops with Tony Christie. I have many favourite gigs including working with John Miles on Brian Johnson AC/DC on a number of occasions to big crowds. Recently I have done a number of Jazz organ gigs with top sax player Snake Davis ( m people, take that, James brown).
Amongst my favourite type of events are solo jazz concerts on piano and with my jazz organ trio in clubs and theatres. I enjoy many types of event as long as it’s a good vibe.
I have been a professional musician for over 30 years and played with lots of well-known people
My main influences on Piano or Oscar Peterson Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans my favourite organists are Jimmy Smith and Joey de Francesco.
My favourite song is Love dance but I have manyand favourite jazz Pianist is Chick corea
It takes me around 20 minutes to set up and I normally do 2×45 sets or a bit longer if need be.
Yes, I can play outside. No problem as long as it doesn’t look like rain. Or if it’s undercover.
I take request as long as they are within the idiom of the performance. I have a very long repertoire list but also take requests on the day or prior if they are special songs for the client.
Most people say that my music is perfect for the occasion as I take care to read the room and not play too loud to cover the chatter of the guests.
Refreshments would be nice, maybe a coffee and a sandwich if the engagement is longer than two hours.
