Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I only need a small area to set up in, room enough for a digital piano and speaker/ music stand. Access to a power point.


What information do you require about a venue?

All l need is address, postcode and arrival time.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, a PA and lighting can be provided.


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

Recorded music prior to the event can be provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Theatre shows on the amazing cruise ship Queen Elizabeth.


What's your favourite type of event?

Weddings are my absolute favourite, always such a joyous occasion.


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

I have played in bands and as solo pianist for over 30 years - theatres, holiday centres, private events and cruise ships.


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

Elton John, Billy Joel, Scott Joplin and Chopin are amongst my piano heros. Also popular in my repertoire are hits from the Rat pack, ABBA, Beatles, Ed Sheeran and Adele.


How much do you charge?

I am extremely competitive, and would arrive at a quote once I know the distance if the event from Northampton, where I am based, and playing times required.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

A typical event would involve piano sets of 45min, maybe around two to four with breaks. But l am totally adaptable and can fit in with whatever the requirements are, bearing in mind things do not always run like clockwork.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I'm more than happy to play outdoors as long as I'm protected from the rain!


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

I am always happy to discuss song requirements prior to booking. I can suggest appropriate music or can include requests. In the unlikely event that l do not know a piece, I'm happy to obtain sheet music and learn it.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Clients love my piano playing, which is geared to the mood of the event and which creates the perfect ambience.
