I'm a piano-accordionist, and pianist. I have played piano and accordion for many weddings and corporate functions, and my repertoire is very wide: on accordion my particular specialty is French chanson and Italian repertoire, Tarantella Napolitana, Volare etc. I have also played for Oktoberfest events, Irish funerals, and even Finnish events.
I am a regularly booked pianist for all kinds of occasions, and am always happy to prepare whatever repertoire my clients would like. I enjoy playing many genres, from classical and American standards to jazz and mainstream pop.
Recent Corporate Clients : Proptech conference at the O2 Arena, On Air Dining, Rock Capital, P & O Ferries.
My gigs recently have been playing the piano for Jonny & Rosie Harris's wedding reception at Langan's Brasserie (1st Feb 2026) and for Spike and Zoe's wedding reception at the Hurlingham Club. I have performed candle-lit concerts - 'Twilight Date Night' - in Thame, Luton, Reading, Bedford, Hitchin and many other towns, which have been a great success, and playing piano for corporate clients, as well as private birthday celebrations and hotel functions.

Stephen likes to find out the client’s favourites and present a tailor-made set of songs for the evening.
With the accordion I just need a chair and a table, and access to electric point if the client would like me to play amplified music between my sets. Also, if bringing a keyboard, I require electrical access for the keyboard and amplifier, and a piano stool or straight-backed chair without arms. For my musical comedy act I will require mic and amplification but if this is not provided I can bring my own.
Parking info, whether I can get access at least half an hour before the event, if it requires PAT-test certificates as many listed buildings and old function rooms demand it.
I provide sound equipment, eg amplifier for my piano, and music to play between my sets, but not lighting.
I can provide Itunes music between my sets.
Yes.
Yes.
I played grand piano at the 02 International for the Proptech Conference the last 2 years, which was great, and have performed candle-lit concerts around London, 'Twilight Date Nights'; I've also played accordion for a Spanish couple on a barge near Camden Lock which was romantic.
Playing French accordion music for a restaurant or playing grand piano for a wedding.
I have been an actor and theatre musician, musical director, I started gigging regularly over 10 years ago.
I suppose Astor Piazzolla for the accordion, Richter and Curzon on piano and Victor Borge for my comedy.
I normally arrive at least half an hour- forty minutes before the performance. I don't take long to set up.
I'm happy to play outside with the accordion, and if it is the piano I need a power supply close to the performance area."
The clients definitely have a say in what I play. I like to make the event special and meaningful to them, and am happy to learn particular favourites.
My recent client, Thomas Holroyd, wrote in May 26: "Stephen is a brilliant wedding pianist. Very talented and professional. He helped us select the pieces for our wedding and played them beautifully. Highly recommended." pike Laurie (Private wedding) 10 Feb 2026

"Stephen was extremely professional. I couldn't have been more pleased. Attentive to our requests, arrived in good time, played beautifully and really made our evening truly special"
