Photo of Sam Cooke Piano Sam Cooke Piano "I can thoroughly recommend Sam Cooke Piano who is thoroughly professional, has an excellent eye for detail and plays exceptionally." Based in Derby, England (11 miles from Burton upon Trent) 9th September 2026 Tim Caldwell - Corporate Photo of Alex Lamb - Pianist Alex Lamb - Pianist "Alex was amazing. He played the piano at my daughter's wedding at Prestwold Hall. From the moment we booked him , he kept in touch and took the time to find out about the style of music we wanted, including our requests for some specific tunes. He sent us a video of himself playing the tunes so we got a real feel for how it would sound on the day. He was more than happy with any changes we made closer to the big day. He arrived promptly at the wedding venue, smartly dressed and was very friendly and approachable. He was right on cue with all the music changes and many of the guests conveyed to us how good Alex was. We cannot highly recommend him enough. Thank you Alex for being part of our special day."

I would definitely work with him again!" Raphael Dawkins - Vocalist DJ - RD ENTERTAINMENT" Based in Birmingham, England (25 miles from Burton upon Trent) Raphael Dawkins - Ibiza saxophone Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist Rebecca Rose Cellist "We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day. Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect."

His incredible bongo skills lit up the dance floor, blending perfectly with the DJ and keeping everyone dancing all night." Based in Wilmslow, England (43 miles from Burton upon Trent) Marion - Destination Wedding Photo of Trumpet for events Trumpet for events "Many people came up to me after the service saying how genuinely touched they were by your performance. My Uncle and my Dad were sat behind me during the service and you literally reduced them both to tears. I have never seen either of them cry before. It was extremely moving, your performance was beautiful and perfect. Rob would have absolutley loved it. Thank you much for performing for us and for your professionalism and sympathy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone" Based in Manchester, England (53 miles from Burton upon Trent) 18th September 2026 Sarah - Funeral

Frequently asked questions

The average price for accompanists on Gig Heaven is £250, with rates from £75 to £600+. Cost varies based on the musician's experience, the length of the session and the instrument involved. Accompanists support solo vocalists, instrumentalists, choirs and other performers, and those with specialist skills or extensive repertoire may charge more.

The accompanists for hire are skilled musicians who provide musical support for singers, instrumentalists, choirs or other performers. They typically play piano or keyboard, though some specialise in guitar or other instruments. Accompanists are commonly booked for weddings, recitals, auditions and religious services.

Common events for accompanists include wedding ceremonies, church services, vocal recitals, auditions, rehearsals and other events where a singer or performer needs live musical support. Some accompanists also provide solo background music for drinks receptions and dinners.

Most accompanists are experienced sight-readers and can learn or prepare specific pieces for an event. It is advisable to send any music or song requests in advance so the accompanist can prepare. Many are comfortable working with a wide range of musical styles.

Most accompanists who play portable instruments such as guitar will bring their own equipment. Keyboard players typically bring their own instrument, though some may prefer to use a piano if one is available at the venue. It is worth confirming instrument and equipment arrangements when making an enquiry.
