About / Biography

Chris's successful career has taken him all over the world, from jazz clubs in London, to hotels in India, restaurants in Australia and blues bars in Las Vegas.

Chris grew up in Norfolk, studying the keyboard and electronic organ before moving on to the piano with private lessons at a Yamaha music school.

Chris has the talent to play a wide range of music, from jazz and smooth rhumbas to classical and boogie woogie.

In 1999 Chris began a ten year span at sea on luxury cruise liners. This included two world cruises with SAGA, the Amazon rainforest and South America with Holland & America, and countless cruises around Europe and many excursion focused cruises on the Spirit of Adventure. He enjoyed this immensely, but after completing his dream of sailing around the world, he decided to return to English soil.

On the ships Chris mostly worked as cocktail pianist with vocals, but he also backed many headline singers, hosted his own cabaret show, played in the ship’s resident band for shows and hosted many musical quizzes.

Chris can also play requests without music (see repertoire list). He also performs in duos with Double Bass and Vocals and also with Sarah-Jane,(our Director of Live Music, as the pianist in one of her Jazz Trios – Sarah-Jane’s Vintage Jazz.

Piano Shell
For an extra charge, Chris can supply a wooden "shell" for his keyboard which makes it look like a small grand piano.
