Best gig was at my sister's wedding, surrounded by family and friends.
In recent memory I would say supporting Craig Charles' Funk and Soul House Party in December 2023 at Tramshed in Cardiff.
I really love to play Kate Bush songs. There is so much to choose from in her catalogue and her music is so engaging and captivating.
I grew up in a musical family and played piano in school shows and events around the local area. I started doing cocktail piano gigs when I was 18. I then studied a Jazz performance degree and worked in music from that point onwards.
For me it doesn't matter what the event is, as long as I feel that everything clicks into place then I'm happy.
2x 45 minute sets is common, but we can discuss what you would like.

Yes absolutely! I love to take requests, but there is an additional cost for this. It's not always possible with bigger band situations but we can discuss on a case by case basis.
Engaging, emotive, varied and entertaining.
