About / Biography

HelIo.

With over 30 years experience playing piano for weddings, special occasions, intimate cocktail bars, private functions and cruises. My repertoire covers light jazz, classical, pop, rock, and all the classics. Bespoke arrangements for your events are no trouble at all. Please get in touch and see how I can tailor my playing to your requirements (I have my own piano if there isn't one at the event).

As keyboard player I have played on and recorded many albums. In bands I've toured Europe and the world (as part of P&O cruises). Styles cover Folk, Rock, Pop, light Jazz. Great sight reader.

All the genres listed can be performed as a solo artist, a duo of piano and vocals, piano and drums, jazz trio/quartet.

Thank you.
