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.
Based in Lichfield, Staffordshire
A Piano for solo piano work - I can bring my own if not (will need power).
Space for a singer for Duo work.
For solo piano no. But if working with a singer we bring a small speaker (or larger if needed)
Simple directions and a place to park please
If I have a speaker then not a problem. Please discuss this with me if you think you might need something in between sets
Symphony Hall - best venue and gig (biggest audience too!)
My Piano style is influenced by the likes of Billy Joel, Rick Wakeman, Errol Garner, etc
My Favourite artist has nothing to do with what I play - currently Tears For Fears!
Greatest song varies from time to time - currently Rivers of Mercy (T4F)
I played for two years on the cruise ships playing cocktail piano and keyboards in a pop band. Toured Europe with a covers band and toured the world (!) with P&O cruises as Special Guest Band (on keys). I've played for hundreds of events over the years and hope to help make your event special
So long as there's a piano I love playing anywhere!
Very little to do if a piano is there. I typically arrive 1/2 an hour before to make sure all is well and to meet the hosts
Yes, but will need power and shade if sunny
Always happy to try and customise my set list
Wonderful, fabulous, great pianist, very accommodating, nice to work with.
