I require 1 x 13 amp power socket
I need a performance area of, ideally, around 10’ x 15’ (approx. 3 x 4.5 metres). However, where space is tight, I can set up in a smaller area than this.

Yes, I am completely self contained. I bring my own PA system together with stage lighting.

Information about access / load in, to the the performance area.

I can provide background music before and in-between sets.

Yes, £10,000,000 cover.

In a band as support for acts like U2, Pete Townshend, Dave Gilmour, Mike Rutherford, Kenney Jones, etc.
In terms of venues, and with an audience of around 20,000, Milton Keynes Bowl would have to be up there, but also places like Brixton Academy, Ronnie Scott's Club, 100 Club, etc. So many!
For private parties, pretty much all of the big London hotels, including The Ritz, The Savoy, London Hilton, etc.

A few piano-playing influences include: Elton John, Leon Russell, Billy Preston, Dr John, Little Richard, Ray Charles, etc.
And just a very few general musical influences include: The Beatles, (of course), The Rolling Stones, Eagles, Van Morrison, Sting, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Killers, Stereophonics, Keane, etc.
Favourite artists of all time: well, that's a difficult one, but up there would be The Beatles and Elton, definitely.
My favourite song of all time? How can there be just one? :-) Do check out my set list for an idea of favourites I like to play on a gig.

I began gigging in my late teens. I have played at literally hundreds of parties, weddings, etc. throughout the UK and abroad.

Any gig where the audience is up for some fun and a general good time!

Yes. I am happy to travel outside the U.K. Overseas performances to date include France, Norway, Switzerland, Bahrain, The Caribbean, The Mediterranean and New Zealand.

Yes. I play at weddings, civil partnerships, private parties, company parties and charity events.

Yes! So, if it’s a party you’re thinking of having, singing would be a must, particularly for dancing!

No problem. If there isn’t a piano at the venue, I will provide my own: a Roland RD-2000 digital stage piano. When combined with an EV Electro-Voice PA system this sounds just like a grand piano. I will also provide stage lighting, if required.

As I am very busy, both as a solo musician and with my band, Party Beat, it can sometimes be difficult to find extra time in order to learn and rehearse specific songs outside of my regular playlist. Where I can accommodate however, I will try. Do please feel free to ask.
You are always of course welcome to choose specific songs from my regular playlist.

The cost depends on the location, the date and the nature of the event. Please send me an email together with as much detail as possible to enable me to come back to you with a price.

I normally arrive around 2 hours before the performance, in order to set up.

Performance times vary, depending on what your musical requirements are.
A typical performance for a party might cover a three-hour period, with breaks. I can play for longer than this if requested however. A performance for a wedding or civil partnership ceremony would be considerably shorter, of course. If drinks reception and/or wedding breakfast included, then longer again. For details, please enquire.

Yes, so long as there is adequate protection in place for the elements!

You are always welcome to choose specific songs from my regular playlist.

Great, brilliant and fun!
