I have over 25 years' experience as a freelance Organist and Keyboard Player both on pipe and electronic instruments and have performed all over the UK and in the USA. I have played for many organ societies and also specialize in playing for silent films.
Work as a Musical Director has included Pantomime seasons and Old Time Music Hall shows. I was MD for the long running show 'The Flanagan and Allen Story'. I also play regularly on the Compton organ of the Plaza Theatre, Stockport.
I have many years' experience as a cabaret accompanist with excellent reading skills and am still working on the Manchester club scene on a regular basis. I also have much spent many years playing for ballroom and sequence dancing.
I have much experience as a church organist, playing at two churches regularly, and have played for many hundreds of weddings and funerals all over the Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire area in the past twenty years.
I play light, popular and show music as well as the standard classical repertoire, but am always happy to oblige where special music for an occasion is requested. I can also provide a small keyboard/bass pedal set up with PA for background music at functions.
Last minute bookings are no problem, but would prefer to limit wedding and funeral bookings to the North West area. If you're not sure, please get into contact and I would be happy to advise!
I do have my own keyboard equipment and PA, fully PAT tested, but am happy to use other equipment where required. I also have full public liability insurance through the Musicians' Union.
Based in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester
