About / Biography

****ALSO AVAILABLE FOR OUTDOOR FUNCTIONS - WITH PORTABLE DIGITAL PIANO

If you`re looking for a pianist for your wedding, party or other function, Laurence is the perfect choice. With 30 years` experience as a professional musician, he can call upon an extensive repertoire of material. Romantic ballads, songs from the shows, iconic tracks from legends such as the Beatles, Elton John, Michael Buble and Billy Joel...all are at his fingertips! Or maybe you prefer popular piano classics - again, not a problem, whether it be a beautiful Chopin Nocturne, the restful, soothing Moonlight Sonata, the haunting `Gymnopedie` from Satie, or Debussy`s Clair de Lune. Music to create the perfect ambience for a function, without being obtrusive.

Laurence can also play for wedding ceremonies, including entrance music and hymns. How about a tailored arrangement of a special piece of music, timed perfectly for the walk to the altar? Favourite pieces can be accomodated - just advise of your requirements. As Laurence also plays church organ, a special package can be arranged to play both at the church service and the ceremony afterwards.

If you are holding a party, maybe a more up-tempo programme is required. Laurence can enhance his playing with backing tracks and vocals to get people dancing and singing along.

It`s simplicity itself to book Laurence. He is totally self-contained, and can provide lighting and compact PA system if needed - plus his own digital piano if the venue has no piano of its own. Pricing is straightforward; £140 for two hours` playing, plus a little extra (45p per mile) if your your venue is a distance from Northampton.

Available for:
*Background dinner or cocktail music, instrumental or with vocals, to accompany your evening or special occasion
*More up-tempo music, with vocals and backing tracks

*Wedding ceremony music including hymns and entrance/exit music

ALSO AVAILABLE AS
*Reading keyboards player with Korg keyboard and Roland Stage Piano; Musical Director for shows/pantomimes; and as organist (church or electronic).

Also available as first-class reading musician for bands, shows and tours, and also works as Musical Director for pantomime.
