Robert is a professional musician playing Piano, Keyboards and Organ. He is very adaptable and can fit into most job situations at a moments notice.
Pleasant, unobtrusive background music at a conversational level for you and your guests as you arrive, and during your wedding reception. Only a small amount of room is required in the restaurant. If a piano is not available then a piano keyboard can be provided.
Repertoire is suited to each occasion. Requests will be played and content will be taken from, Elton John, Billy Joel, Frank Sinatra, The Carpenters etc, Songs from the shows, light classical and light jazz.
If you would like your wedding day pianist to be extra special, why not have your favourite pieces of music played live on the church organ, by a wedding organist and for your hymns and procession in and out of church. Robert Baker can provide and play a keyboard that sounds like an authentic Church Organ.

Normally take 10-15 minutes to set up and normally do sets of 45 minutes duration.
Happy to perform outside.
