Power is required both indoor and outdoor. Also cover if playing outside if the weather is wet.
No
I will need to know if the venue has its own piano. The locations that I will be required to play in.
N/A
I have performed at several celebrity and footballers weddings at various locations across the UK.
N/A
I have been playing at weddings and events for thirty years.
I love playing at all sorts of events but weddings are my favourite.
Absolutely, once clients make contact I tailor their music choices.
I would normally arrive to set up an hour before I need to play. I tailor timings to suit my clients.
I perform both inside and outside and have my own equipment to enable this.
Clients are more than welcome to suggest pieces for me to play. I have a huge selection of pieces but always make sure that I tailor to my clients wishes.
The most common word in my reviews has been “beautifully, elegant background music”.
