About / Biography

The Kilted Pianist provides music for any occasion - weddings, parties and graduations. The sound of live piano music at a wedding can create the perfect relaxed atmosphere to encourage mingling and conversation over drinks and canapés.

John takes song requests and can play a great variety of music, including the classics, modern pop, cocktail bar, classical and TV/film/musical scores, all in his own unique style. John can compose a unique song especially for you which can be used for your wedding ceremony.

At a wedding there is a mixture of ages and music types. That's why John can play classics like Queen, Pink Floyd, Eagles and the Beatles as well as playing new music like Linkin Park, Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, John Legend, Mumford and Sons and Take That.

He can simply play the piano in the background or play the piano to a backing track. Along with traditional pop songs and wedding classics he can also play themes from the TV and movies including Superman, Star Wars, James Bond and the Simpsons. He can play classical pieces of music by Chopin, Beethoven or Rachmaninov. He can also play songs you would hear at a cocktail or jazz bar, for example Fly me to the Moon and the theme to "Taxi''.
