I need a performance space large enough for large keyboard digital piano, mic stand and column PA. One parking space is needed and two power sockets within 2 metres
It is useful to know where to unload at venue.
I am completely self contained.I bring my own PA system to all gigs. ( Unless there is a piano on site and this has been requested; in this instance I bring a small speaker and mic/mic stand
Yes
Some of my best experiences to date have included playing and recording for Channel 4, working at ‘The Botanist’ restaurant/cocktail bar ( as seen on ‘First Dates’). I also recently played a set at Portsmouth Victorious Festival and at a fantastic ‘Later with Jools Holland’ style theatre event.
I really love to play at Weddings and to share in the couple’s special day!
I have played piano and sung since I was 4 and have also taught music and piano privately and at local schools and colleges. I recently did an acoustic trio with my friends:colleagues of many years from our college job in the music department.
One of my main influences for piano playing and singing, has been Tori Amos. I also love Kate Bush and I love to incorporate her songs into some of my sets.
I normally arrive1- 2 hours before the performance to set up. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or can be flexible with 2 x 60 minute sets/ 3 x 45 min sets. I’m happy to play a bit longer or shorter depending on occasion and preference .
Yes this isn’t a problem in warmer months and I would ask for shaded or covered area with a flat surface and near power supply.
Clients are welcome to create a bespoke set list from repertoire list and it is sometimes possible for me to learn a specific song if discussed at time of booking.
Previous reviews have commented on beautiful vocals and choice of songs for their wedding /event.
