About / Biography

Hi there.

I am a professional and experienced singer/pianist.

I enjoy performing for corporate events and for private parties.

I also have a wonderful, portable white grand piano which can add pzzazz to any performance and setting (I've even had it on a boat).

I have £10m PLI and PA tested equipment to cover any venue requirements.

Thank you.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

- I would need access as close as possible to the performance area to carry equipment from the car.
- On-site parking preferable.
- I need a power socket within five metres of the performance area.
- If the performance is over a meal time, then a light snack would be appreciated.
- If you are booking the grand piano shell, then I need 8ft x 8ft.


What information do you require about a venue?

Venue and postcode.
Room and location set-up in room.
Car access for unloading as close as possible to venue and room.
Parking availability.
Car access for packing up as close as possible.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes a PA system.
No to lighting.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Best venue: A residential ship for a month.
Best gig: Many!


What's your favourite type of event?

Private parties as you interact with the guests and help them have a great time!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I've been gigging for 30 years so I have built up plenty of experience through initially performing my own songs in the 1990s to having performed for so many weddings and private functions.

I have a Degree in Music so that started the idea of wanting to be a pop star :-).

I wrote for a while but the industry is brutal, so now I perform cover songs that everyone recognises.

I have a portable white grand piano that always gets commented on by customers when I build it and "unbuild" it as it's so unique.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

So many but I enjoy Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Bryan Adams, The Prodigy, Billy Joel, Dana Glover and others. I couldn't choose a favourite song but I do enjoy performing If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys and an upbeat version of Country Roads by John Denver.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

This depends.

SET-UP
Just with a keyboard - One hour.
With the grand piano shell - 1.5 hours.

PERFORMANCE TIMES
My sets are guided by you so I'll take breaks whenever it's convenient.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes with shade.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes. I can send the a complete song list and they can choose their favourites, or I perform songs suitable for the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

A perfect, self-contained artist, that made our event special.


How long are your sets?

It depends on the event and timings. I can do three sets, two sets or one whole set, depending on the length of the performance.


How big is your piano shell?

It is a replica of a five foot baby grand.


Where are you travelling from and do you charge for mileage?

I travel from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, so mileage is charged at 45p/mile to your venue and back.
