What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Please contact me asap if your timings change so that I can make arrangements.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

No

How much time do you need to set up?

I like to have some time earlier in the day to get used to the piano. The length of warm-up time will depend on the duration and nature of the performance.

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

I'm happy to perform on any piano as long as it is at concert pitch (A440). If you're not sure whether it is, just phone me when you have access to the piano in order to check.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

All repertoire must be discussed and agreed in advance.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I have a portable digital piano which I can bring if there is no acoustic piano in the venue. Please discuss arrangements in advance.

Can you learn song requests before the event?
