I'm Adam Bridges, a London-based professional pianist with 30 years of playing experience and over 20 years of professional performance work, specialising in live music for weddings, luxury hotels, corporate events, private parties and special occasions. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to perform in a wide variety of settings, from intimate private celebrations to major theatrical productions. My experience includes performing in London's West End and touring with acclaimed musicals including Waitress and Jersey Boys. I've also performed extensively with professional function bands, providing live entertainment for weddings, corporate functions and private events. This has given me a broad musical repertoire and the ability to adapt effortlessly to different audiences, venues and atmospheres. As a solo pianist, I've held residencies at Park Plaza hotels across London, providing sophisticated live music for guests in elegant hotel settings. One of my particularly memorable engagements was performing at The Ivy for Dame Judi Dench's 90th birthday celebration. I studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the London Centre of Contemporary Music, developing a strong foundation in both classical and contemporary musicianship. Musical Styles & Repertoire My repertoire covers an extensive range of genres, including jazz standards, swing, pop, soul, easy listening, musical theatre, film soundtracks and contemporary favourites. I can provide everything from subtle, atmospheric background music to lively, upbeat performances that bring energy to an event. I also have extensive experience accompanying singers and working with other musicians, allowing me to respond naturally to different musical situations. Alongside my performing career, I run The Accompanist Studios in South East London, where I provide professional recordings, musical arrangements and accompaniment for singers and performers. What You Can Expect I pride myself on being reliable, professional, friendly and adaptable. I understand that every event is different, and I work closely with clients to ensure the music complements their occasion perfectly. Whether you're planning a wedding ceremony, drinks reception, birthday celebration, corporate event, private dinner or special occasion, I'm happy to discuss your musical preferences and any particular requests. My aim is simple: to provide exceptional live piano music that creates the perfect atmosphere and makes your event truly memorable. Based in London and available for bookings throughout the UK.

Adam's Reviews

Adam was great! He made our wedding ceremony and reception very special, learning our special entrance song and playing all the songs we'd requested. Very professional during the consultation and all the way through to the end of the event. Highly recommend!

Adam was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. His playing was beautiful, his repertoire was incredibly varied, and he created exactly the atmosphere we wanted. He was friendly, professional and very accommodating with our requests. Several guests commented on how wonderful the music was. We wouldn't hesitate to book him again!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My versatility, professionalism and ability to create exactly the right atmosphere. With 20 years of professional performing experience, I can provide anything from elegant background piano to lively, upbeat entertainment, adapting naturally to the audience and occasion.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've held residencies at Park Plaza hotels across London, performed at The Ivy, and worked in London's West End and on major UK musical theatre tours, including Waitress and Jersey Boys. I've also performed at numerous weddings, corporate functions, private celebrations and events throughout the UK.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My musical background spans jazz, pop, soul, classical music and musical theatre. I'm particularly drawn to expressive piano playing, strong melodies and musicians who can move effortlessly between styles. These influences shape my versatile approach to live performance.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

One of my most memorable engagements was performing at The Ivy for Dame Judi Dench's 90th birthday celebration. I've also performed in London's West End and toured with major musical productions including Waitress and Jersey Boys, experiences that have been highlights of my professional career.

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

I'm always happy to be flexible wherever possible. If your timings change, just let me know as soon as you can and I'll do my best to accommodate them. Significant changes to the schedule or performance duration may require an adjustment to the fee.

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

I'm happy to provide background music through my sound system before and between sets, where equipment is available. This can be tailored to suit your event. A full DJ service isn't included, but I'm happy to discuss your requirements.

How much time do you need to set up?

If the venue has a suitable piano, very little setup is needed. For my digital piano, I usually allow around 30 minutes. If you're hiring my grand piano shell, I'll need approximately 60 minutes for delivery, assembly and soundcheck, depending on venue access.

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

Absolutely! You're welcome to choose your favourites from my repertoire, and I'm happy to tailor the music to your tastes. Alternatively, leave the selection to me and I'll create the right atmosphere for your occasion, drawing on my experience performing at weddings, hotels and private events.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes! I can supply my own professional digital piano and amplification, as well as an elegant grand piano shell in black or white. Equipment hire is available as an optional extra. I'm equally happy to perform on a suitable piano already at your venue.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Of course! I'm happy to learn special requests, whether it's a wedding entrance, a favourite song or something meaningful to you. Please let me know in advance so I can prepare. More complex arrangements may incur a small additional fee, which I'll always confirm beforehand.
