5 out of 5

Anita was a lovely musician and a lovely person! She communicated well before the event, which is always reassuring, and she went above and beyond during the event. She put in a lot of energy and passion in her music. She was very adaptable on the evening and worked with us to make everything perfect. Her music was everything I hoped for and it added a very special atmosphere to our wedding party.

Thank you so much André. It was an absolute pleasure to perform for you and your guests last Saturday. You were very generous to include me in the catering and I think we both were very good at judging what people wanted in the moment.

We recently booked Anita to help us to celebrate our 40th year in business. The whole event from start to finish was amazing. Anita read the room perfectly and played the appropriate songs from her extensive repertoire throughout the evening. She has a very warm personality and responded to people’s requests with enthusiasm. Everyone was up dancing and she created the loveliest atmosphere with her wonderful musical talents. No hesitation in recommending her for any event. Kind regards Theresa

Customer questions

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

We can always communicate with regards timings and pricings. I am very flexible and always try to give the client exactly what they want on the day. I am aware things change last minute, that's never a problem.

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

You can run playlists using an ipod/ipad through my speakers during breaks if you have chosen particular songs.

How much time do you need to set up?

I need about 40-60mins to set up...It depends on how far away I have to park from where I am playing.

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

I am happy to play on the piano provided so long as it's fully functional and in tune! It might need some amplification if the room is large and there are many guests.

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

I always encourage clients to choose at least some of the songs from my playlist as it's their special day so it should reflect their tastes. I am always happy to help with my experience in knowing which songs are crowd pleasers and will get everyone up and dancing if that's the aim too.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

yes! I will bring my own, lovely sounding Yamaha electric piano and PA.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I am more than happy to learn a new song for your event given enough time. There is a small fee of £30 for this to take into account rehearsal time.
