Pianist

Glasgow

From a young age, Benjamin was strongly drawn to music, picking up his first instrument age 3. At the age of 7, he enrolled in the Junior Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he attended lessons and ensemble groups that allowed him to expand his repertoire and began training his voice. After finishing school, Ben went on to study Musical Theatre and has worked as a Musical Director throughout the UK. Between MD jobs, he has played many different styles of gig, from background jazz at a restaurant to playing a bride down the aisle. He can customise his setlist to your specifications, and to the music you love, guaranteeing that whatever the occasion, you'll just be able to sit back and enjoy your event.

Ben's Reviews

"Ben has been our pianist on Friday evenings for some time, and his repertoire is extensive, and fits the atmosphere wonderfully."

"My partner booked Ben for our wedding on recommendation from a family friend. We requested about half an hour of his own choice, followed by some specific songs during the ceremony. He played some lovely recognisable hits in a way that they blended well with the venue and ambiance. My partner took slightly longer to arrive than expected (not totally unexpected mind), but Ben simply kept playing and seemed to have endless choices to continue with. I would happily recommend him!"
