Pianist

Southport

Hi i’m Charlie I am 17 years old and I am a Keys/Piano player, who started playing Piano at the age of 6. At this moment in time I am studying Music performance at Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts ( LIPA sixth form college). Throughout my life I have performed in front of audiences that differ in ranges from 100 - 500+ people. I don’t specialise in one specific genre because I am capable of playing any genre or style that is needed for a specific event. I have worked as a pianist at multiple events such as drink receptions and weddings before so I already have experience playing at events like these. One of my biggest achievements as a performer is that i’ve played at in the famous Cavern Club as apart of a band in front of an audience of 200 people. I also took part in Eurovision 2023 by playing to an audience of 500+ people, performing well known Pop songs from the 1980 to the late 2000s.

Thank you for the lovely piano music played with such flair. It added greatly to the gathering and really set the scene for what turned out to be a very successful evening.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

Many of my clients love the fact that I cover many different genres when I play, to fit a specific vibe. I can also stick to a specific genre throughout the whole time if asked.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I have performed at many places playing as apart of a band or solo for events. Some of these venues include: - The Royal Birkdale Golf Club - The Cavern club - The Jacaranda - Southport Little Theatre - Southport Market - Liverpool One - Lipa Sixth Form College

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I don't take much inspiration from many artists because I like to listen and play as many different style as I can. However saying that, one of my main influences is Joules Holland because I adore his playing style and think he is an absolute fantastic musician.

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

I believe the most high profile gig I've played is when I played in the Cavern club to an audience of 200 people! When I played there I played in a band and we played a mixture of songs from a range of genres including Rock, Pop and Funk.

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

I would always make an effort to be accommodating in order to guarantee the smooth operation of your event. Just let me know if timings alter somewhat in the days leading up to the event.

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

If requested I could provide an iPod service with selected playlists ranging with different genres and styles suitable for any type of event. This service can be provided before or after my sets have been performed, the additional charge depending of the timings.

How much time do you need to set up?

If the venue already has an free standing piano then I will only need up to 20 minuets to warm up fully. However, if I am bringing all the equipment I will need 1 hour to set up and warm up. Once I am ready - If requested- I can provide a free playlist service to help set the atmosphere and get your guests ready for our live performance!

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

Yes, of course - as long as the piano is in working order and in tune, then I'm happy to play on it!

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

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I am more than happy for you to choose specific songs in my set list to play at you event!

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

I am able to bring my own electric keyboard and amplifier if asked.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

If a song isn't included in our song list there may still be a chance we already know it. If there is a special song you'd like us to learn we are happy to do this for you!
