Chris' Reviews

5 out of 5

Fantastic! Chris was easy to communicate with in advance, delightful in person, and gave a beautiful and joyous performance, mixing classical and more modern apparently effortlessly. He was able to accommodate requests in advance and on the day. We had Chopin to Elton John and plenty in between. Good value. Thanks Chris

Thank you so much! It was my pleasure to play for you and I added some good tunes to my repertoire thanks to you.

5 out of 5

Chris was an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to work with. He arrived early and the communication prior to the event was first class, we discussed a set list and Chris was very accommodating. He learnt my favourite piano piece and executed it perfectly (was so good I asked him to play it twice!). The engagement with the crowd was superb and he sang a few numbers which got everyone interacting. Chris was very intelligent with how he managed the performance, quieter so GS which people were chatting then more lively as the concert progressed to raise everyone's spirits. Bravo and thank you Chris, everyone said how awesome you were.

Thanks very much for your kind words! It was a pleasure to meet you all and I'm happy everyone had a great day.

Thank you so so much for the most beautiful, magical music that brought so many tears to our eyes! I could listen to you play all day! We had so so many compliments about you! It was just perfect.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding ceremony in Rhuthun! The music was beautiful and so many people asked us about you afterwards.

Customer questions

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

Please get in touch as soon as possible if this occurs. I will always do my best to accommodate you.

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

Yes, I can provide this via a laptop and Spotify.

How much time do you need to set up?

If your venue has a piano I can use, five minutes to familiarise myself is enough! If I am setting up my Nord piano and amplifier, half an hour ought to be more than enough time.

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

Yes, absolutely, as long as it is in working order and in tune!

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

My setlist consists of popular classical, pop and film music, but I am also very happy to learn a few new songs for you.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes. I use a Nord Piano 4, an industry-standard portable electric piano with an extremely realistic sound, and a keyboard amplifier.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes. I can arrange songs for the piano and learn from printed music.
