Chris Mars is a brilliant pianist. He’s played at many events I’ve organised for private clients - parties, weddings and corporate events. Reliable and experienced. Superb repertoire. Plays piano beautifully and sings too. Highly recommended!

Customer questions

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

I'm very flexible so not an issue.

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

Yes this is included.

How much time do you need to set up?

30 to 45 minutes.

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

Yes, as long as it is in a relatively good tuning state.

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

You can choose songs, especially if you have any specific preferences.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

I bring my own electric piano.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

This is possible although there is a charge of £20 per song as it takes time to learn and rehearse.
