Dan Jones's profile picture
Pianist
Wirral

Originally from the Wirral, I am studying at Bangor University in Wales for my Masters degree having completed my degree in 2022. Before this, I completed all of my grades on piano and even went up to Diploma level with LCM. Over the years I've had experience playing piano at both wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions, and with a background of both classical and jazz I am able to perform a variety as needed. Most notable of my performances have been when Bangor University chose me to represent them by playing piano at TED talks back in 2019, and to perform in the graduation ceremonies in summer 2022. I understand the significance of getting the right performer to get the balance of being as loud or quiet as needed for the occasion, and my time performing has given me that knowledge. I'd love to be hired so I can be the right musician for you.

A professional, well-rehearsed performance which captured the whole audience. Dan showcased his skills through a range of classical repertoire, and has demonstrated his ability to play more contemporary styles in other performances, too. He is friendly and approachable, with a real passion for music.

Dan is an amazing pianist. He played for my Husband and I at our wedding as I walked down the aisle. It was so beautiful. I watch our wedding video often and the music makes it so special. He is extremely talented and plays with such ease. I love to listen to him. He captures you and draws you in. It’s a real skill. Dan was extremely approachable and understanding of what we wanted. My husband and I both agreed he was perfect and we booked him in a flash. I would definitely recommend him for any event. He is incredible!!
