Pianist

Glasgow

Hi! I'm Debbie, a Glasgow based Pianist and Vocalist. With over 20 years of experience playing at events and weddings, I am the perfect choice for your occasion. Providing a mix of piano and vocals, singing and playing a combination of pop, classical, jazz, traditional and the classics there is bound to be something for every one of your guests. I trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, formerly known as the RSAMD, and have been playing the piano since the age of 7. I pride myself on making bespoke packages for any event I am booked for, creating a unique playlist for your occasion. All requests can be catered for. Having played at hundreds of weddings I really have seen and played it all so do not be afraid to get your requests in to make your event extra special. A lilting vocalist with a gentle tone, my vocal stylings add the perfect ambience to every occasion. I am happy to cater solo piano, piano and vocals or a combination of both, whichever option is ideal for your event. An obliging, amiable personality means that I will fit in with your guests ensuring that from the moment of booking, through to your event, your experience with Debbie Connor Music is professional, fun and of the highest standard. Looking forward to hearing from you soon

We cannot express how happy we were with Debbie when we booked her to play at our wedding recently. She is incredibly talented, an absolutely lovely person and was more than happy to play anything we requested. Many of our guests commented on the beautiful music at our ceremony, it was perfect. We can't recommend her highly enough!

We can’t recommend Debbie enough for playing the piano for your special day. From the first moment of chatting to her on the phone, to her playing for us our wedding day, Debbie has been so lovely in communicating with us and making sure everything was perfect. She made changes when we asked, and was so accommodating for us by even sending some recordings of songs so that we could listen and make sure they were what we wanted. On our wedding day, Debbie’s playing was just stunning and her music moved so many of our guests to tears - even my mum was bawling as soon as Glasgow Love Medley started playing! Debbie, we can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work, and we are so glad that we booked you for our wedding. Thank you again! Lyndsay and George xx

Debbie was absolutely wonderful, she played beautifully throughout our entire ceremony, drinks reception and meal. She set the scene perfectly, played the type music we had asked for, and was even willing to learn a new song with some alternative lyrics for us walking back up the ailse as husband and wife. Several of our guests have asked us for Debbie's details as they were equally impressed with her for their own weddings in the near future. We couldn't have asked for more and would highly recommend. Thank you Debbie, you helped make our day perfect.

We hired Debbie to play for our Charity Event for MENCAP. She was brilliant, a highly skilled pianist and vocalist who provided a great and varied range of music which settled our guests well in to the evening. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.

Debbie played at our wedding last year and was brilliant. She was so good at helping us to pick and organise all the music arrangements for the big day. She played for our ceremony and drinks reception and ensured the playlist was fitted to our style and venue. It was perfect. So many of our guests commented on her playing. She added such an elegant and sophisticated touch to our day. Her set list had such variety and I would definitely book her again for another event.

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients love that I create bespoke playlists based on their likes and dislikes, ages and backgrounds. I am a happy smiling face and just love being involved in your special events. I provide beautiful, ambient music that provides the perfect atmosphere for people to relax to and enjoy - adding that extra bit of class to your special day and event.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

Too many to mention! With over 20 years of experience as a pianist and vocalist there are not many venues that I haven't had the privilege of playing at by now - both in Scotland and Northern Ireland (I'm a northern irish gal!)

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

I once performed - specially requested - for Bill Clinton. It was my second time performing for him but he specifically requested me for the second performance. It was great fun and a real privilege to do so!

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

This scenario is very common and completely understandable in the planning process. I am more than happy to accomodate any changes to timings and on the day will try to be as flexible as possible. Where possible it would be appreciated if you could provide prior warning of any changes to timings, particularly significant ones.

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

This is not something I am able to offer at present

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually set up 45 minutes prior to playing start time. This requires me to have access to the venue at this stage. This time allows me to ensure my equipment is set up appropriately and to do a few sound checks, meaning that I am ready to go for your guests arriving.

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 full working order and in tune, then I am happy to play on it.

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

I create bespoke playlists for each event, a lot of which are crafted around countless performances and knowing what works best for guests. You are more than welcome to look through my song list and pick out favourites and any particular songs that you would like included and I will do my best to ensure this. I will also meet specific requests.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I have my own digital piano which I use for gigs and events, where a suitable piano is not available at the venue. There is no additional charge if I am to provide my own instrument

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes! I love learning and including specific song requests, particular to clients choices. There is no additional fee for this service. I love making your event/special day about you and your preferences.
