Customer questions

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

Minor timing changes are usually no problem at all and as long as they're workable within my schedule I'm more than happy to adjusted to them. More significant ones may be possible but will depend on specific circumstance, again, very happy to discuss this if needs be.

How much time do you need to set up?

If the venue has a piano there I can arrive and begin playing pretty much immediately! If I am providing the piano myself a short time is required to set it up, but this typically does not exceed thirty minutes.

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

Absolutely! In fact, this is my preference too. I'm used to arriving and playing on venue's own pianos so this is perfectly fine.

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

Of course! I have a wide repertoire that you're more than welcome to choose from and I will also happily learn new pieces that are desired. Certain pieces may work better than other when it comes to being performed on solo piano but I will happily discuss specifics.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

I can provide my own digital piano and amplification in certain circumstances but this will depend on travel. Very happy to discuss specifics relating to this.
