About Edward

Professional Jazz musician who can be the perfect background to guests arriving or a dinner party.

Pianist

Salisbury

Public liability insurance of £10 million

With over 10 years working as a session pianist I have been lucky enough to perform with some amazing artists and tour across Europe with various bands. I have played across London in Jazz clubs including the Vortex, the 606 and Ronnie Scott's. though I was trained in classical and eventually Jazz I pride myself in being able to fit the style of my playing towards any event and request. I love to work with clients, whether they be artists or someone looking for entertainment, to cater the way I play to fit their specific needs and I take great satisfaction in working with someone and finding out exactly how I can fulfil their requirements of me.

Edward's Reviews

5 out of 5

From rehearsal an hour before the gig to the actual performance Edward was patient, quick to adapt, and cleverly both lead and followed the spontaneity of the evening with great piano playing.

5 out of 5

Ed played piano at my birthday for two hours whilst guests arrived. I found Ed's conduct very professional, he provided all the equipment and was very accommodating to my requests.

5 out of 5

I have worked with Ed several times on recording sessions with full bands and single artists. He has always had a professional and eager attitude to the work. He turned up on time played well and took direction incredibly in his stride.

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

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

Yes absolutely and we can discuss what is on the playlist.

How much time do you need to set up?

Absolutely if the piano is tuned and works properly I am more than happy to do that.
