Keyboardist

Crewe

Public liability insurance of £10 million

Geoff has been playing the piano since he was 4 years old and it has always been a passion to play for others. He achieved distinction at Grade 8 in both Piano and Organ and subsequently studied at Birmingham Conservatoire. He can sight read and play by ear and so in addition to his extensive repetoire, can quickly learn music to suit your needs. For a number of years, he was resident pianist at the Royal Hotel in Ventnor, Isle of Wight, and has accompanied several soloists and choirs, including at the Royal Festival Hall. He reached the semi-finals of Young Organist of the Year and has worked in several churches as an organist and Musical Director. He is personable and professional and will enhance any event or venue.

5 out of 5

Geoff played beautifully at our wedding and made it so special. He took the time to sit down with us and go through songs we liked. Geoff is very professional and you can see he is passionate about what he does. We would highly recommend Geoff to anyone. Andy & Anita

We recently had the pleasure of having Geoff play at our wedding ceremony, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment the first note was played, the atmosphere became elegant and romantic. He played each piece with such grace and emotion, perfectly complementing every special moment. For mine and my bridesmaid’s entrance I asked Geoff to create a slowed down, emotive version of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S TV Theme, ‘I’ll Be There For You’. It was more than I could’ve ever imagined, just stunning. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician to make our day even more unforgettable! Highly recommended!
