I am a Bristol based Pianist and Piano Teacher. I play for Restaurants, Cafes, Weddings, corporate or private parties and functions such as Vintage Tea Parties. Great for restaurants on special events such as Valentine's, or New Years Eve . I play a wide range of music, Classical, Modern, Contemporary, Jazz and Christmas. As well as being a professional Piano Teacher, I play in a Post Modern Swing Band (JJ Gatsby) and often play with other bands or individuals. I also perform voluntary for Southmead Hospital and some local charity events. Contact me for a chat about your special event and to discuss your needs. Jane

Jane played so beautifully at our wedding, her music created the most wonderful atmosphere from the moment guests arrived. She was professional, accommodating, and knew exactly how to set the right tone. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed her playing. Jane truly added a touch of elegance and romance to our wedding. Thank you Jane x

Jane played our piano for us during our daughter’s 21st birthday and we have nothing but praise for her playing and also for dealing with Jane throughout the booking process and prior to the event. We can highly recommend her. She has a fantastic play list and we wanted to many that she shortened them to fit in all our requests. She also got our daughter to play a small piece with her and played happy birthday which was well received by all the party goers. Many thanks to Jane, who helped make our party very special.

Jane played at my birthday celebration afternoon tea for 30-odd family and friends held at Browns in Bristol and made it very special for all of us. I gave her a free hand over what to play and she came up with two excellently performed sets in various different styles that pleased everyone. Many of my guests commented on how much they had enjoyed the music and I really loved having Jane with us - especially when it came to playing Happy Birthday!

Myself and guests enjoyed Jane Glasson's piano pieces played at our function. Musical choices were excellently chosen to compliment our evening, Jane played beautifully. An enjoyable entertaining evening professional put together by a talented professional Lady. (10 / 10)
