About Jeremy

I'm one of the most popular jazz, blues & soul singer pianists in the UK. I prioritise quality music and my relationships with clients.
Singing pianist
Manchester
Public liability insurance of £5 million

I've been in love with performing music for many years now... so much so that I gave up a career in Medicine for it, so my heart is always found in the songs I sing. I have build up my music business over many years to become one of the UK’s most in-demand singer/pianists, playing either solo or with my band of all sizes. My style is natural and soulful and I have a huge repertoire of my own arrangements of jazz, blues, pop and soul classics". I can perfectly re-create for you the intimate atmosphere of a NY piano bar accompanied the sounds of Elton John, Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder. I will capture the romance of the Jazz, Swing era, playing foot-tapping Sinatra or Bobby Darin classics; emulate the blues and soul vibe of Ray Charles or the lilting sounds of Bob Marley and Bobby McFerrin. It’s for these reasons I've been honoured to entertain at top locations in London and the UK; The Shard, The Boisdale, The Arts Club, Claridges and the Dorchester Hotel. In addition, I've headlined at iconic jazz venues such as the North Sea Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, PizzaExpress Live and The Jazz Café. In 2019 I was selected to play the main stage at the Love Supreme Festival on the same bill as Jamie Cullum and Lauryn Hill. This was a career highlight. My recordings have been played on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, BBC6 Craig Charles show and Jazz FM Over the years I've been selected to entertain high end clients like the Americas Cup Sailing Regatta, the UEFA Champions League Final, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Manchester United, Visit Britain, NW Regional Tourism Awards, Selfridges, Kodak, KPMG and Shell UK I also like interacting with guests, where appropriate. “London Jazz Review” magazine described me as “a charming and witty front-man, one of his skills being that he can make the audience feel immediately at ease”. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

Jeremy was delightful. He opened up my fiancé's 30th birthday dinner wonderfully and was a pleasure to deal with before, during and after the event. Thank you so much.

Booking Jeremy as our wedding pianist was one of the best decisions we made!! He played whilst our guests arrived at the church and during the signing of the register and then again during the wedding breakfast. His repertoire is fantastic, his voice amazing and he really got everyone in such a happy mood. At some points he even had all of our guests singing along during dinner. A real wedding highlight!!

Jeremy was absolutely brilliant ! I had Jeremy for my husband's birthday ! His voice was soulful and he completely enthralled my guests that evening . Jeremy had an excellent song list and he also kept some of the audience request . Jeremy was professional and I highly recommend him for any private functions or large events .

Customer questions

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

“I always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know.”

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

"Absolutely. This is a really popular request and we actually offer this service for free. If you'd like a DJ service via our PA after the final set until the venue closes, we provide this for an additional £100.”

How much time do you need to set up?

Assuming a standard load in, it only takes me 20 mins to set up as a solo musician. Once set up, I'm happy to put some background music on to help set up the atmosphere.

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 working order and in tune, then I'm happy to play on it!”

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

I'm happy for you to pick as many tunes as you like from my playlists. On the day I like to order the songs by "reading the room" at any one time. This always works well.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

I bring all my own equipment, and I use the top of the range keyboard (Nord Stage 2) and PA equipment (Dynacord poweramp and EV speakers) for the perfect sound

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I am happy to learn a song especially for you. Once you let me know the song, I will check whether its an appropriate song a and style that I can do justice to. I will of course do my best.
