Kim performed at our housewarming and birthday party, and she absolutely elevated the whole event! She brought pure class and incredible tunes. Her partner was a huge help with the setup, and both of them blended right in with our guests - so engaging and friendly. The setlist was completely spot on. Her performance style, from playing beautifully at the stunning piano to moving around and interacting with the crowd, made for the perfect day. Do not hesitate to book Kim - she is a true class act!

Thank you so much, Steven. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of such a special celebration. Richard and yourself were wonderful hosts, and we genuinely felt so welcome from the moment we arrived. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the music and that the setlist hit the right note for the occasion. It was a joy performing for such a lovely group of family and friends. Thank you again for your kind words, your hospitality and for trusting me to be part of your housewarming and birthday celebrations. Wishing you both all the very best in your beautiful new home. Kim

Quite simply, Kimm was absolutely superb. A great singer who approached everything professionally with a warm and friendly personality. Kimm made a huge impact on our party and with our guests and I would gladly have her sing for us again. Geoff and Donna Jacobs

We hired Kimm to sing & play for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception a few weeks ago. When I arrived at the venue an hour before the ceremony, she was already completely set-up and prepared. She sung beautifully to welcome guests and nailed the songs we wanted for entering and exiting the ceremony. After this, Kimm seamlessly repositioned for a further set during the drinks reception to entertain our guests while photos were taken. Everyone including the venue staff were so complimentary of Kimm's voice and her ability to play the piano brilliantly on top of this! Her judgement of volume levels were perfect to fill the venue without overpowering conversation. When we spoke on the phone a few weeks before the wedding, she was so warm and friendly, and I could not wait to hear what she had to offer. My expectations were far-exceeded and I cannot recommend her enough!

It is an absolute pleasure to hear Kimm playing the piano and singing live. Kimm's voice is beautiful; she brings a unique quality and versatility to the songs she performs. I love the way Kimm really connects to her audience. Whether the songs are up tempo or ballads, Kimm never fails to deliver them perfectly.

Customer questions

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

I always try my 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?

Yes absolutely! Music in between sets is a really popular request and I actually offer this service for free.

How much time do you need to set up?

It depends on how many guests you have and how much equipment needs to be set up but usually between 30-60 minutes.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, I even have a portable digital piano if the venue doesn't have one.

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

I am more than happy to learn new songs and it's all part of the service -as long as it's far in advance so I can rehearse.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

The Ritz in Paris and a show at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
