About Laurence Knight

Laurence Knight is one of the Midlands` most talented pianists, and is in constant demand for cruise ships, residencies and functions.
Pianist
Northampton
Public liability insurance of £100 million

Laurence has many years ' experience as a professional professional pianist having worked in theatres, clubs holiday centres and cruise ships. Whether the requirement is for quiet ambient music or livelier party material with vocals, help is at hand! Soothing classical pieces, ragtime and jazz, medleys in homage to iconic artists such as Billy Joel, Elton John, the Beatles, all are at Laurence`s fingertips, as are songs from the shows, the American songbook, jazz standards and classic stand-alone piano solos. Virtually any request can be accomodated, often on the day itself - more complex pieces can be learned with advance warning. Laurence has a passion for playing the piano, both solo and in bands, and his career has taken him round theatres up and down the country and on the cruise ships of Cunard, P&O and Fred Olsen. Artists accompanied include a variety of vocal, instrumental and comedy acts, both on theatre stages and cruise ships. Recent highlights include a residency on the flagship P&O Iona, and an exclusive VIP drinks party in the grounds of Lamport Hall. Versatility - and the ability to `read the room` ensures that the customer is always satisfied, with compliments guaranteed at the end of every performance! Laurence has his own Roland RD700SX digital piano together with Mackie sound system - these can be provided at no extra cost and are PAT tested. The digital piano has the full sound of a full-size grand piano as well as many other sounds such as acoustic guitar or Fender Rhodes. Smart attire is very important to Laurence, whether it be suit/tie, Tuxedo and bow tie or waistcoat and tie...the choice is yours. Laurence has spent the majority of his working life as a musician, and such is his passion he has not once regretted the choice.

Laurence, thank you so much for playing at George's christening. Not only was your playing excellent but l also really appreciate your patience and adaptability given that I didn't give you a huge amount of information beforehand - you certainly made the process very stress free for me and we will certainly use you again in the future should we need anything else playing in the church.
