Singing pianist
London
Public liability insurance of £10 million

My name is Molly Wishart and I’m a singer and pianist based in London. I achieved a first in my music degree at Queen’s University Belfast whilst studying jazz piano with renowned Northern Irish pianist, Scott Flanigan. I also have a musical theatre diploma. I have been performing throughout Belfast over the past few years. I had a residency in the piano lounge at two of Belfast’s most iconic and well-known hotels: Europa Hotel and Stormont Hotel. I’ve played at weddings across Northern Ireland and played in bars and pubs throughout Belfast city and Dublin. These have ranged from solo performance (vocals and keys/piano) to duets (vocals/guitars/keys) as well as 4-piece bands and larger bands (jazz big bands). I have a fun, upbeat pop set which includes songs by Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Carole King, Harry Styles and the Bee Gees. I also have a classy, laidback jazz set which includes songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Nina Simone, Minnie Riperton and Grover Washington Jr or I can play a mix. I drive, I’m super reliable and I can provide my own equipment if necessary. Whether you're looking for someone to play you down the aisle, provide some pop & funk tunes for a party or someone to play some background jazz, I can do it. I look forward to hearing from you!

Molly played at our recent wedding and I couldn't recommend her enough. From the first email her professionalism was evident. Her voice and keyboard was exceptional and our guests were greeted with a variety of songs on arrival. My entrance song set the mood and Molly's voice was exceptional. Our wedding was the best day of our lives made even better by Molly's music. I highly recommend her. Molly you are a star xx 10/10  Sarah and Philip Melville

We would highly recommend Molly, she played weekly at our Sunday Buffet and her style and broad selection of songs suited our guests of all ages. We are a 4-star hotel and it was important to us to find the right balance of having live music but not being excessive and Molly was perfect with her tone. We were sorry to see Molly leave and would welcome her back anytime. Lee Newell General Manager – Stormont Hotel
