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?
I would provide this free during my set time. No problem.
How much time do you need to set up?
About 1 hour
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
I would prefer to use my own piano as it provides other functions including my vocal inputs. However, it could be that if playing at a certain event (e.g Church) use of the piano at the venue would make sense, but I would like to check out tuning first - some pianos can be notoriously out of tune or in a bad condition.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Yes. You can also suggest other new pieces if you give me time to learn them.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, including the beautiful white baby grand piano shell
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Yes
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Variety, friendliness and quality. I ensure that each performance is tailored for the specific audience.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
5 wedding receptions and 3 personal parties.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Stevie Wonder, Lionel Ritchie, Neil Sedaka and The Beatles perhaps - but many others.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Don't laugh, but I was on Junior Showtime back in the 1970's. More recently, my band were the support for comedian Stan Boardman (famous for his "Germans" jokes).
