Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients tell me that they especially enjoy hearing their favourite pop/rock songs, but RE-IMAGINED with a "classical"-sounding, chilled-out twist!
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
A small selection of my performance venues includes:
Cathedrals: Bristol, Norwich, Exeter, St David's, Salisbury, Chester
Festivals: Cheltenham Lit Festival, Cliftonfest Bristol
Fine Dining: Koloshi Cheltenham
Cafes, Bars, Restaurants: Various
Church services and concerts: various
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
To name but a few:
Queen, Billy Joel, Elton John, Vanessa Carlton, Avril Lavigne, Coldplay, Ludovico Einaudi, The Beatles, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach!
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Live broadcast: Radio Avril (Russian Federation) - 90 minute interview with 12 live performances.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my utmost to maintain a flexible approach to my bookings. I understand that people do not always know precise details at the time of booking. 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 - I can route an mp3 player through my amplification set-up in between my sets. This is a service which I offer for free on request in advance.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually set up about 60-90 mins before the performance start time. I like to allow plenty of time to ensure that the sound is perfect!
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Yes absolutely! As long as the piano is in tune and in good working order, I'll be delighted to play it.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
I have a specimen playlist, but it is absolutely not exhaustive! I always hold a Skype conference with clients so that we can discuss music choices before the event. It also allows me to play various ideas live during the conference call so that clients can hear what different music choices will sound like.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, absolutely! I can bring a battery-powered system for use outside (if no mains power is available), or I bring a sleek-looking white digital piano for indoor use (or outside with mains power available).
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Of course! If your song choice is not on my set list, I might still know it. And if I need to transcribe it and make a beautiful piano arrangement of it for you, this is also included in the price you pay (up to 3 unique song requests per booking. Additional requests are chargeable @£30 for this service, to take into account transcription & arrangement time)
