Customer questions
How much time do you need to set up?
If using your piano, very little.
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Yes, I prefer to play a real piano - they sound (and look) better than a keyboard
Please check your piano has been recently tuned and is in full working order (notes and sustain pedal).
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
I'm happy to discuss you preferences
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
I normally only use a keyboard for TRIO gigs - see my 'Tim Richards TRIO' page.
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Varied selection of repertoire, including standards, originals, blues, boogie etc.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I've recently given solo piano concerts at Leicester University, Norwich Anteros Foundation, London City Lit, Hitchin Benslow Music, etc.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson, Dudley Moore, Dr John, Wynton Kelly, Ray Charles, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock...
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Vienne Jazz Festival, France, on main stage with 'Spirit Level' 5tet, opposite Miles Davis and Horace Silver.
