Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love my wide ranging repertoire, which covers many different styles and will suit any occasion.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Hampton Court House, Coombe Lodge, Berkley Castle, North Cadbury Court, Wells Cathedral, Truro Cathedral, Hall For Cornwall, South Lodge Hotel, Lainston House Hotel
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Debussy, Chopin, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Max Richter, M83
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Playing solo piano in Wells Cathedral at a lunchtime concert.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
If timings change in the run up to the event just send me a quick message to let me know. I always try to be as flexible as I can, and I understand that timings can change on the day as well.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes, if I have brought my amplifier, then I can plug in my iPod to continue the piano music between sets.
How much time do you need to set up?
If I am using my own electric piano then that usually takes around 20 minutes to set up. However, I would always aim to arrive at the venue at least an hour before the performance start time.
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Of course, as along as it is in working order and in tune.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
You can pick as many songs from my repertoire list as you like!
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, absolutely. I can bring my own electric piano and any necessary amplification, all for no extra charge!
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Certainly, as long as I am given reasonable notice.
