Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Clients love my energy, professionalism and engagement with the audience. They also enjoy my wide variety of repertoire and usually comment on the high standard of performance
Which venues have you performed at in the past?

• Disneyland Paris
• Branston Golf Club
• Venues in New York, New Orleans, Boston and San Francisco

Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I love all music, but probably Frank Sinatra, Nat King Coke, Elton John and Billy Joel.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Definitely The Savoy!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to make sure your event runs as smoothly as possible. Please let me know if there are any time changes as soon as possible.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Yes I can! I can either curate a Spotify playlist suited to you or you can give me your own.
How much time do you need to set up?
It usually takes me about 45 minutes to set everything up and sound check. This can be longer if the equipment needs carrying a long way.
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Of course!! As long as it’s in tune and I’m working order then that will be fine :)
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Definitely, as long as I am given plenty of notice then that’s fine.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes! I bring all of my own PAT tested equipment including a wonderful Yamaha electric stage piano.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
Of course! If there is a special song that you would like me to play that isn’t in my song list, then I will learn it. There is a fee of £65 for this service to take into account rehearsal times etc
