About William Smyth

A Fully qualified Organist and Pianist available for Weddings, Funerals and events.

Organist

With over 15 years of experience I have found that one of the most important parts of any event is music, in my job I aim to make music as fitting and as coherent as possible to the event in question, it's without a doubt that music, when carefully chosen can set the atmosphere and scene for you event in a way that no words or actions can achieve...! I trained under the wonderful and legendary musician Baron George Minne in St Patrick's cathedral Armagh. I have held positions as organist in many noted churches in Ireland such as Clonard Monastery, St Patrick's Armagh and Sacred Heart Roscommon to name a few, I've also work as a pianist in various hotels owned by Clayton, Hilton and Ibis... etc Music is my life in many ways, I have played at concerts/recitals in Belgium, Croatia, Ukriane, Bulgaria, Spain, Poland, Germany and Lithuania

Wow!! ¿What can I say?! I write here in the English! Hello from Barcelona I loved his musics, and he made our cruise trip brighter and with his strength and patience he was able to entertain us not only with his great big Irish accent, but with his jazzzyyyy chords .... Oooh yeaaah!!! We hired him on the boat...and here we found exactly the kind of entertainment we wanted... Musics from eras of the 40s 50s and a reprtoire that gives us only too much for the imagination to cope with .... Give me the beginning beat of that "Yesterday" by Liverpool's beetle, and I will be with tears...??? All I can say is he is Bueno, and I recommend.... Normally the British tourist want food, and sun, maybe a pool if not getting burnt, but nooooo they wait for them chords to roll out..... 😉😉😉

Fantastic performance from William. He help to make our day that bit more special, in many ways he brightened it; from playing the wedding March, to a gentle and reflective rendition of Ave Maria, I would highly recommend his services!
