Which artists have you been most influenced by?
Queen
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Edinburgh Festival Fringe
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I always try my best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let me know as this is usually no problem.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Unfortunately I do not provide this service.
How much time do you need to set up?
I usually aim to be set and ready around 30 minutes to an hour before I'm due to start playing.
If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?
Yes, absolutely - as long as the piano is in working order (including all keys and pedals) and in tune.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
You are welcome to choose anything from my pretty extensive existing rep list. If there is anything that you'd like me to play that is not on my list this will most definitely be okay, but additional charges may apply.
Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?
Yes, absolutely. I can bring and set up my portable stage piano with amplification if required.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
If there's a song you would like me to play which isn't included on my song list I am more than happy to do this for you although additional charges may apply to take into account preparation time and sheet music costs etc.
