Yes, of course - as long as the piano is in working order and in tune, then I'm happy to play on it.

My set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests dance and have an amazing time. However, I’m definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Yes, absolutely! I bring my own instrument to play acoustically.
