About Me
Playing piano isn’t just a hobby for me – I’m a full-time professional pianist and composer, and perform at around 100 weddings and other events each year.
For several years I was the resident pianist at a five-star hotel and Michelin-starred restaurant, and I’m now a recommended pianist at a number of prestigious locations – including wedding venues, country houses, and a world-famous golf club.
I recently released my first album, All of Me, which you’ll find on Spotify and iTunes. Or you can watch me play on my YouTube channel.
Background piano adds a real touch of class to any occasion – in addition to weddings, I often play for garden parties, formal dinners, corporate and military events. I play well-known songs from all eras – always something for guests of all ages – in a style which is traditional but with a modern twist.
If you’d like me to play for your wedding or event, or for friendly advice about music for your day, please get in touch at any time using the contact details below.
