Pianist

Welcome

Thank you for visiting my weddings and parties site! I offer a one-stop-shop for piano music for marriages, receptions, parties and corporate events all over East Anglia and beyond, including London, playing a wide range of piano pieces and some church organ music.

A great way to vary the sound at your wedding or party, you can choose from formal Bach Preludes to beautiful Mozart arias or romantic Chopin Nocturnes to wartime nostalgia or current pop music - or any combination! If you have a particular song or piece in mind especially for your marriage, just get in touch on 01379 687203 and I will learn to order (to a maximum of three for each ceremony)

Each piece can be timed specifically, with improvisation included if necessary. I can also act as an accompanist. If there isn’t a piano or organ at the venue then I have a choice of two full-size portable Yamaha pianos (with amplifier) available. These are most adaptable for civil ceremonies, using the organ setting for the service and then the piano setting for the drinks/breakfast afterwards. This option can provide over three hours' worth of music.

I have recorded a new CD (about 75 mins) featuring mainly 'standards' from composers such as Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Frank Sinatra as well as some chart tracks. It is all played on an authentic piano of the 30's. For a sample of 10 tracks please CLICK HERE (a player will open in a new window) - the full version is available on request.

If the type of songs you like arn't on the website, do look on the Repertoire Page as that has a fuller classical listing.

In addition you may also click on the individual tracks below:

Track 1 - Bach - Toccata in D (Church organ)
Track 2 - Mozart - Rondo in D (Harpsichord)
Track 3 - Chopin - Nocturne no.2 in E flat (Grand piano)
Track 4 - Satie - Gymnopedie no.1 (Air choir)
Track 5 - Scott Joplin - Maple Leaf Rag (Honky tonk piano)
Track 6 - Pearson - All Creatures Great and Small (Live grand piano)
Track 7 - Billy Joel - New York State of Mind (Electric piano)
Track 8 - Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (Acoustic piano)
Track 9 - Self - Mood Music (Fantasia)
Track 10 - Bach - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Chapel organ)

Lastly, please don't forget to take a look at the Useful Services page which has contacts for companies I would happily recommend. Karl Linturn's novel idea for www.weddingvoucherbook.co.uk is a particularly handy way of reducing your spend on the day! Find him at wedding shows as well.
