I am an experienced, versatile singer-pianist, available for hire at UK events and venues. I can play and sing pop, rock, jazz, musical theatre, crossover and classical numbers, and I can fit my sets around your needs.

I am Midlands-based, and can travel to most parts of the country (free travel up to 1 hour from Kibworth, Leicestershire).

Get in touch for more details and a competitive quote! Please include what sort of event you are planning, and the length of time you’d like me to perform (e.g. 2 x 40-minute sets). Background music can be provided in between sets free of charge.

Event Types/Venues:

• Corporate events
• Charity events
• Private events
• Weddings (ceremony, drinks reception, meal, first dance, proposal, or a combination!)
• Christmas parties
• Birthday parties
• Hotels and restaurants (either lobby/welcome/ambient music or drinks reception/meal)
• Bars

I’m completely flexible to your needs, and I will design my sets based on your requirements, whether it’s pop and rock classics, jazz numbers, musical theatre hits, crossover favourites, or ambient music to add that special atmosphere – or a combination of all of these! I can learn requests in advance too. See my song list below.
