Performing as a Pianist in Warwickshire
With its vast range of venues, Warwickshire is a wonderful area to work in as a pianist. Also, the county has a rich historical past and this is reflected in its many historic venues. Most of the events that I do in Warwickshire are weddings, but I also cover other types of events. These include corporate events’ private parties, festivals, and charity events.
From a Solo Pianist to a Jazz Band
Work as a solo pianist in Warickshire is plentiful, but I can also provide larger line-ups. These range from duos up to a five-piece jazz band. Here is a full list of the line-ups I can offer:
- Duo – piano and bass
- Trio – piano, bass, and drums
- Quartet – piano, bass, drums, and sax
If you contact me I can help you find a line-up that will match both your budget and space at your chosen venue.
The Music
I love jazz and Warwickshire provides me with a regular supply of work as a jazz pianist. Some people may be put off by the word jazz, but the style I play is of the older variety and has a more general appeal. My influences being the likes of Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Benny Goodman.
Above all, I try to make my music entertaining so that it sits perfectly in any social situation. One of the ways I try to achieve this is by playing tunes that people are familiar with and love. I hope that my music adds sparkle to your event without drowning conversation.
Wedding pianists are in demand in Warwickshire and this is a role I play most of the time. Playing the piano for weddings involves laying many styles of music – not just jazz. Weddings often require me to play a different genre of music for each part of the day. The styles I play include Latin, classical, pop, blues, rock, and even singalong.
My Work in Warwickshire as a Sing-along Pianist
Trends change and a recent one in the Warwickshire area is to book me as a sing-along pianist. These tend to be themed events and informal. Events that need this sort of music are often Cockney nights, Peaky Blinders evenings, and Wartimes celebrations.
