Alex's Reviews

5 out of 5

Alex played our wedding at Battersea park. We had him play whilst we were having drinks and he was the perfect vibe for our day. People could still chat or just watch and chill out. Aside from being amazing live he was very professional. He knew how to work a room and cater the set list to our guests. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone for any event!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My clients enjoy the atmosphere my music adds to their events. I cater my set lists to all ages so that everyone has something they recognise and can hum/sing along to.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

I've performed at countless wedding venues across the UK and abroad as-well as a number of theatres and arenas, Notably Liverpool M&S Bank, Motorpoint Arena Nottingham, Utilita Arena Birmingham, First Direct Arena Leeds, The Brighton Centre, The SEC Armadillo and P&J Live in Aberdeen.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

I love great songwriters of all genres like Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Sting, Elton John, Carol King, The Beach Boys, Billy Joel, Cat/Yusef Stevens and many more. I also love jazz piano players like Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock and Oscar Peterson.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I know that lots of events don't go completely to plan so I always try to be flexible. Just keep me up to date!

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I offer this included in the price.

How much time do you need to set up?

Half an hour maximum, Probably less!

If I have a piano at my venue, are you happy to perform on that?

I'm more than happy to perform on whatever piano the venue has so long as it's in tune and working.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Yes of course, would recommend picking a few favourites and i can probably figure out your musical taste from there.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes, I bring all my own gear

Can you learn song requests before the event?

I'm happy to take requests, I may charge a small fee depending on complexity and the number of requests.
