Dan played at our house for our Wedding anniversary party. He added a touch of class to our evening and is a brilliant improviser and pianist as well as being a nice guy. I'd definitely recommend him to others.

Customer questions

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

As long as you give me some notice and I can work around it, there shouldn't be a problem and I like to be as flexible as possible.

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

I would put some suitable background music through my speakers whilst not playing.

How much time do you need to set up?

10 minutes.

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

Yes! Provided that it has been tuned recently and is in good condition. If there is any doubt about this, I'm happy to look at photos, make and model and or speak to the venue beforehand to decide this.

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

Yes, but always ask me as there may be others, and some I am prepared to learn especially.

Are you able to bring your own piano or keyboard?

Yes. I have an excellent top of the range digital piano, with 2 (stereo) powered speakers.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Normally yes, although there could be a small agreed fee for this depending on the request.
