“All music is folk music, Ain’t never heard a horse sing a song!”
Now Playing In a Sentimental Mood…

Looking for a Jazz or cocktail Pianist in Bath, Bristol, or across the South of the UK? As well as my work on Guitar, I also play Piano professionally for weddings and parties, and started doing this over 20 years ago as a teenager, providing background music for hotel restaurants. Click here to hear some of my piano recordings.
On Piano I play mostly light Jazz standards, cocktail music and love songs. This is often for weddings, but also for corporate parties, hotels and even in hospitals. Timeless classics to create a very stylish atmosphere. If you love early Jazz and songs by masters such as Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Nat King Cole and G&I Gershwin to name a few then I can play you many romantic favourites to recapture this genre of music.
I also play some more modern songs (see playlist below) and am happy to learn pieces on request - though if there is a certain song you would like me to play that is not on my playlist do please mention this at the time of booking as I sometimes have to charge a little extra for this, depending on the song.
If your event needs music for a long time period then why not have me play both piano and guitar at different times? This would add a real change of mood and keep the party fresher than just having the same instrument for the whole time. Please let me know at the time of booking if possible.
If there is no piano at your venue I can bring my own Kawai digital piano which is one of the best available. The recordings on this page were recorded on this instrument to give you a true taste of how this will sound at your event. This can be amplified if required through various amplification systems, supplied by me and depending on the size of your event. All of my equipment is PAT tested and insured to meet legal requirements.
