Private Parties and Special Events
Guaranteed to add an air of sophistication to any party, dinner or corporate event, you won’t be disappointed to include a live pianist in your plans. With a vast amount of experience behind me, I’ll draw from my featured Repertoire which List. From the great standards of the past through to the current hits of the day, I’ve always got something up my sleeve to please a crowd!
If a piano is unavailable at the venue, I will provide all necessary portable piano equipment and PA at no extra cost and can sound like anything from a solo cocktail pianist to a fully fledged jazz trio depending on your taste or requirement. Being portable, the equipment allows live piano music to be played at all sorts of venues and events, from Thames cruisers to medieval castles, from house parties to large corporate gatherings and launches.

‘Hi Richard, thanks for making our night so special, we had an absolute ball

No piano, no problem!
All of the above prices include the provision of my Roland RD800 Digital Stage Piano and Yamaha PA system in venues where a piano isn’t available for use.
The piano and PA system can been moved quickly as required during a party or event. With most parties or events, the piano will be set up the room an hour or so before guests arrive. It can easily be moved if the drinks reception and dinner are in different rooms and a quick move, taking no more than fifteen minutes or so, will allow for piano music to be played almost continuously throughout the afternoon or evening.
