Piano music can be a great addition to any party or event event. Over many years I played at hundreds of birthday parties, anniversary parties, house parties, office parties, Christmas parties and Bat and Bar Mitzvahs. I played for a party hosted by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1993, Queen Noor of Jordan’s 60th birthday in 2012 and Elon Musk’s 44th birthday party in 2016.

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!

If your venue doesn’t have a piano…
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.
I also offer the option to include the hire of a high gloss black baby Dutchgrand piano shell for parties and events.
From an aesthetic perspective, the Dutchgrand looks beautiful in any setting and wholly compliments any room or venue. With the hire of acoustic grand pianos and digital grands costing in the region of £550.00, the Dutchgrand piano offers a relatively inexpensive alternative and can be moved and re-located during the day. The cost of hiring the Dutchgrand is £125.00 in addition to the prices listed above.
