    Experience at the Highest Level

    I've played countless awards dinners at venues like the Pump Room in Bath — one of the most prestigious event spaces in the South West. I understand the rhythm of a corporate evening: the anticipation during arrival drinks, the convivial energy of dinner, the heightened atmosphere as awards are announced.

    My role is to read the room and respond. Whether that means sophisticated background ambience or bringing the energy up to make your guests feel like the stars they are — I know how to match the moment.

    Why Choose Professional Entertainment

    What Makes the Difference

    Brand Alignment

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does it cost? expand_more
    Most corporate bookings fall between £300–£600, depending on duration, location, and any special requirements. This typically covers 2–3 hours of performance. I provide detailed quotes within 24 hours, and I'm happy to work with your budget for the right event.
    What equipment do you bring? expand_more
    I bring a high-quality stage piano with professional amplification suitable for any venue size. If your venue has an acoustic or grand piano, I'm always delighted to use it. I also carry backup equipment for complete peace of mind. All equipment is PAT tested.
    Can you play our company song or jingle? expand_more
    Absolutely. If you have a company anthem, theme music, or a song with special significance to your organisation, I can arrange it for piano. Just send me the details with reasonable notice.
    How do you handle pauses for speeches and awards? expand_more
    I coordinate with your MC or event manager. I'll fade out naturally before speeches, and can provide walk-up music for award winners — from subtle to triumphant, as you prefer. Clear communication beforehand ensures seamless transitions.
    What's your dress code? expand_more
    I match the formality of your event. Black tie for galas, smart business attire for corporate dinners, or specific dress codes if your event has a theme. Just let me know and I'll dress appropriately.
    Do you offer ensemble options? expand_more
    Yes. I work with excellent vocalists, saxophonists, and other musicians across the South West. From solo piano to a full jazz band — we can build the perfect sound for your event.
