I am a versatile pianist with over 25 years of experience playing all over the world including Las Vegas. I also worked as a professional cocktail pianist on carnival cruise lines out of new york, miami and the bahamas. I have a smooth style of playing and I put real emotion into the music. From classic jazz standards, to Frank Sinatra, all the way through the decades to modern pop and rock/film themes and classical. My strength is my versatility and I can cater for pretty much any taste. If you require a certain type of music or theme, or specific song for a truly special first dance, if I dont know the song, I am more than happy to learn it prior to the gig. I am all about making your event extra special and adding a touch of class to your day.
Absolutely brilliant, would definitely recommend. Great communication and on the day was flawless. Professional and replied to questions asked promptly. Would definitely recommend for a wedding! Excellent value for money.
From the moment I listened to Adrian's demo I knew he was exactly what I had in mind for entertainment at my 50th birthday party. I paid a small deposit straight away through Poptop to secure a booking and Adrian contacted me the next day to start discussing the types of music we had in mind. He played popular hits from tv shows, old classics like Sweet Home Alabama and a range of rock/pop. He was open to any suggestions I made and even offered to play requests on the night. He was easily contactable through email or phone and we spoke 2-3 times before the event. Despite a very wet and windy evening (and a really long return trip from Manchester to Harrogate) Adrian arrived, along with his piano, well before the party to set up and played 2 x 45 minute sets for us. Despite there being a lot of chatter we could still hear him with the addition of his speaker; Adrian suggested we may need this in a room full of people which he was absolutely right about. My guests enjoyed your playing immensely, and I've had lots of lovely comments about the atmosphere you helped to create. Thank you Adrian, you are a truly talented gent!
