"Emily was a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. Emily researched her audience and adapted her programme to fit around our event. Emily has a real gift and showed a real passion for her music! We can't wait to work with Emily again" – Julie Cain, Virgin Money Manchester Lounge
"We were privileged to be entertained by Emily at our fundraiser for Everest Base Camp! Emily is incredibly talented and all our guests were thrilled with her performance. We are sure that Emily has a phenomenal future that lies ahead" – Martin Blondel, Steve Prescott Foundation
"It was a real delight to have Emily play for us in the Virgin Money Sheffield Lounge. She played for 3 hours, and created a wonderful festive atmosphere which brought our customers and staff together in the run up to Christmas. At many points throughout her performance our customers enjoyed singing along, standing up and having a dance, or simply relaxing with the beautiful music which filled the entire floor. We had some amazing feedback from customers who told us it was a real pleasure to watch and listen to Emily play. We will certainly look to book Emily again for future events." – Holly Garforth
Emily was INCREDIBLE at our wedding. She kept in contact with us regularly before the event and rang the venue to confirm everything was okay for her set up and took that responsibility from us which was a big help!
On the day she came and set up and played beautifully. She spoke with our family and guests and treated them like friends. She learnt some songs for us which wasn't on her repertoire but you would never know she had only recently learnt them as it sounded so good. Her music really calmed the groom down before the bride walked down the aisle!
She came and spoke to us and congratulated us after her set and was really lovely but also let us go on and enjoy our day. Everyone commented on how good she was.
Thank you so much Emily, would honestly recommend you to anyone and everyone!
Emily is delightful, cheerful and very talented. She played a small grand piano at my birthday bash on 14.03.2020 a wonderful array of classical, jazz and pop. All with great skill and tact while 33 chatted ate and drank around her. She is excellent and I am delighted to recommend her unreservedly.

Emily played piano for our Wedding and was incredible and very talented, she played all songs we requested very well. She played on both keyboard and piano, meaning I could walk down the aisle to my favourite song. We would definitely recommend Emily for any occasion.
Emily is an outstanding pianist. We felt privileged to have her playing at our wedding reception. She is extremely versatile and played for three hours with only short breaks. Her repertoire is impressive, from modern pop to Chopin and all of it was beautifully arranged and performed both on a keyboard and a piano. She created a superb atmosphere and our guests were full of admiration for her talent. I would strongly recommend Emily for your function.
Emily recently provided the music for our wedding in October 2022. Despite our original wedding being cancelled due to covid in 2020, Emily kindly honoured our deposit when we finally rebooked 2 years later, which we thought was extremely kind of her.
Emily is really personable, reliable, professional with an eye for detail. She went out of her way to keep in touch with us throughout the planning process and contacted the venue herself ahead of time to ensure everything was setup correctly for her on the day.
On the day, the music Emily provided was absolutely beautiful and created the most magical atmosphere during our ceremony, with many people commenting how fantastic she was. We can't thank you enough Emily - you really are super talented! - wedding at Stockport Town Hall
Of course! Requests in advance are welcome. I can work with you to come up with a set list including all your favourites, or you can leave it to me.
Ideally a break of 15-20 minutes per 90 minutes of playing. However, this is flexible depending on your requirements.
Yes.
My training at the Royal Northern College of Music and involvement in numerous contrasting projects have given me a lot of experience. Thanks to this and my varied repertoire, I am very adaptable. I work from how my audience seem to be enjoying my repertoire choices, and adjust accordingly to play more of what is best received- every audience is different!
