Performing as a Pianist in Eastbourne, Sussex
I live in Sussex, so it’s not surprising that I do plenty performing as a pianist in the in Eastbourne and the surrounding area. The events that I do range from weddings and corporate events to birthday parties and Cockney themed events. Sussex has many venues, including quite a lot of hotels around the Eastbourne area, and I’ve played the piano in many of them.
From a Solo Pianist to a Jazz Band
I suppose most of my work is as a solo pianist, but I can also offer larger line-ups from just a duo (piano and bass or piano and vocals) up to a five piece jazz band (piano, bass, drums, sax and vocals).
I can usually help you find a line-up which will fit both your budget and available space at your chosen venue.
The Music
My repertoire consists of great tunes from the great jazz standards of Gershwin and Cole Porter to the great classical works of Bach and Albeniz. Originally a classical pianist, my jazz piano style been honed by listening to the great jazz pianists of the past such as Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, George Shearing and Monty Alexander.
Whether you book me as a solo jazz pianist or the full jazz band – I always try to give the music a feel good quality. I hope that this quality makes the music sit comfortably in any social situation and will add sparkle to your event without drowning conversation.
A fairly recent trend has been to book me for Cockney singalong events which has proved to be great fun. I provide all the song sheets so that all you have to do is provide me with some good hearty voices and some enthusiasm. You can learn more about this on the singalong page.
