It was quite cold as I waited for the 5:55am London train. I had my digital piano strapped to a foldaway sack trolley and I had a small amplifier and leads in a small backpack. I was on my way to a wedding at Asia House, Cavendish Street and the ceremony started at 10:30am. I […]
Yesterday I played the piano for a wedding at the Tythe Barn at Priston Mill. This was my second visit to this wonderful venue and I was really looking forward to it. I was only required to play for the ceremony and the reception drinks. This meant that I had an early finish (4:30pm) and […]
I can’t remember how many times I’ve played the piano at Orchardleigh court, but it’s been quite a few. The venue is just outside the small town of Frome which is a lovely little place and I often stay the night there if I am performing in the area. On this occasion I was playing […]
Come and see me play the piano at Smeetham Hall’s wedding open day on 8th October from 2pm – 6pm. I am going to be demonstrating my baby grand piano shell which really does look the part at any wedding. You can enjoy a free glass of Prosecco on arrival and experience this beautiful venue […]
Yesterdays job was quite a lot different from the norm in that I could go by train, rather than drive. If I am playing the piano in London, as on this occasion, I usually opt for going by train if at all possible. I had tried to phone the groom previously to try and find […]
Yesterday’s event was a late one so I made the fatal mistake of setting off a bit later than usual. I had been booked as a pianist in Oxfordshire for a wedding reception. If you have read previous entries on my blog you will know that on Saturdays I like to set off early, so […]
I woke up at 5:30am and it took a while for me to come to my senses. I very slowly realised that I had work to do and I had to drive around 190 miles to Devon. There was no time for dosing, so I quickly got ready and I was on the road just […]
I was on the road at 7am and was on my way to Calf Heath, which is a tiny village not far from Wolverhampton. I was playing the piano for a wedding and I was due to start playing at 4:00pm. So I was ridiculously early, even by my standards. On Saturdays I like to […]
After my long drive from Nottingham to Chislehurst, Kent I was pleased to see the beautiful building of Cambden Place in front of me. This is the home of Chislehurst Golf Club and there were loads of people milling around. I found that the staff were very helpful, and having showed me where to set […]
It had been a long slow drive to Nottinghamshire from Surrey and I was really please to be ahead of schedule with Colwick Hall finally in sight. This was my 3rd visit to this lovely venue and I was looking forward to playing the piano for Natalie and Tom’s wedding. On this occasion I was […]
