This page provides details of some of my experience since April 1997 and gives brief details of the Equipment I have.

Before becoming full time, I have worked for many years as a semi-pro pianist, organist and keyboard player. My repertoire suits most tastes, which has enabled me to work pubs, clubs, restaurants, hotels and more recently ferries, cruise and river ships.

Typical Song and Composer lists can be viewed from the Options page.

I am a competent music reader and do some vocals when using my own keyboards.

I have played not only solo (inc. function musician playing piano, keyboards) but also in duo's and small dance bands through to local big bands. I have also been a regular member of jazz bands playing mainstream and traditional styles.

I play for dancing which includes music for sequence dancing. I can provide information on dance steps for popular sequence dances for newcomers to this style of dancing.

I can run a number of "Name That Tune" sessions and supply the questions together with blank answer sheets.

I can supply the song sheets for a number of "Sing-a-long" sets.

I can supply small bands if required (jazz & dance)
