John’s eclectic musical background and tastes, together with his ability to play by ear and to improvise, make him the ideal pianist to provide what is often referred to as “background music”;  he has extensive experience of performing  at a wide variety of functions such as wedding receptions, other private parties, art exhibitions, etc. and at venues ranging from pubs to top-class hotels clubs and restaurants.    He provides an interesting and varied program covering different areas of music from classical to show/film/easy listening music to jazz, and can provide a high-quality keyboard if required.    He invariably establishes a good rapport with his listeners, and  welcomes the chance to play their requests.
