Book Aidan
Digital Pianist
Aidan is an experienced solo/ band digital pianist and vocalist covering the UK, whose live music adds atmosphere and distinction to any occasion. Whether you want smooth jazz, light classics, pop favourites or a blend of all three, Aidan works closely with you to make sure that precisely the right music and mood is delivered at the right time during the course of each event
He first sat down at a piano when he was 5 and fell in love with the instrument. Aidan then went on to read music at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. He majored in composition and developed a strong interest in improvisational music, in particular jazz.
Aidan works closely with his clients to ensure that just the right mood is created for each phase of the event. He is professional and friendly without being intrusive.
His repertoire is extremely wide and varied and includes jazz standards, songs from the shows and musical, swing hits and classic pop tunes (see below and technical specification).
For most engagements he uses his own digital piano and a small powered monitor speaker. Therefore the absence of a piano at a venue is never a problem. If you wish the house piano to be played, Aidan will usually bring his digital with him as a back-up.
Space required – 6ft x 4ft minimum.
When it comes to corporate events, atmosphere is everything, and adding live music to your occasion gives it a real cachet. It instantly strikes the right note as you greet your guests, acting as a conversation starter and smoothing away any awkward silences as people get to know each other.
Whether you want smooth jazz, light classics, pop favourites or a blend of all three, Aidan works closely with you to make sure that precisely the right music and mood is delivered at the right time during the course of each event, bringing the same professional values to his performance as you do to your business.
Live music is an essential ingredient of the perfect party. Whether you’re organising a dinner party with a difference, or celebrating a special birthday, anniversary or other, Aidan’s music will help ensure it’s an occasion everyone will remember for years to come.
