Professional Pianist for your Wedding, Anniversary or function.

Brian Farley - the professional - experienced Pianist & Musical Director for "EVITA" and lots of West End and national touring musicals and the major cruise ships. I play all around the UK but provide the best quotes as pianist for hire for a wedding, special birthday, anniversary or function in my local Essex, Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, London, East Anglia and surrounding areas.

 

  • Tasteful with huge repertoire.
  • Will play anything you want notified in advance or on the day.
  • Reliable and very experienced worldwide.
  • Fully professional digital piano and equipment available if required.
  • Lots of commendations.

 

 

 

 

Welcoming your guests with champagne whilst a cocktail pianist plays tasteful light music is always highly impressive. I have a repertoire of 1000's of well-known numbers as a wedding pianist and for a civil ceremony. Maybe dinner music is required from a professional pianist for a wedding reception or other special occasions, or piano music for a wedding anniversary or special birthday.

 

  • Always check for availability if you have been let down by another pianist (which should never happen!).
  • ANY Wedding, Anniversary or Special Birthday or Event in 2024 / 2025 needs checking NOW!
  • *Especially URGENT for all Summer dates!

Of course, in order to be one of the UK's leading pianists one has to have a high degree of professional experience in different styles and musical roles. I have been not only cocktail pianist on the P&O luxury cruise liners Canberra, Arcadia, Victoria and Oriana, but Musical Director for the production shows onboard as well.

I was 1st keyboard and assistant Musical Director for 'Evita' over five years in the national tour, and been pianist and keyboard player for many other musicals and shows in London's West End, around the UK and abroad.

 

You can check any date for my availability through 2023 or 2024 HERE.

 

I have played on TV, accompanied a huge number of well-known artistes, performed as pianist at London's Hilton and Dorchester Hotels, made many recordings and I write and arrange music. I compose and create to commission or on the spot! I was trained at Trinity College of Music in London and play classical, folk, jazz standards, other standards, latin, show songs, pop and other genres - there are a few sound clips on this site. But enough....for more information you may wish to visit brianfarley.co.uk especially if you have a requirement for a musical director or need information regarding musical services not covered specifically by this site.

 

As well as a pianist for a wedding, perhaps a pianist is needed for Valentines Day to play those sentimental love songs without intrusive vocals being in the way of the moment, or you would like to host an afternoon tea dance or musical quiz. A mothers day pianist who knows all the music of the era and is an adept professional at entertaining makes such a difference.

Requests are encouraged - I won't be caught out very often on any musical numbers!

 

NO MATTER HOW SHORT NOTICE, IT'S ALWAYS WORTH CHECKING HERE IF A DATE IS AVAILABLE FOR HIRE

UK Functions: what areas are covered?

In short, I can provide the perfect live solo piano music for wedding receptions, a wedding anniversary, garden party, corporate functions, etc. etc. I live on the Essex / Cambridgeshire border and I am for hire in Cambridge, East Anglia (which includes Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambs), Hertfordshire and London but of course perform as pianist outside of this area as well. More detailed list below.

I supply digital piano &/or keyboards especially suitable for this professional work if required, but it is always nice to have an acoustic piano provided for the quality of touch and playability. The music sample clips have been recorded on the digital piano so you can hear the quality.

CLICK HERE if a piano player is wanted for a wedding, anniversary or a birthday or you would like to organise solo pianist accompaniment for champagne, cocktails or dinner, etc. or a forthcoming Valentines or Mothers Day. Maybe a golf dinner, banquet or company dinner is approaching and you need music from a solo pianist for hire in Cambridge, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and surrounding areas.
