Damian and I spend a long time searching for the perfect piano player for our special day. We knew what we wanted and although there were a lot of very good players out there we wanted our pianist to have a real touch of class. We found Carl on the internet and after hearing his music and watching his videos we knew we had hit on someone special. We arranged a meeting and after five minutes with him we were sure he was going to be the man for us. Needless to say he was fantastic. His music choices were spot on and everyone commented on how he really set the atmosphere. THANK YOU CARL!
Carl has been playing for us for just over four years and he is a big hit with our customers. He's great at chatting with them and loves taking requests. He can literally play anything from old songs to songs released this month... make sure you ask for his jazz cover of Katy Perry.. its amazing! He does a regular Jazz night for us so why not pop in for a drink?
Carl is an exceptionally skilled musician. His talent shines brightly no matter which genre of music he performs and he is very good at reading the audience and entertaining them.
