Corporate and Christmas

Live piano makes a room feel looked after. Chris plays calm background music while guests arrive and talk, and can lift the mood with familiar songs when the evening calls for it. Either way he reads the room and adjusts.

    • Drinks receptions and networking events

    • Award dinners, launches and anniversary parties

    • Hotels, restaurants, bars and function venues

    • Christmas parties and festive receptions

    • Ambient: calm neo-classical and film music that suits conversation and dining.

    • Nostalgia: instrumental 90s and 2000s favourites, from Britpop to power ballads, for a crowd that wants to recognise the tunes.

    • Christmas: festive pieces and well-loved carols e.g. Walking in the Air, O Holy Night, Fairytale of New York

    • A mix of the above, built around your guests and your schedule.

  • Typical booking: two sets of 45 minutes, with a break. Corporate bookings start from £500. Longer or shorter sessions can be quoted on request.
