Mark is no stranger to playing for shows, restaurants and mariages. He has worked in London theatres on musicals by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Howard Blake and has often been engaged by venues such as the magnificent Château de Pennautier for corporate functions and weddings. His repertoire covers jazz, romantic Broadway songs, bossa nova, modern as well as classical music. He especially enjoys playing jazz standards and music appropriate to a festive and relaxed ambience.
For church weddings, he can play organ music, piano or cello to suit your individual requirements - processional and recessional pieces of your choice, hymns and instrumental interludes, followed by piano and accordion for drinks reception, or background music during dinner.
If there’s an acoustic piano available, great (!), otherwise Mark will bring a Roland digital piano and PA system. Here are a few tunes Mark can offer...
