This is an online diary about my life as a jazz pianist in the UK. I don't give details of every single gig that I do - I just select the ones that are interesting for whatever reason. I hope that it will be a source of amusement and inspiration for any music lover or musician. It's not really about work: but my life.

Now this was a good bash. It was Jane Elliots 50th birthday party and was in Blenheim Crescent, Notting Hill, London which is renowned for the famous bookshop from the film 'Notting Hill'. I started playing the piano around 1-00pm and finished around 6-45pm with half an hour break and a few short stops to talk to people. The general ambience of the party was that of people having a good time; and I usually find that if they are having a good time - so am I.
Mellow jazz pianist for any event
