“The very embodiment of the term Crooner. Knows his way round the ivories better than most, with an unbeatable repertoire of Classics and originals to keep you entertained."

RIDER
This small list of things are the absolute essentials for me to deliver the best show. Standards for a concert type show. Things you would think are obvious, but sometimes people want to put me into a situation that they can make a commission on, but that I know I will fail in.
1 • The pianos* right hand side (curve side) towards the room; but slightly more than a perfect "side on" position, so that more of the audience can see the keys (to where my back is a 1/3 to the room).
2 • *A real piano
- no outer case of a piano with a hidden electric keyboard inside
- (an in tune piano for best results, with all notes working - though not essential)
3 • A seated theatre like setting (exceptions may exist)
4 • A minimum one hour set up time allowed for
5 • Show booked to run for one hour
but with an allowance for an extra half hour run on
6 • Doors to open to performance space at least a half hr prior
7 • The room to have no hidden corners.
It can not be that people are around a corner / hidden from the line of sight or sound from the performance area.
Any such areas to be closed off, if they have no view to the piano.
8 • I do not perform / sing with a mask on.
a safe distance can be maintained or screen put up as required.
9 • I do not perform while people eat
Thank you for your attention to these details, looking forwards to a special performance for everyone.

FOR AN INTIMATE SETTING / VENUE ACT

*One Hour set up
Sometimes I need an hour and a half, access to the performance area, especially on the first time.
It’s ok if other people are there.
Once it's all set up their's only a sound check for 5 mins max for the dynamics for that room.
BREAKDOWN:
rig set up: 20 min
sound test: 20 min
meet with people: 20 min
buffer just in case 30 min
