Arthur West

Description

I am one of the country's leading Piano Vocalist Entertainers. Having had residencies in Cheshire & Manchester for a number of years, I moved to London in 2018, and have since become a sought after and established front line entertainer. I absolutely love my job, and I believe it shows in how I perform, in an infectious way.
I currently perform in a range of varied venues across the South of the UK, with availability to hire for your wedding or private event.
I am able to cater to your style of event; whether this means Solo Piano down the aisle, background Motown hits whilst you eat, ... or foot stomping pop covers and boogie woogie piano for you to dance to; I can be versatile at your request. In this way, I have a large library of songs in my repertoire for you to choose from; and if it's not too unusual, I can improvise a new cover on the spot.
I play using various PA speakers to suit the size of the room; and I often use a stomp box to get that extra 'pulse' to get people dancing. Overall, this gives me a big sound. However, if you need a bigger one, I can be hired as part of a Piano duelling show, or trio/band.
