we recommend wedding pianist Matthew Watts
Matthew is available to play at any occasion including larger events such as wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, garden parties and corporate functions to smaller affairs such as birthdays, dinner parties and anniversaries.
“With a wide and varied pianist repertoire from classical to jazz standards to pop, rock and ballads I can provide the perfect background music to complement your event. For venues that don’t have a suitable instrument, I can also provide a digital piano.
Matthew is available for work across the north from Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield to the Dales, Lake District, Peak District and North York Moors. To discuss what kind of music you would like and for a free quotation, please email northernweddingpianist@gmail.com or call 07716 031252.”
