We recommend booking as early as possible, especially for events taking place at 'peak times' e.g. summer, Christmas & New Year and those falling on a Saturday, as we have bookings confirmed up to 2010. We are happy to provisionally hold a date for a short period and offer you first refusal if another client would like to book us for the same date. Please call Sheila on 07868 039 514 or email us with your enquiry.

Sheila directly with your enquiry or fill in our online
quote form. Can we come and see you perform live? Throughout the year we occasionally perform at public events. About 99% of the work that we do consists of weddings, corporate events and private parties. However, public events will always be advertised on this site. How far will you travel? We are based within easy access of the M25 in the South-East so many of our bookings come from Surrey, London, Kent, Essex, Sussex and Hampshire, however we regularly travel further afield performing at weddings, civil ceremonies, parties and other special events in Cornwall, The Midlands, Yorkshire and throughout the UK. Which line up should we choose? Solo Piano- Eugene Portman is in high demand as a solo pianist, he has a vast repertoire of jazz and classical music and will learn any favourite music on request. Perfect for wedding ceremonies, private parties and corporate events. Duo (vocals & piano) - perfect for cocktail parties, small intimate weddings and corporate events and parties in the home where space is limited. Trio (vocals, piano & bass or drums) - can create a wonderful mellow feel yet can also swing into the night for dancing at smaller weddings and private or corporate parties. Quartet (vocals, piano, bass & drums) - ideal for larger events, where that big classic jazz sound is guaranteed to get people on their feet. Quintet (vocals, piano, bass, drums and saxophone) - the full line up, great for dinner dances, large weddings and any other big occasion! What do you wear? We usually wear all black, either plain suits and cocktail dress or dinner suits and evening dress depending on the occasion. Do you provide recorded music when the band aren't playing? Yes. We usually play well known jazz/swing cds through our amplifiers or we're happy to play your own cds if you prefer. What if the venue doesn't have a piano? If there is no piano at the venue, we can provide a Yamaha Digital Piano which has a fantastic sound (all the Mp3s on this site were recorded using a YDP). In addition to this, we provide all our own sound equipment. All we need is the power supply. Can you learn a song of my choice? If you let us know in advance, we'd be happy to learn any favourite song. Do you have Public Liability Insurance?. Yes, please click HERE to view my certificate supplied by the Musician's Union.
Can you perform outdoors? Yes, as long as we can be connected to a power supply and have adequate protection from any bad weather or very hot sun. |
