Biography - About us

We're extrememly proud to represent piano 'legend' Bob Holloway to perform as a cocktail pianist for weddings and functions. Having been a professional pianist  since leaving school, Bob has played at almost every type of function imagineable. He's performed all over the world accompanying famous artistes including Liza Minnelli, Arthur Askey, Frank Carson, Jess Conrad and Lulu. He has played for the Queen at Buckingham Palace and has been heard many times on radio, television and in films. He's an expert at 'reading the room' and judging the mood so able to perform the most appropriate music. Requests are never a problem. If he's heard it - he can play it. 

In the same way as most of our pianists, Bob also has a great singing voice. He doesn't charge any extra for this (it's purely optional) but it adds a nice bit of variety. 

Bob is happy to provide his own portable piano and would make a wonderful addition to your wedding day or event.
