Most pianists bring a setlist. Finn brings the last hundred years, wanders over to find out what your guests actually want to hear, then plays it next. Louis Armstrong to Lewis Capaldi. Etta James to Ed Sheeran. Any song can become a piano piece, in his own interpretation.
A sneak peek.

- No fixed setlist
- Requests played on the spot
- The bit guests remember
Play us a song, Piano Man.
The bit guests talk about afterwards.
Years of experience
Hundreds of weddings played, up and down the country.
Reads the room
Two hours straight, every song bent to the mood, from candlelit hush to a full singalong.
Plays it on the spot
No fixed setlist. Whatever the room asks for, he can usually find it there and then.
More than the request run.
A delicate aisle walk
Play him thirty seconds of a song you love and he will turn it into something soft enough to walk down the aisle to.
Matched to the room
Grand hall or garden marquee, jazz lilt or big singalong. The style bends to fit the atmosphere.
Songs learned specially
A particular tune in mind for a particular moment? Tell him ahead of time and he will have it ready.
Any era, on request
From 1920s standards to this year’s chart hits, or he can stick to just the decades you love.
No piano? No problem
Finn brings his own, plus a large speaker built for big outdoor spaces.
Years on the road
Hundreds of weddings, played the length and breadth of the country.
Full-time Finn-esse
Up to 50 venues a year and two hours a set without a break.
Tune in to any decade.
A taste of what guests ask for. The full list is, roughly, everything with a tune since 1920.

Some compliments
Hitched Wedding Awards winner. Rated 5.0 on Encore Musicians (141 reviews), Alive Network (88 reviews) and Hitched (100% recommend).
“You will not find a better pianist.”
“He responded to spontaneous requests with a Yes every time.”
He has an extraordinary repertoire and an ability to play a huge range of standards and many less well known pieces.
“My Grandma was your biggest fan.”
A live pianist was something I was really keen to have, especially given the venue and the gorgeous grand piano sitting in the front room. The guests loved that you played outside too through the drinks reception.
“An absolute endless talent that had the entire room singing along.”
The best money spent at our wedding 100%.
“I have no idea how he flawlessly plays so many requests, but he does!”
Finn played for our ceremony and drinks reception, which also included him needing to move from one area of the venue to outdoors which again, was seamless.
“I was in tears from the moment I heard you start to play our aisle song.”
We originally were not planning on having any live music at our wedding but changing our mind was honestly one of the best decisions we made.
“After listening to it for 30 seconds in our consultation he immediately started playing an amazing wedding version of the song.”
Many of our guests also commented on how quickly he was able to play requests and how talented of a pianist he is.
“All our guests loved that you came round and asked for requests, it made them feel like they were adding to our day!”
Having a special aisle entrance recorded as well meant the world to me and was a real surprise for my dad who burst into tears when he heard it!
“The atmosphere created by Finn’s performance was nothing short of magical.”
Finn played for a total of three hours. Not only did Finn showcase his impressive repertoire, but he also took requests from the audience and delivered stylish renditions of each song.
“He has an eye for detail which makes you feel completely at ease and he absolutely nailed it on the day.”
His songs pre aisle walk, during the aisle walk and then on exit were absolutely perfect. The guests loved him during the drinks reception.
“Finn is our go-to man for piano playing here at Birdsall House.”
His repertoire is extensive, and he plays beautifully. What makes him truly special though is how lovely he is to deal with.
“What sets Finn apart, is his approachability and genuine kindness.”
I’ll also never forget hearing the aisle walk song as it was just played so beautifully.
“The visitors really enjoyed his performance and loved that they were able to request their favourite songs also.”
Finn played at Music on the Terrace for our Harrogate Autumn Flower Show 2023.
“The range of music he could play was more than we could’ve imagined, from Disney songs to Green Day.”
“Wish we could get married again so he could play for us twice!”
A lot of our guests were employed in the video game industry and Finn was kind enough to learn a number of different game songs which everybody absolutely loved.
“His music created a wonderful ambience during the evening and his talents were greatly appreciated by our guests.”
