http://www.artofpiano.co.uk/repertoire

Compiling a complete list of the songs I know would be a nigh-on impossible task! I have an extremely large repertoire, which is expanding all the time. It includes light classics, the Great American Songbook (George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin etc), Rat Pack swing era (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole etc), as well as classic and contemporary pop. Just a few examples of the songs in Aidan’s repertoire:. A Moment Like This (Leona Lewis). All You Need Is Love (The Beatles). My Heart Will...

My extensive experience in civil partnership celebrations makes me an ideal choice now that gay weddings have become a reality in the UK. Need an organist for the church? More audio on other pages.

Music for your wedding ceremony | Pianist for weddings, corporate events and parties

http://www.artofpiano.co.uk/music-for-your-wedding-ceremony

Music for your wedding ceremony. The variety of music played and heard at wedding ceremonies all over the world is enormous, yet (in Western culture at least) there are two undisputed favourites, whose “airplay” far outstrips their competitors, even today. The first of these, usually heard as the bride walks down the aisle at the beginning of the ceremony, is the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin, more popularly known as Here Comes The Bride, or simply the Wedding March. Needless to say...

Civil Partnerships | Pianist for weddings, corporate events and parties

http://www.artofpiano.co.uk/civil-partnerships

I have extensive experience of civil partnership ceremonies, and although most gay couples will now probably choose a full wedding ceremony. In the wake of the changes to UK legislation, a civil partnership is still an alternative available to them. When it comes to selecting those who will help make it a day to remember, you’ll want to work with people who are open-minded and supportive. My friendly, professional approach ticks those boxes.
