Pianists in the East Midlands

Pianists across the East Midlands

From Loughborough, Nottingham, Chesterfield, Northampton and Lincoln, the East Midlands has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of ceremonies, drinks receptions and dinners. The pianists on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

This region page covers Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

From Quorn Grange Hotel and Hodsock Priory to Tissington Hall, Delapre Abbey, Branston Hall Hotel and Kilworth House, the venues across the East Midlands range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Across the East Midlands you can choose from classical, jazz and pop pianists, and singing pianists. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.

We've been booking pianists since 1999, and every act on this page travels across the East Midlands. Travel and, where needed, a digital piano are built into the quote, and you can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £250 to £900, depending on line-up, date and how long the act plays
  • Always included: travel and, where needed, a digital piano, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across the East Midlands
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The East Midlands is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Most bookings fall between £250 and £900. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel and, where needed, a digital piano are included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the East Midlands.

Each act's page carries real video, audio, a song list and reviews from previous clients. A couple of clips will tell you far more about how an act works a room than any description can.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the event. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

Usually the ceremony music, then background music during the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Repertoire ranges from classical pieces to piano versions of pop, film and musical songs.

Some can. Singer-pianists add vocals for the aisle, the first dance or a sing-along set, and each act's page makes clear which they offer.

Most pianists bring a digital piano. If your venue in the East Midlands has its own piano, tell us and the pianist will check it's suitable.

Enough room for the piano and a stool, and a power socket for a digital piano. A space of around two by two metres is usually plenty.

Typically £250 to £900, depending on how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

“Alan was fantastic, he played 3 sets with the middle one being Elton John which was fabulous. He read the crowd and knew exactly what would get everyone going. We had a mixed age range and everyone loved it. Highly recommend Alan for any party.
Thanks to the team at Hire a Band for organising everything for us.”

“Thanks so much to Alan for another fantastic performance! He got everyone dancing and made the party so memorable. Appreciate all the support from the Hireaband team in the lead up to the event too - you made everything super easy. Fabulous!”

“Before the day I was able to speak to Tom directly about any requests I had and to iron out any details of the day. On the day itself Tom contacted me by phone to let me know he was set up which was a large weight off my mind . The quality of his performance was superb and we were able to tailor it to exactly what we wanted. Many friends and family have commented on how good the piano was and we would have no hesitations in recommending to all of our friends and family.”

“We were lucky enough to have Piers Benjamin play at our wedding. We gave him a few songs and the kind of vibe we wanted - then he did the rest. He was fantastic! He had our guests tapping their feet as they entered the venue, and greeted friends. He was the perfect person to set the mood for our wedding. Lots of our friends have commented on how he great he was what a quirky, unique vibe he lent to the occasion. So pleased we went with him and we will definitely use him again.”
