Ken McCarthy Wedding Pianist

Ken McCarthy Wedding Pianist

High profile professional Wedding pianist, jazz pianist and accompanist, fully experienced in show business and the classical music world. Ken is one of the more "mature" pianists and well known in the entertainment industry (so he knows all the tunes!).

He performs at weddings and cocktail pianist events not just locally but throughout London and the south-east, alongside his West End and touring work, and you can gain an impression of the standard of his playing by the stars he has performed alongside.

Ken was both piano player and musical director for the big West End shows - "Bubbling Brown Sugar","Evita", "42nd St.", "Some Like It Hot", "Joseph - - -" and others.

Over the years, he's also worked the clubs and theatres, being "on the road" with firstly Frankie Vaughan, then Roy Castle for ten years. becoming pianist with Dame Vera Lynn during her last few singing years, performing in many countries for royal occasions.

Much of his musical work has taken him on major cruise ships - QE2, Oriana, Arcadia, Royal Caribbean and other American lines - where a high musical standard is always required. More recently, Trio Fantasia with its mixture of classics and jazz is gaining national recognition and is a showcase for Ken's brilliant piano technique.

Ken's comments:

Of course, there are many styles in piano playing and I have a personal leaning to light jazz (Sinatra / Ella music) though classical music is also in my background, which is particularly useful for weddings.
I also suggest my trio for background music during reception possibly with a girl vocalist.
I carry a Yamaha P90 keyboard should there not be a piano in your venue - this is tailored by myself to sound exactly like a normal instrument and I love to play it!

In addition to my show-business career, take time to click on our website and listen to Trio Fantasia. This features classical music and jazz, tastefully blended to be easy on the ear - another possibility for wedding background music.

Should you require a CD of myself, please call or email.

Helped make a special day perfect!

A big thank you to Ken who played during our wedding breakfast in June 2009. After a friendly hello, Ken played almost non stop during our 2 hour meal. The variety of numbers made a perfect background to our day, with the odd number being just...
