Ken McCarthy Wedding Pianist
High profile professional Wedding 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 his profile as a professional performer / teacher can be assessed from the list of people with whom he's been associated.
He was both pianist 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 and some American lines. He is currently musical director for Vince Hill concerts; this year will find them both on Royal Caribbean lines as guest concert cabaret.

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 church 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.
