Dan Phelps

Description

Currently the resident pianist at Webbington Hotel & Spa, I offer a bespoke service and a wide variety of music - I can play Ed Sheeran to The Darkness, Debussy to Disney and everything in between! Music performed can be from my own repertoire or can be specific pieces of music which are special to you. You could also make your event even more personal by commissioning your own piece of music, which will be composed specifically for you. For weddings I can also provide recordings of any of the music you have chosen for me to play (additional charges apply) so that you have a musical keepsake o ... f your special day.
