The Lake District Pianist

Repertoire / Set Lists

One of the first questions many couples ask The Lake District Pianist is, "do you have a list of songs?" The simple, and often unexpected, answer is "no".

It's Craig's unrivalled repertoire, request taking ability and stylistic flexibility that makes him stand out from the crowd and leads venues and couples to choose him to work for them. Essentially, whatever you want, you've got it, whether its well-known classical pieces, a set of singalong classics, a day of the most recent chart hits, a wedding ceremony using obscure video game themes, or absolutely anything in between.

'Craig did not require us to pick from a song list and we got all the personal songs we wanted on the day performed perfectly... even the Lego Movie theme tune!'

Reading a list of 1000+ songs amounting to well in excess of 48 hours of music is nobody's idea of fun, and given Craig takes new requests almost daily, any list would be out of date within a week. So, instead of a comprehensive song list, please find below a few songs for each of the most-requested styles / decades Craig is asked to play on piano at weddings and events to show the range of options. Even the following is a lot to read through!

If there's a really special piece of music you need to hear, get in touch. Craig will send you a link to an exsiting video or record a quick sample next time he's playing.
