» how it works

a) Select the songs, b) Hire the venue, c) Supply a piano

a) Songs

Have a look at the songs on our playlists: there are quite a few but don't forget, the lists are just for guidance. The point about Wandering Minstrel is that you get to hear what you want, so if its not there, get in touch and we'll bend over backwards to find your song.

Contact us with a rough playlist and the details of your event: when it is, who it's for and where it is (we'll travel!) Then we can go through the details either on email or on the phone until there are no more question marks - and you're happy.

Our music is performed live and acoustically, so you can be assured of a bespoke performance that will make you or the person you love feel really special.

b) Venue

Choose any venue that works for you, it may be a home, a restaurant or another ideal location. We normally like to perform in a venue suited to 40 - 100 people.

c) Piano

We only ever perform using a real piano. Steve Higgins is one of the best accompanying pianists in the country - that is why he is on the staff at English National Opera - and only a real piano does him justice. Please don't worry if your chosen venue doesn't have a piano. They are surprisingly simple to hire and we can make all the arrangements for delivery and tuning on your behalf.
