Frequently Asked Questions

Duelling Pianos is a live, interactive music format performed by two piano entertainers on stage, driven by song requests and real-time performance.

You can read a full explanation on our What Is Duelling Pianos page.

Absolutely!

We take song requests throughout the night, and they’re a big part of what makes our shows interactive and fun.

While we don’t use a fixed setlist, the flow of the evening is always directed by our entertainers — reading the room, choosing the right moments, and mixing requests with big anthems and dance-floor classics to keep the energy high.

If there’s a special song you’d like in advance (first dance, walk-on, celebration moment), we’ll happily prepare it for you.

Yes — pretty much everything. We cover a wide range of genres, and most requests fall into categories such as:

  • Rock & Pop
  • Disco & Motown
  • Funk & Soul
  • Jazz & Swing
  • Country
  • American Classics
  • Rock ’n’ Roll
  • Reggae
  • Rap & Garage
  • Sing-along classics
  • Modern chart hits
  • Britpop

Yes — every performance can be tailored to your event.

We adapt the flow, music style, pace and interaction based on your audience, schedule and atmosphere.

We can include special songs, themed moments or personalised shout-outs to make the performance truly unique.

We arrive early and take care of all setup and sound-check requirements.

The following is included as standard:

  • Our custom portable baby grand pianos
  • Full professional sound system
  • Lighting for the band/performance area
  • Request slips and pens
  • High-energy music for the breaks
  • 3 × 45 minute sets of live entertainment

Sound and lighting is generally not provided for events in London — see Do you perform in London? below.

We control the volume carefully and can perform at anything from full party energy to a more intimate acoustic-style level.

Note: For events with strict volume limits or very small rooms, we can use an electronic drum kit to significantly reduce overall sound levels. We don’t typically use this setup — as the full acoustic kit sounds best — but it’s a great option when venues require lower volume.

Our standard performance is 3 × 45 minutes (135 minutes total), but we can adapt this to suit your schedule.

Breaks are kept upbeat with high-energy music to keep guests dancing and maintain the atmosphere.

If you'd prefer us to play a specific playlist during the breaks, just let us know.

Duelling Pianos: minimum 5.0m × 2.5m
Party Piano Band: minimum 3.5m × 2.5m
Pop-Up Piano Bar: minimum 2.0m × 2.0m

Yes — we perform throughout the UK, Europe and even globally.

Yes — we provide playlists before the show and during the breaks.

After the performance we can keep music playing for around 20 minutes while we begin packing down.

For late-night partying, we recommend adding our DJ or arranging extended coverage.

Booking is simple — just follow the steps on our How To Book Page →.

There’s no commitment until paperwork is completed, so feel free to check our availability or get a quote anytime.

Yes — we regularly coordinate with venues, planners and production teams to ensure everything runs smoothly.

We’re used to working with schedules, venue requirements, sound rules and event-day logistics, making the whole process easy and stress-free.

Yes, we provide entertainment for many clients in London.

For events in London we generally do not supply a sound system or lighting due to restricted access, parking limitations and longer load-in times.

Sound is usually provided by the venue or arranged through an external AV company. We’re happy to help coordinate this if needed.

Our online quote system will clearly show whether your venue is in an area where we cannot supply sound and lighting.
