For corporate events, weddings, functions, and private parties throughout London, we deliver a Duelling Pianos experience designed to drive the energy and engage every guest.
Collaboration, not competition
Despite the name, Duelling Pianos is not about competition — it’s about collaboration, energy, and interaction. Two highly skilled piano entertainers perform face-to-face, taking turns to lead songs, play off one another, and build momentum throughout the performance.
Fast-paced, spontaneous and ever-changing
The show is fast-paced and constantly evolving. You might see the entertainers swapping pianos, performing together four-handed on one piano, or responding to the energy of the room in real time. Every performance feels spontaneous, exciting, and completely unique.
Where the audience becomes part of the show
At the heart of every Duelling Pianos show is audience participation. Guests are encouraged to sing along, make requests, and become part of the performance. The result is an immersive live music experience that brings everyone together.
The PianoFactor experience is interactive by design, with the flow of the night led by experienced performers.
The night starts with experience, not guesswork — reading the room and choosing the right songs to engage guests or bring people onto the dancefloor.
Exploring different genres and feeling out the crowd, gradually driving the energy and lifting the atmosphere in the room.
Guests are invited to make requests throughout the performance and clearly shown how it works, so everyone feels included from the start.
The natural interaction from the performance creates shared moments that bring everyone together, from big sing-alongs to dancing and full-room participation.
Requests are chosen with intent and introduced at the right moments, keeping the energy high and consistent from start to finish.
Every PianoFactor Duelling Pianos performance is built around two piano entertainers, and genuine audience interaction, led by experienced professionals.
The result is a polished, professional live Duelling Pianos experience for your London venue — personal, energetic, authentic and carefully configured to suit your event.
