A high-energy, piano bar experience that thrives on audience interaction and big singalongs
Our Pop-Up Piano Bar is a lively and interactive piano entertainer experience designed to work where traditional live bands can’t. Using a compact, fully self-contained setup, one professional piano performer delivers live piano, vocals, rhythm and bass — creating a full, driving sound without the need for additional musicians.
The show is request-led and audience-driven, built around sing-alongs, dancing, real-time interaction and guests gathering naturally around the piano. Because the setup is fast, flexible and space-efficient, the Pop-Up Piano Bar can transform almost any location into a lively, immersive piano bar — from rooftop gardens and private homes to pubs, terraces and unconventional event spaces.
A complete live sound without the band
Piano, vocals, rhythm and bass are performed live by one experienced piano entertainer, delivering a driving, high-energy sound without the need for a band. Because the setup is fully self-contained, Pop-Up Piano Bar can be placed in locations where traditional live acts simply won’t work.
An experience driven by the guests favourite song choices
Audience participation sits at the core of the Pop-Up Piano Bar experience. Guests are encouraged to make requests, sing along and interact freely, with the performer shaping the music in real time around the people in the space. The result is an energetic, inclusive piano bar atmosphere that feels spontaneous, personal and authentic.

Pop-Up Piano Bar
We booked Carl for a pop-up piano party for our wedding reception and would highly recommend! The dance floor was never empty and it felt really special.
Pop-Up Piano Bar
Carl was super reassuring as we got close to the date, he’s calm and you can trust him. Thanks for keeping 150 guests entertained and keeping the dance floor full all night.
Corporate Event
Having seen duelling pianos in Las Vegas, we wanted something similar for a corporate event. PianoFactor ROCKED THE HOUSE. Incredible energy and a fantastic atmosphere — highly recommended.
Wedding
We booked PianoFactor for our wedding after seeing duelling pianos in Florida. Carl and the band were brilliant and kept guests entertained from start to finish.
Wedding
Possibly biased, but after going to countless weddings we knew we didn't want a standard wedding band. Carl killed it — such a good atmosphere. Book him now!
Party Piano Band
WOW! We booked PianoFactor for our work’s party night and it was the best night we’ve had.
Party Piano Band
They work absolute magic. We couldn’t sit still from the minute it started. Two standing ovations — and the nicest, most approachable guys we’ve ever met.
Party Piano Band
You absolutely smashed it. Everyone commented on how good you were — and how no-one could find a request you couldn’t play. Phenomenal.
Private Party
Hired them for a 70th birthday with very high music standards — they did not disappoint.
Duelling Pianos
PianoFactor have performed their Duelling Pianos show several times for me. From enquiry to performance, the professionalism was outstanding — and the show itself was brilliant. Book them.
