The show is built around well-known songs, packed dancefloors and a lively atmosphere that keeps guests involved throughout the night.

Yes. Our Party Band format is designed to work across a wide range of events and venues — from weddings and private parties to corporate events and larger public functions.

With a vast repertoire of songs, the band adapts easily to suit different audiences and events.

Interaction sits at the heart of every PianoFactor performance, but it’s always professionally led and instinctively judged.

Guests are encouraged to make requests, sing along and get involved naturally, without any obvious pressure. The frontman reads the room, gauges how engaged people want to be, and builds participation at the right pace for the event.

PianoFactor party band setups are compact and designed to work in a wide range of venues.

For the Party Piano Band, a clear area of approximately 3.5m x 2.5m is typically sufficient. This allows us to work comfortably while keeping the setup contained and unobtrusive within the room.

Every setup is carefully planned to ensure excellent sound, a clean professional look, and safe, tidy cabling with minimal impact on guest movement. If your venue has limited space or an unusual layout, we’re always happy to advise in advance so everything runs smoothly on the day.

Availability varies depending on the time of year, location and event type, but popular dates — particularly weekends and peak seasons — tend to book up well in advance.

That said, PianoFactor regularly accommodates both early planners and last-minute bookings where availability allows. Because the setup is self-contained and professionally managed, we’re able to respond quickly once details are confirmed.

The best way to secure your date is to check availability online, which takes just a few seconds. Just tap on “Check a Date“ in the navigation bar to get an instant availability.

Every PianoFactor booking in London includes a professional live piano performance, whether you’re booking Pop-Up Piano Bar, Party Piano Band or Duelling Pianos.

As standard, your booking includes:

• Baby grand piano(s)
• Up to three 45-minute live performance sets
• Upbeat music played between live sets
• Request slips and pens for audience participation
• PAT-tested equipment and public liability insurance

We also manage the performance from arrival through to pack-down, ensuring everything runs smoothly and allowing you to focus on enjoying your event.

For events taking place in London, the sound system and lighting are not included as standard.

This reflects the practical logistics of working within London - using venue-supplied or locally hired sound and lighting is often the most efficient and practical approach.

As a general rule, yes. For London events, sound and lighting are not included as standard.

This approach reflects how venues operate across the city and is based on long-standing experience of the access, loading, and logistical challenges that commonly arise — even at venues that appear straightforward in advance.

In some locations with more practical access and loading arrangements, we may be able to assess the venue and advise whether providing sound and lighting ourselves is appropriate.

We’ll always confirm what applies once the venue location is known and clearly explain the most suitable setup for your event.

Many London venues present unique access and logistical challenges, particularly in central areas. Traffic, limited or restricted parking, security procedures, and long distances between vehicle access points and event spaces can all add significant time and complexity to loading and setup.

In these situations, transporting and installing production equipment can require additional crew and extended setup times, often adding complexity and cost without improving the quality of the performance itself.

For this reason, working with venue-supplied or locally hired sound and lighting is often the most efficient and cost-effective approach for London events.

Not at all — the performance itself is exactly the same. The PianoFactor experience, energy, and interaction are not affected by how sound and lighting are provided.

Using venue-supplied or locally hired production simply allows the technical setup to be handled in the most efficient way for the space, while we focus entirely on delivering a polished, high-energy live piano performance.

No — we’re happy to handle this for you, or work with arrangements already in place at your venue.

If you’d like us to manage sound and lighting, we can arrange trusted local AV suppliers and add this to your quote if required. Alternatively, if your venue provides production or you have a preferred supplier, we’ll liaise with them directly and provide clear technical guidance.

Either way, we make sure everything is coordinated in advance so there’s no extra work or stress for you on the day.

In many cases, yes. If your venue already has an in-house sound system, this can often be used for the performance, provided it’s suitable for your chosen PianoFactor Act.

We’ll check the system specifications in advance and liaise with the venue or their technical team to confirm it meets our requirements.

If the existing system isn’t suitable, we’ll advise on the most practical alternative and help ensure the right setup is in place for the event.

We’re happy to deal directly with your venue or technical team, so there’s very little for you to organise.

We usually just need some basic practical details to plan the setup and ensure everything runs smoothly, such as access arrangements and whether sound and lighting are already in place.

Where relevant, we’ll also confirm any technical details needed to support your chosen act.
