Duelling Pianos
We hired PianoFactor for our wedding and have no hesitation in recommending them. They did a really great job.
Looking to hire a piano entertainer in Cambridge who can do more than play background music? PianoFactor delivers live, interactive piano entertainment designed to get guests involved, singing along and enjoying the moment.
Our piano entertainers don’t hide on a stage or stick to a rigid setlist. We perform right in the room, take live requests, lead the big choruses and adapt in real time to the energy of your guests.
From college dinners and corporate events to wedding receptions and private parties across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire, you get a confident performer, a fully self-contained setup, and an atmosphere that builds naturally throughout the night.
The Pop-Up Piano Bar is the most popular choice for clients looking to hire a piano entertainer. The setup is compact, fully self-contained and designed to sit right in the heart of your event — not on a stage. Guests naturally gather around the piano, requests flow easily, and the atmosphere builds organically from the very first song, creating a relaxed yet high-energy piano bar experience that feels spontaneous and personal.
The One Piano Show delivers a bigger, more powerful sound while keeping the focus firmly on interaction and personality. Built around piano and live drums, with optional saxophone or guitar, the show combines strong musical drive with direct audience connection. It’s ideal when you want high energy, flexibility and a performance that can scale naturally with the room and the crowd.
Duelling Pianos takes everything people love about interactive piano entertainment and turns it up to full scale. Two piano entertainers perform side by side, supported by live drums and optional saxophone or guitar, driving constant audience interaction and fast-paced musical exchanges. The result is a high-energy, room-filling experience built for larger events where maximum impact and collective sing-along moments really matter.
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 performing the right songs to bring the event to life.

Our piano entertainment setup is compact, fully self-contained and designed to be practical. We arrive early, set up cleanly, and keep everything tidy so the focus stays on the experience rather than logistics.
We regularly perform across Cambridge and surrounding areas including the city centre, Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, Newnham, Chesterton, Grantchester, Girton, Histon, Ely, Newmarket, Royston and St Neots.
If you already have a venue in mind, the quickest next step is to check availability and pricing using our online quote tool.

We provide the piano entertainers, baby grand pianos, professional sound system and lighting, music for the breaks, request slips and pens, full setup and breakdown, and the live performance itself as standard. The show is fully self-contained and designed to slot straight into your event without unnecessary complexity.

Yes. PianoFactor performances are designed to work across a wide range of events and spaces — from weddings and private parties to corporate events, venues and large-scale public functions.
Because the setup is self-contained and flexible, it can be positioned in venues and rooms where traditional bands or staged acts wouldn’t work. The entertainer adapts the performance style, energy and interaction to suit the event, the guests and the environment on the night.
Whether you’re hosting an intimate celebration or a high-energy event with hundreds of guests, the focus is always the same: creating the right atmosphere for the room and keeping people engaged from start to finish.
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 entertainer reads the room, gauges how engaged people want to be, and builds participation at the right pace for the event.
PianoFactor Piano Entertainer setups are compact and designed to work in a wide range of venues.
For the Pop-Up Piano Bar, a clear area of approximately 2m × 2m is typically sufficient to accommodate the baby grand piano and sound equipment. This allows the performer to work comfortably while keeping the setup contained and unobtrusive within the room.
The setup is fully self-contained and professionally planned, with positioning chosen to ensure clear sound, safe, tidy cabling and minimal impact on guest movement. If your venue has limited space or an unusual layout, we’re always happy to advise in advance to ensure everything works 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 using our Availability Tool and provides a clear next step with no obligation.
