Ashley Mason - Piano & Cello Full Description
Experienced wedding musician comfortable in a range of styles, and my performance will be adapted to suit any event - whether you want to hear jazz standards, classical, songs from stage and screen or contemporary pop.
Having played at over 500 weddings over 15 years, I bring a wealth of experience and will work with you to create the perfect playlist for your special day. I am also an experienced church organist and session cellist.
Where a piano is not available at your venue of choice, I am able to bring my own professional stage piano at no extra cost and quotes include this service.
I also represent one half of the Telano Duo, a specialist harp and piano collaboration with Rhianwen Pugh. Please enquire for more details.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Describe your typical process with a couple.
After initial contact and confirming availability, I hold a consultation either in person or via telephone. During this I will get an idea of the overall "feel" of the music. Approximately four weeks before the event I will ask for any definites you want to be played (I am always happy to learn new pieces!) and any that you definitely want me to steer clear of. Any special requests can be made up to three days prior to the event and I will do my best to achieve them.
What makes a romantic first dance?
Gazing into the eyes of the one you love and being completely swept away in the magic of the moment.
What is your number one floor-filler?
The Time Warp!
Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?
I would have loved to have met Freddie Mercury - my idol!
What is the soundtrack to your life?
Anything 'stagey'!
