The act
Wedding dinner is where Justin Stock's piano and voice can shape the mood while remaining adaptable to speeches and changes in timing. His wide repertoire reaches from the fifties to current songs and draws on influences including Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel. A professional stage presence and real pride in the work sit behind that flexibility. His standard format uses three 45 minute sets, with flexibility to extend or spread them across the proceedings. This should suit couples who want experienced piano led entertainment with the confidence to follow the wedding rather than disrupt it.

Good to know
What to expect
Thirty years of piano and vocals behind it, and the practical effect is that Justin Stock is easy to have at your event. He knows what's required, he takes pride in doing it properly, and when the timing shifts, as it always does, he adapts without fuss. There's a real stage presence to the performance too. He brings a professional standard keyboard, or plays your acoustic piano if the venue has one worth using.
On the day
Around two hours for setup is ideal, and for some events the earlier the better. Forty five minutes is the least he can work with. The performance area needs to be about 1.5 by 2.5 metres, which covers the PA and lights as well. Beyond that: power, either a wall point or an extension lead, and a clean, level, dry patch that's out of the way of foot traffic. Covered, if you're outdoors.
Performance options
The default is three 45 minute sets. That can stretch to longer sets or more of them, or the sets can be spread further apart to sit around speeches, and delays on the night are easy enough to absorb. The repertoire is past 600 songs, running from the 50s to now, weighted towards pop covers, jazz, soul and funk.
