Check the video of the event where I played Gary Numan tunes for the launch of an art exhibition at the Lisson Gallery, London in 2010.

I was an exhibit that featured the two artists serving free gin and tonic from the top of the piano whilst I played tunes from the Gary Numan songbook:

Audio recordings from the gig can be found here, including a 12 minute extended version of Are Friends Electric.

Residency at Tapestry, Mortlake

Brazilian restaurant and bar in Mortlake, South London - the Tapestry. I play here most weeks, usually on Friday.

Would be a good opportunity for anyone who wants to hear me play - you can come and just have a drink.

Check the photos below - I'm hoping to add footage soon.

Pianist at Earls Court expo, Summer 2010

2011-07-26T07:07:00.000-07:00

I was called up by BigFoot music agency for a job, to play 6 hours a day, 4 days in a row. That's actually too much playing, but they said I could take long breaks.

There was a grand piano by the bar, lots of free drinks for people talking about their industry.

This showreel starts and finishes with extracts from the gig at Earls Court and includes clips of me playing in a jazz sax / piano duo, and more solo piano in restaurants.

Gig at Royal Albert Hall

2011-07-25T17:10:00.001-07:00

Yes ! But, no - I wasn't really booked or paid. I used to work at the Royal Albert Hall as stage crew and one night in 2005 I think, we had a party where all the staff got 10 minutes to do something, acting, poetry, singing etc..

I got to play with all the spotlights and a grand piano mic'd up through the pa system.

Great experience and it was important to get some photos of it too:

Hello world - this is my first post to this new blog.

Here I will be telling people about the various gigs I do and uploading photos and videos where I can.

My name is Alex and I am a self-taught London based pianist for hire. I play solo piano at weddings and other events and I also put together jazz duos, trios and other combinations of musicians according to what the client wants and to suit the clients' budget.

Some of the greatest musicians in London have performed with me on events like these for very reasonable prices - certainly much cheaper than any agency would charge.

If you are interested in booking me for an event, please contact me on 07837 987755 or email alexwindsormusic@gmail.com.

More information including lots of video and audio clips are available on my websites:
