“He eminently plays across all musical styles and was the opening pianist at the Royal Albert Hall at this year’s prom season.

“He has partnered with the virtuoso reeds player Simon Bates at The London Festival of Cabaret. Simon is equally at home, like Harry, playing music across all musical genres and he has performed around the world from the QE2 and Singapore Formula 1, to the Albert Hall with Ronnie Scott’s Allstars, Jamie Callum, John Dankworth and Elvis Costello.

“He, in company with Harry, is a hugely-respected band leader and has been musical director for Bette Midler, Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue.”
