RB Pianist

Rob received classical piano training initially as a music scholar at Fettes College and later at Bristol University. However, he found his true calling in the songs of the 1940s, jazz, and contemporary popular music. Leveraging his repertoire in these genres and his improvisational skills, Rob has performed at numerous high-profile events, including corporate gatherings, prestigious openings, weddings, and even 90th birthday celebrations. His audiences have included notable figures such as Paloma Faith, Jacqueline Gold, Yotam Ottolenghi, Rick Stein, Gizzi Erskine, Prue Leith, Michel Roux Jnr., Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York, the late HRH Princess Margaret, Natalie Dormer, Mark Carney, and many other distinguished personalities.

Recently, Rob has returned to Edinburgh while continuing to perform in London. His recent engagements include performances at The Balmoral Hotel, Old Dr Bell’s Baths, Glamis Castle, Gilmerton House, Schloss Roxburghe, and Winton Castle. His past UK engagements span prestigious venues like Gleneagles Hotel, The Scottish National Golf Centre, The Savoy, The Ivy, Pizza on the Park Jazz Club, The Dorchester, The Berkeley, The Mandarin Oriental, The Belvedere, Fulham Palace, Wilton Music Hall, Wellington Arch, Ironmonger’s Hall, The Royal Arsenal Woolwich, The Lansdowne Club, Bush Hall, Stationers’ Hall, Brown’s Hotel, Guinevere, Mossiman’s, Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Gray’s Inn (The Hall and Marquee), Artillery Garden of The Honourable Artillery Company, Royal Thames Yacht Club, Kettners, The Sheraton, The Royal Horseguards Hotel, Ascot Racecourse, Silver Fleet Thames Cruise, Forbes House, Northbrook Park in Farnham, The Royal Hospital Chelsea, Salter’s Hall, and Grocers’ Hall.
