"The talented pianist James Hall provides a masterful accompaniment, supporting and complementing the singing in a seemingly effortless manner as he weaves through an expansive songbook of memorable melodies."
Fringe Review
"The pianist was exceptional, lending the performance a level of skill and musicality that elevated the show and kept the songs interesting."
[Fabulett 1933] North West End UK
"Hall’s musical input was hugely effective. Expertly delivering the perfect underscore to the accompanying text; this further helped to take the audience back in time, creating the illusion of the proscenium as a window back in time rather than a staged piece of historical acting.

I should just like to thank you very much for accompanying Amanda at her recital on Tuesday. I thought it went very well and her singing came good on the night! Thank you for the help you gave her so that she was able to perform with confidence. I will give your name and details to the Clerk of the Company in case they need a pianist in the future to play or accompany someone. I will also tell anyone I know about you who may be interested in using your services in one form or another. Of course, if Amanda needs a pianist in the future, she will know where to turn!
It was a pleasure to meet you and I hope you enjoyed doing something a little different.
With kind regards, Diana

James Hall's was a skillful and essential element of the success of the show, not only as a confident accompanist, but also in providing the required string of continuity throughout; and successfully blending with his two fellow musicians to provide a cohesive unit that was fully (and at times amusingly) integrated into the show

I have only positive things to say about James. I asked him to help me out a week before my final exam after another accompanist dropped out and James effectively saved the day. He was professional and extremely easy to work and get along with, and is one of the best accompanists I have had the pleasure of working with. Not only is he very talented at piano, but his playing actually enables you to perform at your best. I heartily reccomend using his services!
