on our books who can play a variety of styles. In particular, Jonathan
Watts is equally at home playing classical piano, grand pipe organs
or harpischords. Trained at both Cardiff and Oxford universities
Jonathan can also be found accompanying singers, instrumentalists
and choirs, playing lighter styles of music and directing music
theatre. He has a wealth of experience in weddings both church and
civil.
There is no problem if a piano is not available at the venue as
an electronic piano can be provided.
Comments:
"Jonathan was extremely helpful before the wedding with the
preparations for the music. His performance on the day was superb,
doing a super job of Widor's Toccata on a small church organ. I
would recommend him again and was very pleased with the service
both he and Divertimento provided" S.P. October 2006
