Band Profile

Oliver was born into a musical family and started playing clarinet aged nine in his school's concert band, touring France and Belgium to much acclaim. Coming to the piano relatively late (aged 13) he soon became involved with other young musicians playing classic swing tracks and pop numbers of the day.

In 1982 Oliver entered "Best Young Pop Pianist" competition and achieved 3rd place at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall, a feat made all the more impressive when one considers he had only been playing for two years.
In 1984 Oliver joined a local group "National Pastime" (on bass and vocals) and supports "Kajagoogoo" on their 1984 "Islands Tour". National Pastime also enjoys success abroad scoring a top twenty hit (10,000 record sales) in Japan as well as successful tours of Japan and Germany. Apparently you can still get the records on eBay! By 1986 musical differences split the band and Oliver returns to what he does best -singing and playing the piano.

By 1995 Oliver reputation is such that he secures coveted residency at London's Ritz Hotel. It is here he hones his craft to near perfection and entertains a whole host of Royalty, stars and celebrities including:

The Queen & Duke of Edinburgh
Prince Charles & Camilla
Brian May
Rod Stewart
Neil Sedaka
Andrew Lloyd Webber
John Cleese
Sean Connery
Madonna
Cliff Richard
Tony & Cherie Blair
:to name but a few!

Since leaving the Ritz in 2002, Oliver's reputation has continued to grow performing at events, weddings, parties and awards ceremonies at venues such as The Savoy, The Dorchester, the Royal Lancaster, Brocket Hall and Claridges to critical acclaim.

He continues to astound audiences with his feather-like touch and soulful voice which have become a trademark of his art. Oliver has one simple rule - if it's a good tune, he'll play it. In one event he can cover Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Wonder, Joel, Manilow, The Beatles, Elvis, the list goes on. Make no mistake, however, there's no room for passengers in Oliver's repertoire. Every tune is a winner.
Now residing in Hampshire Oliver's engagements take him to all parts of the country where he entertains, astounds and spreads joy and happiness in equal measures.
