THREE'S A CROWD | One Inch Punch Music

One Inch Punch ... minus the Drums and Bass! This Piano and Guitar duo punch well above their weight with high energy rhythm parts and vocal harmonies all the way. Fantastic for a Friday Night Sing-a-Long down in your local pub, but equally great in the living room of a packed house party a festival stage or playing acoustic folk and jazz for background music.

They play everything from classic anthems like Born To Run and American Pie, to gentle acoustic folk classics such as The Sounds of Silence and Ed Sheeran's The A Team. Whether its Jazz, Rock, Folk, Blues and Beyond, Drum 'n' Bassless will adapt their set to suit your event. More video and recordings are coming very soon, but you can see more of Daf (solo) as THE PIANO MAN, and you can hear Dave's great playing and singing on the ONE INCH PUNCH page.

I couldn't believe just two of you could get the place rocking like that. It was awesome. Thanks.

Sally & Carl's joint 30th House party

Thanks so much for helping make our party so special. I'm still feeling hoarse from all the singing along. We have recommended you to some other friends of ours so hope to see you again soon!

Jeff & Linda, Christmas party

We had such a fabulous evening. We thought you were just going to do some quiet background stuff – but in your second set everyone was well up for it and the living room floor was packed. Thanks so much, it was great!

What songs do you play?

I am constantly learning new songs and changing set lists. All music and songs are performed from memory. I also design and alter my set lists as I play in order to respond to the mood. If it feels like the mood demands a livelier song, then I'll play one! Here is a guideline of songs I might play for different situations, however they are all interchangeable according to the mood. They are all in my head, so I don't need to spend a long time 'looking them up'! All songs can be performed with or without vocals.

Where do you travel to?

I am based between Portsmouth and Winchester. Travel times of up to an hour and half are quite standard but I'm happy to quote to travel anywhere.
Do we need to provide a piano for you?

No. As you see from the film, I play an electric piano inside a wooden piano 'shell'. You would barely know however from a small distance, and it creates the impression of a lovely small baby grand piano. This means it can be easily transported to your venue and set up in a very small space. It also means that the sound can be put thought a fairly large PA system if required meaning that the music will be easily heard even in larger rooms.
Can we ask you to play our favourite songs and pieces of music?

I'm very happy to learn and play some of your favourite songs. However if an extensive list of new songs and music is requested then an additional 'rehearsal' fee will need to be added.
How long will it take to set up?

Assuming there is good access to the performance area, it should take a maximum of 30 minutes between arrival at the venue and performance. I would always plan to arrive at least one hour before I am required to play.
How loud will it be?

As the sound it going through a PA system, the music can be as loud or as quiet as you require. Usually the music is for atmosphere whilst people are chatting and drinking, so it will not be adjusted accordingly.
Can you play recorded music for dancing later?

Yes I can! The piano and vocals are going through a small but very powerful PA, which can be easily tucked out of sight. If you want a 'disco' later on, The PA is powerful enough for rooms of up to 300 people! You can give me your playlists if you want, or I can play the music through your own device (phone/laptop etc) I also have a range of lights and can bring these too to create great dance-floor atmosphere.
