About Me

Myspace Layouts by Pimp-My-Profile.com

Hi there! I'm Scott Bramley, and since 2003 I've been performing professionally as a pianist / vocalist. I spent two years at sea on cruise ships playing in the piano bar, taking requests.....singing 'Piano Man' more times than I care to remember (still love that song though)! Since returning to the UK in 2006 I've been playing solo in venues across the country, and currently hold residencies at Choice Bar and Restaurant in Manchester and The Sands Venue in Gainsborough, where I've had the honour to support some fantastic artists including Acker Bilk, Stacey Kent, Nicola Farnon... oh, and Keith Harris and Orville!I lead the Scott Bramley Trio specialising in swing and jazz standards as well as the very best in piano based rock and pop from artists including Elton John and Billy Joel.I'm currently in the process of writing my own material so watch this space!I love all sorts of music including jazz, rock, pop, latin, folk, country, classical....anything really, although I do have rather an irrational disliking of Handel which I don't care to discuss at this juncture...oh, and Hammond organ music - not really my thing....but anything else!For more information please visit my website at www.scottbramley.co.uk
