If you are looking for groovy, jazzy, funky, bluesy, all-smokin’ down-home music, then Paul Moran’s Hammond organ could be your starting-point. Inspired by the work of masters such as Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff and Jack McDuff, Paul’s repertoire covers blues, R & B, jazz, soul and funk - superb music which can either set the background atmosphere for the funkiest parties or maybe even bring the foot-tappers right on to the dance floor!
But Paul is more than just a Hammond hero! More sedately, he is also an accomplished pianist, covering the cocktail and jazz repertoire, and is the house pianist at the famous London restaurant, Simpsons in the Strand. Then with his synthesizers and sequencers - Paul has his own recording studio – he can perform classic soul and dance music from Sister Sledge to Stevie Wonder.
Paul is a well-known performer in top jazz and dance venues including the Jazz Café, Ronnie Scott’s, and Sound Republic. His private function work has taken him to the US and Spain as well as to pretty well every top West End hotel including Claridges, The Savoy, The Dorchester and The Grosvenor House Hotel.
As well as appearing solo, Paul can bring in other musicians to fill out the sound and for his “sidemen” Paul draws on the cream of British talent including guitarists Jim Mullen (of Morrissey-Mullen fame) and Tim Cansfield (BeeGees), and tenor sax player Duncan Lamont (BBC radio big band regular and stalwart of the London jazz scene).
Our quoted price is for an organ/guitar duo but other configurations including sax, drums and female vocals can also be supplied. Paul brings his own portable Hammond and PA system and our price is based on his performing for about two hours over a three hour stay.
Price: from £500 for duo
