Hi there everyone

Nick here, first of all, a big thank you to everyone who has supported Nick Reeve Music throughout 2008 in all sorts of ways! It’s been a busy year. The new recording studio is up and running and I have been working on some exciting projects and with some fantastic artists (watch out for my new album ‘Treat Yourself’ in early 2009, I am just finishing off the last few songs, this is my journey into the electro pop world… ah yes I miss the 80s).

Pianoman gigs have been going well and I have settled into to my Wednesday and Friday residency at Piano on Kensington High Street. My vantage point behind the piano has provided me with quite a few entertaining sites. A few Fridays ago, Ex-Sugababe, the lovely and beautiful Mutya Buena, was sat at the piano, she had been recording the video to her new single in the bar that day. Her crew hung out during the evening, singing along. The build up to Christmas has seen Piano hitting its maximum potential most evenings as individuals, couples and groups come in and share the festive spirit, in every sense. It is not unusual for me to be playing not only the Pianoman role but also crowd controller. I have had to equip myself with a plethora of one-liners that quickly diffuse the over-amorous who think that the Pianoman is at some speed dating event, to the over-eager who need to be told to get off the furniture which includes some ladies(?) (..and it is just women… sorry girls not a good look) that clamber onto the top of the piano normally after several too many sambuccas.

Every night this year has left a different often lasting impression, overwhelming ly that I love what I do and get a buzz from a quiet intimate night to the monstrous party nights that December has brought. And its not over yet, I am heading there tonight (Friday 19th Dec) who knows what’s in store and then the last night of the year is looming, New Year’s Eve is sold out and looking like a big one, I will report back when I have recovered! Merry Christmas and here’s to a fantastic 2009 where it all starts over again!
