Rufus is based in London and happy to travel for events.
Rufus Quickenden blends a unique mix of jazz, pop and classical repertoire, able to suit any sort of function. Having such a large repertoire allows the performer to excel in intimate venues, where the audience listens attentively to every note played, as well as to larger groups providing background music to create an aura of sophistication.
After graduating from Leeds College of Music, the performer has played all over the world, including Dubai and on board cruise ships, as well as all over the UK in a wide variety of venues, including but not limited to theatres, 5* hotels, at festivals, in bars and many weddings. He is able to bring along his own equipment, allowing you to turn any venue in to a sophisticated piano bar, even if there is no piano already at the venue.
