What is The Piano Works?
The Piano Works is a one-of-a-kind nightlife concept that blends the electric energy of a live concert with the intimacy of a piano bar. It’s London鈥檚 only non-stop live music venue where the audience controls the playlist. Here’s how it works:
Audience Requests the Songs
- Every table is given request slips鈥攁ny song, any genre, any era.
- There鈥檚 no set list. The musicians respond to the audience in real time.
Live Band, No Backing Tracks
- A rotating line-up of talented musicians (starting with duelling pianists and building to a full band) plays everything live, no pre-recorded vocals, no backing tracks.
聽Food, Cocktails & Club Energy
- With dining options, draught beer, cocktails, and table service, it鈥檚 the perfect spot for anything from an after work drink to a big night out
A Proven Hit in London
Since its launch in 2015, The Piano Works has become one of the UK鈥檚 most talked-about music venues. The Farringdon location took root in a converted Victorian warehouse, followed by a Leicester Square venue that opened in 2018 was relocated to Covent Garden in 2023. Nightcap accquired The Piano Works in 2024.
Now, Cardiff becomes the next stop for this audience-powered phenomenon.
