Welcome

Thank you for visiting my website.

My name is Mark Bettis. I am a Professional Keyboard Player, Vocalist and Music Tutor.

I am based in Kidderminster in the West Midlands and perform throughout the UK. I have also worked in Europe, Scandinavia and aboard luxury cruise liners worldwide.

I pride myself on being very much a live, improvisational musician. I sing while playing piano, keyboard and bass pedals together (organ-style) and very rarely use backing tracks on stage. I work solo or with various line-ups including a jazz duo and function band. I have over thirty years experience playing keyboards solo, in bands, backing cabaret and deputising. I have performed in theatres, hotels, stately homes and ballrooms in the UK and abroad. I have also completed six contracts aboard Royal Caribbean and Princess Luxury Cruise Liners.

I have all my own pro keyboards, backline, 18 channel, 1.5Kw PA, stage lights etc and have a small rig that can be battery powered if needed. I also hold a clean, full UK driving licence and have my own transport.

I offer one-to-one and online music tuition to pupils of all ages. I am DBS checked and have worked in schools for the past ten years as a Peripatetic Music Teacher. I teach piano and keyboard from beginner to intermediate level.

You will also find information on my current work, biography, demo audio, videos and photos.
