The Moneypenny Suite, The Courthouse, Toft Road, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 0PB
Join composer and pianist Adrian Lord, to hear him perform music from his uplifting and joyful Sky Blue Piano album, at The Courthouse in Knutsford, one of the most iconic buildings in South Cheshire.
The concert will take place in the Moneypenny Suite inside the beautifully refurbished former Knutsford Crown Court.
Listen to Adrian’s original piano music, recorded at Crear Studios on the inspirational Scottish west coast, and be the first to hear performances of new unreleased pieces.
The Moneypenny suite is a beautiful and intimate room, but with limited seating. Adrian’s last concert in Knutsford (when he headlined Knutsford Music Festival) was completely sold out, so you are recommended to get tickets in advance using the link below, as soon as you can.
The Courthouse is easy to travel to as it is almost directly opposite Knutsford railway station. Also behind The Courthouse is Booth’s supermarket with free car parking after 6pm.

About Adrian
British pianist and composer Adrian Lord studied at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, and at Colchester Institute’s School of Music.
During his time at Colchester Adrian studied composition with Alan Bullard and Christopher Ball. His piano studies with Martin Hughes, and Robert Bell, led to him winning the Canon Jack award for Piano Performance.
He has spent much of his life writing short piano pieces, and performing them in regular concerts around the United Kingdom. In 2016 he released his debut album “Journey – Twelve Romances for Piano”, reflecting his inspirational journey as a composer which culminated in the recording at Crear, Western Scotland. In March Adrian released his second album “Sky Blue Piano”, a collection of new uplifting pieces.
Adrian finds inspiration from visiting beautiful parts of the world, especially the Scottish Islands, and the English Lake District (where to date he has climbed 95 of the 214 Wainwright fells).
