The Piano Works founders leave the business

Alan Lorrimer, founder of The Piano Works, has left the business.

Alan Lorrimer, founder of The Piano Works, has left the business nine years after starting the live entertainment brand.

Nightcap, the bar group that acquired the audience-requested live music venues earlier this year, has decided to fully integrate The Piano Works’ head office functions into its existing support team, which runs its 44-venue portfolio.

The move will also see co-founder and operations director Tristan Moffat, and chief financial officer Peter Thornton exit the business.

Teams at the two Piano Works venues in Farringdon and Covent Garden, including front- and back-of-house, management and musicians, will continue in their roles.

“Over the past nine years, Tristan and I, along with our excellent Piano Works teams, have created two iconic music venues and a concept that has been loved by millions of loyal and happy guests who have sung along with us and will continue to sing into the future,” says Lorrimer. “It has been an honour and a privilege to have met and worked with so many creative, talented and passionate individuals. We want to say a heartfelt thanks to our teams for all their unwavering dedication, hard work, support and belief. Tristan and I are sad to be leaving The Piano Works, but we leave it in good hands.”
