“A huge thanks to Mark Deeks for putting together my show ‘Stepping Out’. A pleasure to work with and looking forward to working together again in the near future!” (Faye Tozer, Steps)

Mark has played piano for more than 30 years, building up a wealth of experience as a performer, arranger, musical director, and lecturer, winning the North of England Wedding Award in Music and Entertainment in 2013. His client list has included celebrities such as Faye Tozer, David Miliband, Alfie Joey, Anna Foster, Steve Harper, Jack Colback, and Lenny Henry.

Mark is the MD of the Echo pop choirs in Newcastle and Leeds, and Take Note Community Choir in Whickham, as well as being the Assistant MD for the Inspiration UK choir, based at The Sage Gateshead and Opera North in Leeds. He was asked by BBC Newcastle to MD their NorthEast Christmas Choir in 2015, and in 2013 and again in 2014, by Magic Radio to MD their Magic Choir in aid of the Cash for Kids Campaign. He has also previously been commissioned by Euro Disney to provide some arrangements for the Christmas Choral Festival, whilst in 2011 he co-wrote and starred in ‘Monopolise’ a comedy musical by the BBC’s Alfie Joey.

Mark Deeks has performed extensively throughout the UK, and on tours to New York, Edinburgh and Paris with the Inspiration UK choir. ‘ Safesake‘, his album of folk-influenced, acoustic songs was released in 2010.
