At home with The Ritz pianist Ian Gomes

The legendary Ritz pianist Ian Gomes

Ian Gomes, the pianist at The Ritz, enjoys a remarkable 60-year career, highlighted by his decade-long association with Frank Sinatra and performances with the late Tony Bennett. Sinatra was captivated by Gomes' piano-playing at The Savoy and personally invited him to perform whenever he was in London. You can imagine the stars he met and played for at those parties! You find him at The Ritz three times a week, always immaculately dressed in a white tuxedo, enchanting guests with melodies from the Great American Songbook. Offstage, he finds joy in the company of his devoted wife Zoe.
