"James was able, at short notice, to pull out all the stops when needed. I had a very quick, positive response to my request for booking his professional musical services. He was able to play both the organ and grand piano at St Paul's Bedford with soft, seemingly effortless quality which was very uplifting for the congregation. Five out of five. Thankyou, Adam B."

"We were let down at the last minuet and lost not only our venue but our music too! I contacted Mark on the Tuesday before our party on the Friday and he was brilliant. I could only hope I had made a good decision. Mark was there when we returned from the church and proceeded to play beautiful music all evening he was truly amazing, everyone really enjoyed him playing, he was versitile, had a huge repertoire, and even played for my daughter to sing. I couldn't have asked for more a truly lovely day. Thankyou "

"Gareth transposed/re-arranged/jazzed up some music for me to play in a soul band at very short notice. The music he produced was spot on despite having no knowledge of the band or how they played - amazing! Thank you."

"Gareth is a very talented and tecnically accomplished musician. He can play across all genres ; classical, jazz, lounge music, singalong, film and show music all to a very high standard. Besides his virtuosity it is what he brings to the occasion in his versatilty, adaptability and own personality that makes him special. He approaches everything with professionalism. From understanding the brief, programming, impressive playing to personal impact. He can be quiet and remain in the background through to being lively and create fun. He is not put off by requests and can adapt and write his own music. I first met Gareth when he was the given accompanianist for me as a singer and I was immediately struck by his sensitive and supportive playing. He then came to play a short concert I arranged for patients at a local hospice. He designed a lovely mixed programme but playing in such situations needs sensitivity to the mood and needs of the listeners, versality as well as virtuosity and the ability to interact with patients and staff. The overwhelming response was "When can Gareth come again". I have already booked a return date."

"I love working with Gareth! He played once again for our Carol Service at St Matthew's on both organ and piano, and was as always totally professional, brilliantly accomplished in his playing and a joy to make music with. I would recommend him unreservedly!"

"Thank you so much for playing for our wedding and helping to make it such a great day. Many people commented on the great choice of music, so thank you for pulling it off in such great style. The addition of your keyboard really did make all the difference, so thank you once again."

Thank you for using me for your special day. I enjoyed playing the little organ for the hymns (it was the smallest organ I have used to date with only 61 keys and 4 stops) I'm glad that the combination of pipe organ and keyboard made all the difference to the music - Walton's Coronation March was a very grand exit for you both! Good luck for the future.

"Dear Gareth, I was delighted with the superb musical accompaniment and support you arranged and gave me, for my mayoral Civic Service at St. Peter's Church, Chertsey. The musical arrangement and organisation for such a high profile event is critical to it's success, and the response I have received with comments pertaining to the music, organ playing and the organ introduction of the trumpeters is full proof that this was achieved at the highest level. I can only express again my sincere thanks and trust that many more will benefit from your exceptional skills and professional talent. I look forward to the next opportunity of us working together. Cllr Derek Cotty Mayor of Runnymede"

"Once again I am almost at a loss to describe what a brilliant musician and performer Gareth is. His concert for us in Surbiton last night was highly entertaining, varied and interesting, and performed with consummate skill. From serious works on the organ via piano duets (accompanying himself on the keyboard!) to a range of wonderful jazz pieces, Gareth showed his versatility and virtuosity throughout. Not only that, but he provided witty and informative introductions which the audience also very much enjoyed. I may have said so before, but don't hesitate to book Gareth - you won't be disappointed!"

"Laurence, thank you so much for playing at George's christening. Not only was your playing excellent but I also really appreciate your patience and adaptability given l didn't give you a huge amount of information beforehand - you certainly made the process very stress free for me and we will certainly use you again in the future should we need anything else playing in the church. "

"Robert really made our party swing, he played exactly what we had asked for, which was great. He has a lovely easy going personality. He arrived on time and set himself up with complete ease and no fuss. Our guests commented on how good his playing was. Would definitely recommend Robert and book him again."
