"Yesterday afternoon at the Limes Country Lodge in Birmingham, I had the great fortune to appear on the same bill as Mr Des George and I am still reeling from his spellbinding performance on the piano. Des must have dedicated his life be able deliver a performance that touched the heart of everybody present. He effortlessly played through the American Songbook, contemporary tunes as well as Christmas classics. I'm telling this man needs hardly any setup time. He merely walks in and reaches the unasailable masterclass of competence within minutes, leaving the audience bound by his magic until long after he plays the final note. Potential bookers Do not hesitate to book Des George. There is no risk whatsoever. Only Joy! :)"

"Mr Giles thank you so much for your beautiful serene music at my late husband's funeral service. You were so accommodating with our wishes for the service and I know it was an odd mix of styles ! Thank you for keeping the hymns moving at a good pace and your empathetic accompaniment of the Pie Jesu. With the finale of the film music you gave a wonderful send off to a loved one and raised many a fond smile. I thoroughly recommend Gareth Giles to you for any service or occasion - a wonderful musician. Thank yo - Janice and family"

"Thank you for providing the backround music for the Pride of Houghton Awards, which took place last night. The evening was a huge success and the Town Mayor, Councillor Laura Ellaway has asked me to pass on her sincere thanks to you. The Mayor particularly requested the songs from the shows and these were very much enjoyed by all. There were many excellent comments about the musical entertainment and the guests that attended the event included the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire and the Mayor's from Luton, Dunstable, Sandy and Flitwick as well as members of the local community. I would like to thank you again for all your support and we hope to work with you again at future events. "

"Goodness me this guy is good! If you want to have passion, enthusiasm, joy and life in your musician, then look no further. Des is an extremely talented musician able to play anything that you can imagine - so if you're worried about genre, then don't. Aside from Des' perfoming abilities he is also thoughtful and dependable. I'd thoroughly recommend him and can honestly say that I've always enjoyed working with him."

"Absolutely fantastic! Gareth was ultra accommodating and truly made our wedding ceremony with his perfect playing. We met him prior to the day and he was so helpful with regard to our music choices. His email correspondence was fabulous and extremely quick. On the day, we had so many comments about Gareth's performance including from our priest who was very impressed and may hopefully book Gareth for a church event in the future! Aside from his general brilliance, he topped my day when he played the Harry Potter theme as we signed the register. It was a tingly moment! We can't recommend Gareth enough. Gareth, thank you so much, we will never forget you"

"Sam brings humour and knowledge of music to his rehearsals with an easy manner which makes learning enjoyable. He is an accomplished musician playing keyboard with great dexterity. I would heartily recommend him in any such capacity. "

"Gareth recently played for my mother's memorial service. He was a complete joy to work with, taking everything we asked him to do within his stride, managing to play quite a wide reportoire beautifully on a not very good organ, incorporating the music mum had written into the service with great feeling and understanding, and even managing to turn 16 people who had never sung together before into a choir in just one rehearsal on the day. His incredible musicality shines through everything he does and it was wonderful to not have to worry at all, knowing that the musical side of things was so beautifully cared for. Could not recommend him highly enough. "

"I have worked with Shean for a number of years and he is extremely organised, talented and reliable. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to you. Not only is Shean a fabulous organist, he is an extremely experienced choir trainer and is very good at booking the best singers for the occasion. When you work with Shean, you will be working with the ultimate professional who is excellent at communication (and quick!) Thank you! "

"Dave, thank you so much. You really helped make my wedding everything I ever imagined it would be. You played 'Dawn' and 'The next Generation' perfectly and everyone commented on how the music really reflected each of our personalities. You and your wife are the most loveliest people and I can't wait for the next opportunity to hear you play again. Highly recommended.."

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."

"Gareth we cannot thank you enough for your amazing playing at our wedding last month. You were so accommodating to all our requests and the advice helped us so much. It was so kind of you to drive for 1.5 hours to meet and chat over coffee and we laughed and had so much fun in that planning meeting. All our family and friends commented on your amazing playing which really made our day special. Thank you for sneaking in 'Beauty and the Beast' into the signing of the registers music...even though the vicar said "no" ! That was so sweet of you and made us smile when we heard 'our tune'!! Any wedding couples MUST book this wonderful, superb musician and incredibly personable witty man His playing is out of this world. Thanks and keep on touch x"
