"Des played at a school event, set in an Orchard, I recently attended. The music was perfect for the occasion and created a lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend."

"Mark's input into my daughter's wedding was incredible! He could not have shown more interest or commitment to making their day really special....from an initial visit to discuss and offer advice on their choice of music, then an extra follow up visit to see the two venues involved and familiarise himself with the church organ (he even managed to arrange a rehearsal of 'Ave Maria' with the soloist at the same time!). Mark's repertoire and versatility are amazing. He played beautiful classical music during the civil ceremony on his top of the range keyboard (adding a dramatic blast of organ for Bach's Toccata and Fugue as the newly weds left the room!); then he dashed across to the village church 30minutes later for a blessing and baptism ceremony, where he played the church organ beautifully, including an improvised medley to fill in a delay at the beginning of the service! Then back to the main venue to play jazz and 'easy listening' music throughout the reception and wedding breakfast!! You name it...Mark can play it! We were so relieved to be able to leave all the musical details in his capable hands. He obviously loves music and it shows! "

Thank you for your fantastic feedback Heather. It was a brilliant day, the weather was great and everything went to plan. I enjoyed using all of my skills...........pianist, organist and keyboard player to play all of the styles of music that you required. It certainly was an unforgettable day, and it was a pleasure to perform for such lovely people in a stunning venue, Narborough Hall. Also, thanks to Georgie and her team for making me feel so welcome, and looking after me rushing around everywhere!

"We were incredibly grateful to Shean for stepping in at short notice to accompany the choir and to perform a few organ solos in our Advent concert; he also played for our rehearsal the day before. Shean's communication leading up to the concert could not have been more helpful or prompt, fees were quickly agreed and within budget. Shean was good fun to work with and very professional, both choir and audience thoroughly enjoyed his playing, and we have no hesitation in recommending him."

"I hired Mark to accompany me for a Wedding in Hertfordshire. Mark bought along all the equipment, including a state of the art portable organ complete with surround sound . His skills as an organist and musician were fantastic, he is a pro and was excellent to work alongside . His music sounded fantastic and The Bride and Groom were so impressed they even wanted a photo of him at the end of the Wedding Ceremony. As a singer I felt relaxed and confident that he knew what he was doing which made me feel at ease. I will definitely hire him again for a future event."

"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!"

"Gareth is absolutely amazing! He happily learnt our song requests for our wedding and played so beautifully for our hymns, during the register signing and while our guests were coming in. His style of playing is so brilliant and his music added so much to the ceremony. Can’t recommend enough! "

"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 "

"Sam was excellent, he stepped in at the last minute and helped us out of what would have been an awkward situation for our wedding! His playing was fantastic and he did a great job of playing for the room and incorporating personal touches we had asked him for."

"Gareth usually plays once a month at our church services in Dorking - First Church of Christ, Scientist in Moores Road. He is always prompt, very helpful and communicates well with all our members and visitors. His expertise as a pianist, organist and accompanist is at the highest level. We are extremely grateful to have Gareth as one of our artists and would love to have him play our new Clavinova more often!"

"We used Mark to play the organ at our wedding and he was truly spectacular. Not only did he play the organ but he also played the piano and used his piano to play our entrance music via MP3. He ensured that every single piece of music we loved was played and in the best way. There is nothing Mark is not happy to offer and he truly cares about doing the best for your big day. We were so lucky to have found him to help make our day special. If you need someone for your day, you need to use Mark. He makes everything so easy and perfect for you. Get booking! "

Scarlet, thank you for your lovely remarks. I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your Christmas Wedding in Cambridge, the organ was lovely at the Leys School, enabling me to achieve a lovely cathedral sound during the carols making it even more festive! Thank you for choosing me for your big day. Mark (December 2015)

"Garreth - thank you for your divine organ playing for our service last Sunday. Your leadership of the hymn singing was truly inspiring and the whole congregation was in awe of your extemporisation and voluntaries. Please come again and I cannot recommend Garreth's musicianship highly enough. Thank you again. Dorina"

"Hi Mark, we wanted to say thank you for your wonderful work on the organ on NYE. I'm sorry that we didn't get to say goodbye, as we were rushed off to do the photos. We and our guests thought the music was brilliant and we really appreciate the care you took in preparation and arriving early to set everything up. "

"Mark is, quite simply, exceptional. When we were looking for an organist for our wedding, he was the the most responsive, enthusiastic and engaging of anyone that we contacted. He took great care to ensure that we had the pieces of music that we wanted and he surprised us with his range of musical genres. On the day of the wedding, Mark turned up early and spent a lot of time familiarising himself with the church organ. He also brought his own equipment as a back-up which we thought was a good idea. His performance during the wedding ceremony was faultless and had the whole congregation singing along! We could not have been happier with our choice of Mark as our organist. He is great!"

Thank you Brian and Nicki for such a lovely review, I'm so pleased that the music was so well received by everyone present. We really did have a variety of music didn't we, Vivaldi to Genesis! You were both a pleasure to work with, and I wish you luck with everything that you do in the future. Mark (June 2016)
