"Gareth - dude, main man !! Amazing. Thanks for all the accompaniment of my sax playing ( sorry about the tuning with the soprano sax haha !) This man's rhythm, harmonic interplay and inventive soloing is the 8th wonder of the world. I cannot believe how much my playing improved with a fresh sense of vitality and depth of feeling. Gareth's suggestions for phrasing, forming soloing patterns and dialogue between Sax and Piano were areas where I previously lacked confidence to 'let go' and improvise but once I started playing with him I relaxed safely knowing Gareth as backing trio (crystalline piano runs, stylish bass and rhythmic intensity in chording ALL from 2 hands !......unreal !!!!) was there providing solidity, leads, cues and patterning structures. We made a good duo (or quartet really with what he managed to cover with only 10 figures) and Gareth's feel for Jazz standards is incredible - can switch from Duke Ellington to Neal Hefti to Dave Brubeck in seconds. Cheers G - really enjoyed our sessions and performance and, when I have consolidated all the tricks and manoeuvres you showed me, we must work again. Absolutely amazing accompanist in ALL genres and every way. Thanks Pete the Sax-o !!"

"We booked Rob to play for 2 hours at our wedding reception. Our brief to him was 'background instrumental jazz, funk, soul and pop' which he performed to perfection. He was also punctual, professional, communicative and charming, which really helps when planning an event. An all round absolute pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend booking Rob for your party."

"Perfect backdrop to a dinner for over 30 people. Tom is an excellent pianist and has a great repertoire and is very open to adapting and customising his sets. Talented, reliable and keen to give a good experience, I can highly recommend Tom."

"We hired Nigel to play at our wedding at Shuttleworth House . Nigel played when guests arrived, we chatted to Nigel as to our favourite songs which he would play. I also walked down the aisle to Nigel playing my entry music....it was truly magical. We had the most amazing day made all the better by having Nigel playing and entertaining our guests. We had a number of children at the venue, and part way through a song the children gathered round the piano to which Nigel quickly changed the song to teddy bears picnic....wow! They were made up and so were are guests, what a lovely thing to do. Great communication with Nigel, weddings can be stressful but he was so easy to work with, had great ideas as to what to play and how to move around the rooms. I really couldn’t recommend him high enough!"

"Reliable, proficient, and flexible, Ben is regularly able to tackle an array of requests and requirements from our wide programme of events. His technical skill with a piano is only matched by his triumph on the organ."

"Bradley played for us at our bar opening and drinks reception; he did a wonderful job in giving the room atmosphere and we thoroughly enjoyed the song choices."

"Robert played a lovely selection of music - some of our choosing, some of his and some of the residents' requests. Most popular with the older people were his medley of war-time songs and some Frank Sinatra tunes whereas we marginally younger folk enjoyed the Beatles medley. The organ concert made a very pleasant occupation for a cold, early-winter afternoon. We would highly recommend Robert Baker for such a function and maybe next time we'll invite his wife along to come and sing with/for the residents, too. "

"Our Wedding reception in October. Nigel played in the arrival lounge and then for a couple of hours during food service. It gave a very nice ambience to the evening, and we had many comments as to how good he was, and how nice it was to hear the music in the background, that was not intrusive to their conversations. "

"Tom was a pleasure to work with for our dementia friendly tea party run by students at the Arts University Bournemouth. He was very efficient and came at a great price. He played a lovely jazz set for an hour broken up into 3 x 20 minutes slots and was very well received with excellent feedback on the day. Thanks again Tom!"
