"Gareth played at our wedding in Chiswick on 20th June 2015 and we can't praise him enough. We had a church service with two choirboys, Gareth went through the options with us all and worked with the boys to make them feel comfortable. Gareth not just an accomplished musician but a lovely guy to work with. We highly recommend him. Colm and Rebecca. "

"Mark, I just wanted to say a massive thank you for last Saturday. I’m sorry that I didn’t manage to speak to you on the day but I was very impressed with your piano playing skills. The service went really well and I really enjoyed each hymn you played and the congregation sang each song beautifully. I hope you found your way to the church without any problems. Once again, thank you so much for your services."

"William and Mark , thank you so much for making our Wedding day so special. As a duo you complement each other very well, and together you delivered an all round great experience for us and our guests. Everyone commented on how good you were and would recommend you without hesitation. Mark, playing our piano requests during the wedding breakfast made it very personal, and for you to go to all the trouble of getting the music for 'The Brides Piano' from the original composer just made it that bit extra special and meaningful for us. We look forward to seeing you both and the full band at the Frank Sinatra tribute in Leamington in December."

Thanks for the review John, we had a great day doing the musical honours for you at Foxhill Manor - such a grand setting. It was a pleasure playing the piano for your wedding breakfast, and fulfilling Elaine's dream of playing The Wedding Brides Piano by Roy Todd. By contrast, the evening totally rocked with Rob Thomson (William May) at the helm!

"Thank you so much Mark for the impeccable service you provided at our wedding at Anstey Hall. Booking Mark was simple and the communication was great in the run-up to the wedding to ensure the music was just what we wanted. Nothing was too much trouble and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. Thanks again!"

"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!"

" Last month I was incredibly lucky enough to see Gareth Giles in concert. I am so very glad I saw this wonderful man perform because I now feel for ever changed by my experience of Gareth. From beginning to end I was spellbound – never before have I experienced such energy, style, change of emotions, playful fun, gravitas – all in one afternoon I simply never wanted the performance to end. I was either moved to tears by Nimrod, excited by the powerful Sabre dance, sent to heaven with 'summer time' and stayed for a while with 'The Summer Knows '. I won't be happy until I have bought all Gareth's CDs! ...... And if I start talking about his Gershwin I will never stop typing! Thank you Gareth for this indescribably wonderful experience. God Bless You Helen "

"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!"

"Des is just brilliant. His style of smooth Jazz playing is wonderful and can either be at the forefront of an event or as simple live background music. He is extremely flexible and I have seen hi fit comfortably into such varied situations as Christmas day at church, background music at a networking event and as part of a band at a local festival. Highly recommended."

"We booked Rob and Mark for our wedding reception evening 'do' and are so happy with the decision we made! Rob guided us through their repertoire, was prompt in his replies and gave us suggestions as to what order songs were done in. The evening flowed perfectly and we've had so many positive comments from guests. Lovely touches, such as some word tweaking to make it so very personal. Rob, and his band, just got on with it and are clearly professionals. We'd recommend them to anyone, for any event. There's nothing like brilliant live music!"

"We wanted some background music for our daughters Christening reception, having heard Mark play before, we knew he was what we was looking for. He was fantastic and really completed the mood, an amazingly talented very friendly man. Thank you Mark."

"Gareth helped us achieve a dream. We had discovered a Victorian ancestor had had quite a bit of music published, which we had been able to copy, but not being musicians, we didn't know what to do next. I wanted to have the music recorded as an Xmas present for my husband and found Gareth's details on line. I went to him in early December so it didn't leave much time, but he still managed to learn and record one of the pieces for Colin for Christmas Day, and since then he has recorded all of the music on two CDs for us. From the start he was so helpful and accommodating - meeting with me to look at the music, giving a clear time-scale and cost, and then presenting us with two very professional CDs. His playing is just beautiful, and he explained that as some pieces were songs, he'd had to record the main melody and then dub in the soloist's part on top (that's a non-musical explanation of what I understood Gareth to say!) He went to such lengths to make everything perfect, keeping us regularly informed of how things were going, and his costs were very reasonable for the amount of work involved. If we find any more music, we'll certainly ask him again."

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing at our wedding (November 2015)! Mark was so helpful and professional every time that we dealt with him. He was happy to play all of our crazy requests and did a great job on the day. The music was beautiful and our guests loved it! "

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark

"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."
