"We were delighted to find GARETH at very short notice (48 hours!) when our regular organist fell ill. We were so lucky for he replied positively to our request within 10 minutes confirming he could be available. He liaised with the family and they and we recognise the utter professionality of this man. Together hymns, prelude, a pause for thought musical interlude of Francke's "Panis Angelicus" which wa divinely played. The hymns were so sensitively and appropriately paced to keep them going (so very important in 'Abide with me' !!!! - -and indeed all the hymns) and lead the mourners and their family and friends. I HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH CONFIDENT SINGING totally inspired by this amazing ORGANIST. Gareth concluded the service with a stirring, highly emotionally played "NIMROD" - the WHOLE gathered congregation listened attentively and did not budge until its dramatic conclusion - again, I have NEVER witnessed this at a Funeral and GARETH GILES managed to make our modest Organ sound like a full orchestra with his expressive and deeply sensitive playing. GARETH - thank you so much. You are a lovely man and a complete professional as well as truly the most FABULOUS organist we have ever heard - and I speak for the whole church community as well as passing on sincere thanks from Diane and the whole family who were so grateful and incredibly moved by your uplifting and glorious playing. Gareth you are a complete star We hope to see you again here STUNNING ORGANIST - we so very highly reccomend booking him for any occasion that asks for an experienced, wonderful ORGANIST In true sincerity from ALL of us Beth"

"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. "

"Des played a wonderful selection of music for my parent's diamond wedding anniversary. Aside from being a talented pianist, he was able to provide just the right tone for the mixture of ages among the guests. He is both professional (all set-up well in advance of the party start time) and a pleasure to work with. He helped make the evening memorable for everyone. I highly recommend him."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you from me and Chris. Sorry for getting in touch so late but we have just come back from the honeymoon. Everything in the church was perfect. Thank you again. "

Thank you for your lovely comments Joanna. I really enjoyed playing for your wedding, especially your entrance music 'I'm Kissing You' on the organ. I usually play it on the piano - but it really worked for the organ too. I'm really pleased that it was 'perfect' for you, that is my goal for every wedding! Good luck to you both.

"Arrived well before time. Played excellent background music on piano and sax and was very responsive to requests on music and loudness. A very pleasant chap to work with. "

"Sebastian played at our wedding October 2024 in West Sussex and provided a repertoire of chosen hymns and music for us. His experience, qualifications and background of the organ instrument was the reason why we chose him and we were not disappointed. I would highly recommend him for any type of service requiring a professional organist as his ability to bring happiness and joy to our wedding was appreciated by my husband and I along with our many guests."

"Des has played in our Village church on several occasions now ... including a wedding and services with small and large congregations. His sensitivity and versatility enable him to perfectly meet the musical needs of any occasion. His encouraging and lively style made even a congregation of 14 feel to be part of a larger lively congregation; and his subtle use of his jazz background makes a traditional service sound fresh and exciting. Thanks Des!"

"Mark was amazing, we contacted him with only a few weeks to go, and gave him a bunch of requests for him to play organ and piano solo plus accompanying cello. He had to practice some pieces he’d not come across before, and he totally delivered. He was a wealth of advice of what would work, but equally he listened to what we wanted and went out of his way to make sure we got the music that worked for us. Very accommodating and very accomplished, very glad to have had him there for our big day and to have made his acquaintance. Wish him all the best of luck in future."

"Hey Mark, we just got back from the honeymoon this week, and as things are starting to calm down I've had a little more time to reflect. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on our wedding a couple weeks ago! Your playing was beautiful, the songs sounded amazing and I kept hearing tunes I love throughout the dinner. It was the perfect, classic addition to our special day. You absolutely knocked it out of the park, thank you. I feel so honored that you were a part of our special day! Genuinely, thank you so much for everything. "

"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 "

"Craig played at our wedding ceremony last week and was a wonderful and integral addition to our day; the style was perfect for the occasion and made the ceremony magical for us and all our guests. The set up was great, as Craig was able to be discreet with equipment but the sound filled the room we were in. Having Craig play guests into the room, the entrance and exit songs and then playing guests out was wonderful, he went above and beyond to personalise the music to suit us and our guests and learnt songs specifically for us. The whole event was wonderfully performed without a note missed and it truly wouldn't have been as emotional and special without Craig there. We will be delighted to recommend Craig to all our friends and family to play at any event or social gathering! October 2018"

"What an amazing organist! Words cannot portray the mastery this superb musician has over the multi faceted colours of the organ. A phenomenal technique that is a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you Gareth for the pleasure you bring to so many with your delightful playing."

"Des played at a garden party we had last week. He brought with him a bass player and together they were absolutely perfect, playing their choice of smooth, popular jazz. The music was beautifully delivered and they made such a great accompaniment to the party, the ideal background music to create a warm and swinging atmosphere and a few people couldn't resist a dance. We all loved it, young and old. Des was also highly organised, professional and conscientious. Superb, I would highly recommend Des."
