"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"

"We had the pleasure of having Andrew play at our wedding at the end of May. I can honestly say that it was an absolute joy to work with Andrew - right from the beginning he was an incredibly professional and kind person to speak with and graciously learned a number of pieces we had in mind for our ceremony along with our chosen hymns. We received an overwhelming amount of comments on the day and in the weeks that followed with guests asking who ‘the amazing chap playing the piano so beautifully’ was. Our Minister in particular was extremely impressed and commented on Andrew’s talent, professionalism and his ability to make everything flow so perfectly. Having Andrew there added a huge amount to our church wedding - he really was just wonderful. If you are considering booking Andrew, I would absolutely encourage you to do so - I can assure you that you will be very glad you did! Thank you again Andrew, you were everything that we hoped for and more!"

"I have been greatly privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Gareth while he was musical director of several local choirs. He is a highly skilled, talented and dedicated musician, working across the fields of accompaniment, musical direction, concert performance and composing, to name but a few. His empathy and professionalism as a teacher make it a real pleasure to sing with a choir led by him; his humour can deal with the most prima donna style behaviour in a sympathetic, but firm, manner and he challenges choir members to improve the quality of their performance and to learn new work that stretches their ability. He is always encouraging in his comments, even when the choir members know that they have not done as well as they could! His arrangements of songs and, particularly, his own compositions, are always stimulating to learn and perform, and he inspires a genuine love of music in those he teaches or leads. As an accompanist, he is acutely aware of the performer(s) or musician(s) he is working with, assisting them in producing the best performance possible. It is a joy to hear him perform in his own right, both as a pianist and an organist, and his repertoire is extensive. He will play any piece of music that is put in front of him! Thanks to technology, he can even play three pianos at the same time, which provides considerable entertainment. I have attended many concerts given by Gareth, or organised by him, and have never been disappointed at what I have heard or seen. His attention to detail is second to none as is his determination to give of his best, no matter what it is that he is undertaking. I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires a genuinely talented musician. "

"I first heard Marc play at a pub in my town, his voice was so unique and the range of songs he played was fantastic. when he finished his set I asked for his card and asked if he played at weddings. even though my partner had not proposed to me at this point I knew I wanted Marc to sing at my wedding whenever that may be! two years later Marc played at my wedding and he was fantastic!! he performed our first dance song and it was honestly the best version I have ever heard."

"Hi Lynden, I just wanted to say how much your music meant to us all yesterday. Mum loved the saxophone and I know she would’ve been smiling hearing you play some of her favourites. You were so kind and respectful – exactly the tone we needed. You helped turn what could’ve been a heavy day into something genuinely comforting. Warmly, Clare H."

"Miguel did an excellent job setting the mood for the wedding ceremony, playing beautifully crafted arrangements of popular ballads and love songs. The bride and groom were very happy, and all the guests I spoke to said how much his music added to the event. He was a polite and helpful at every stage, a true professional and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended "

"We booked Christian to play at our wedding whilst guests ate and milled about, as we thought he'd be perfect because his repertoire was filled with modern songs done with a jazz twist. We could not have been more thrilled with Christian. Not only was he super communicative leading up to the wedding, but he also allowed us to suggest some songs that he would learn for the big day. On the day Christian was fantastic. Everyone loved the vibe he created and his rendition of Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' went down particularly well! ;) I'd have no hesitation in recommending Christian to anyone wanting a fun, yet classy, pianist to play at their function. Thank you so much! "

"Ben played at a champagne and canapé party for us at Warren House, Kingston, with 100 increasingly noisy friends and family. He got us off to an excellent start, creating atmosphere to add to the ambience of a great venue, and adjusted his playing to the growing cacophony of multitudinous conversations. Ben was punctual and efficient in setting up and gave us good value and great music throughout the evening."

"My daughter wanted ‘You Got The Love’ as her first dance. She found an acoustic version on YouTube and asked Steven Edwards for a copy. We book him to come and play it in person as well as entertain the guests with a splendid collection of cover songs in the garden pre-reception. Fantastic guy."

"We hired Jack as the opening act for our recent festival-themed company anniversary party, and he was outstanding. Jack's voice was fantastic, and our guests were thoroughly impressed. We received numerous compliments on his performance. Highly recommend!"
