"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."

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."

"Des was brilliant and listened to our ideas. We wanted a more modern feel to the music played during signing of the Registers and Des gave a list of suitable pieces. He even purchased the music to Elbow One Day Like This. Des slogged his electric piano into Church to get the full effect. He played the traditional hymns on the Church organ. We highly recommend him."

"The Kentwood Choir has used Mark as a synth player for many years. As a member of the choir, I can certain vouch for Mark's skill and professionalism - an outstanding musician that truly adds a certain magic to our performances, in particular to large audiences at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. If you're looking for a great musician, look no further!"

Thanks for your lovely feedback Will, I've been playing for Kentwood for 21 years now. I always look forward to the shows and 'orchestrating' the band - and it's always great to play in the Wyvern Theatre.

"A wonderful array of beautifully performed pieces. He can play anything from Bond themes and the classics to current rock and pop. Why this man is not playing sell out concerts internationally is a mystery. Book him while you can!"

"Mark, I just wanted to thank you for playing the organ so well yesterday at Mum’s funeral. It meant a lot to us, and many people complimented you at the Wake. Everything went so smoothly, which was so important to us! Thank you again."

"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."

"Gareth we cannot thank you enough for your amazing playing at our wedding last month. You were so accommodating to all our requests and the advice helped us so much. It was so kind of you to drive for 1.5 hours to meet and chat over coffee and we laughed and had so much fun in that planning meeting. All our family and friends commented on your amazing playing which really made our day special. Thank you for sneaking in 'Beauty and the Beast' into the signing of the registers music...even though the vicar said "no" ! That was so sweet of you and made us smile when we heard 'our tune'!! Any wedding couples MUST book this wonderful, superb musician and incredibly personable witty man His playing is out of this world. Thanks and keep on touch x"

"Dear Mark, thank you so much for your lovely music at my Mum's funeral on the 18th of July. The congregation and family all appreciated it greatly, it was a fitting tribute. My only regret was that we only heard a little of the 'Lark Ascending' the request for the undertaker to wait a few minutes at the end didn't work out. However, thank you again from all the family, the organ sounded amazing."
