I hired Andrew to perform & produce my song Vrondos Molomos. His violin and piano.performance was exceptional and we recorded the song with choir in one take. Andrew is highly qualified and experienced and highly recommended for any event; weddings, concerts, private parties, theatre, and producer to make you a lovely recording or teach you piano or violin :) He also has wellknown musical contacts who are also experts should you want to hire him in an ensemble

What an amazing performance for an amazing day. We hired Andrew for the biggest day of our lives and had many conversations prior to the day in order to make sure everything was spot on. Following his advice on numerous songs for particular parts of the wedding, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our wedding was delayed by nearly an hour due to dress malfunction, but Andrew continued to perform for his audience and even threw in a dance, keeping the audience delighted.

Watching back on videos of the wedding, it is quite clear that despite how important the day was, the quality of Andrews performance just made it even more emotional and really fitting for the day.

I can’t thank him enough for all of his help, constant dialogue with organisation, quality of performance and general pleasantness.

Music apart, Andrew is a very well mannered, polite and understanding individual who every guest warmed to during our day.

Thank you for everything Andrew.

Andrew played the violin at our wedding at The Grove, Watford. He was very calm and collected, friendly yet professional and entertained our guests thoroughly. He is very talented and can play a wide range of Bollywood and western music. He walked us in to our evening reception and wowed guests at our reception. I would definitely recommend him for any wedding.

Andrew played at our son and daughter in laws wedding recently! He is not only hugely talented but accommodated all our requests for the day! And we were delighted with his performance!
He and a colleague were also able to perform ‘singing waiter’ surprise for the evening! As an extra request !

I first heard Andrew's music on a CD my Mum had and I absolutely loved it. He can make his violin sing in a really beautiful and harmonious way that is lovely to listen to. His Romantic Classics CD also seems to put my 7-week-old son in a very good mood!

Reply from Andreas Bollywood, All Styles Violin
Dear Emily, thank you so much for the review. I think music is not just soothing, but also healing and spiritual, which makes it all worthwhile. It would be a pleasure to perform for you sometime or if you would like some more of my c.D's please let me know :) best wishes to all the family, Andreas

We booked Andrew for our wedding reception, from the start, communication was clear, we told him what we wanted and how we would like for it happen and Andrew worked it out himself, there were a couple of songs we wanted him to play on the actual day which he arranged well before the event and played perfectly on the day. Andrew interacted with the guests and kept the atmosphere going.
Highly recommended.
Thanks Andrew

We booked andrew to perform his music on the violin at our drinks reception for our Bedfordshire Business Awards 2017, he was great, a wonderful musician, but not just that he is a great performer. He engaged with the guests and was real talking point at the event. highly reccommend him.

Andrew played at our wedding. He was very passionate about music and paid great attention to details. He was open to music choices and accommodated to suggestions. My guests and ourselves were in the opinion that he did a great job on our big day. His violin repertoires were beautiful. I would recommend Andrew for your functions.

Andreas played at my Son's wedding this summer he was fantastic, He is so professional but also so genuinely nice, we considered him a great friend now, he understands exactly what you want and doesn't disappoint, we had every thing from classical to contemporary, we invited him to stay for the evening and much to everybody's delighted he joined the evening band on stage to preform a couple of numbers which was the iceing on the cake, He is so versatile and clearly enjoys what he does.

Andreas played at our wedding and was Amazing. He played some beautiful classical tunes during our ceremony early on and then some traditional Cypriot music for our party afterwards.
A lot of our guests commented to me how brilliant Andreas was and they really enjoyed his performance.
On a personal level I feel I have made a new friend as Andreas is so friendly genuine and funny.

I ask Andreas to do a surprise performance for someone I really liked it was her birthday on that day I booked a steak house in Holborn we came to the restaurant Andreas was sitting at the back of the restaurant when we had our meal and dessert I texted Andreas that we're ready he put the back ground music on and came up and performed Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee she did not have a clue and loved it this performance was perfect good job Andreas

Ian (Private dinner) 28 Feb 2017

Andrew recently performed for my ex- girlfriend and I at my home over a romantic candle lit dinner. I was trying to win her heart back. The gods conspired against me and sent a severe storm on the evening Andrew was due to travel from London to Brighton cancelling most trains in the process and causing havoc on the motorways. Despite this Andrew made every effort to get here as he knew how important it was too me and somehow he made it here in time. Andrew's mastery of the violin is as intuitive as it is beautiful and he set the tone with the theme from the Godfather. Upon learning that my ex is Hungarian, he played some traditional Hungarian songs that brought tears of joy and laughter to her eyes. She was amazed and It meant so much to me to see her laugh and smile again. A personal highlight for me was when he played Cohen's 'Dance Me To The End of Love'. Andrew can play anything. If there is something he doesn't know (which is rare) he picks it up almost instantly upon the slightest listen. Andrew dressed impeccably, and the really nice thing is that I could tell that Andrew genuinely enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Andrew does not go through the motions, it is clearly more than work for him, it is a passion. It was the most romantic evening my ex and I had ever had together, and we hope to see Andrew again in the near future.

We had Andrew play at our wedding on the 17th December 2016 at Kelham house! He was perfect! Everyone loved his music and Andrew himself! We had a mixture of Christmas and romantic songs and it was just as we had pictured , if not better! We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone!

An amazing and talented violinist.
Enjoyed his performance very much.
Looking forward to your next gig.
Andrew thank you for the music.

Andrew played some pieces at our family member's funeral service. His close acquaintance with the deceased did not deter him from performing in a profound and moving fashion.
Andrew proved to be in tune with his audience. The last piece he played was the music the deceased's father used to sing to her to go to sleep. This was very moving for the family. The music became the back drop to the service and it created a celebratory atmosphere which would have pleased my sister in law who loved life and its inhabitants. Thank you Andrew for your professionalism and support during our difficult time and most of
all your musical talent can never
be under rated. I shall be a fan of yours eternally!

Wow! Andrew was truly amazing! He is both a very talented musician and a great showman. He entertained the guests at our daughter's wedding; during the church ceremony, the garden reception and before the speeches at the wedding breakfast (coming back for an encore!)

The romantic violin and style of music was perfect for my daughter's romantic vintage wedding. Andrew's music created a wonderful quintessential ambience which perfectly complemented the wedding theme. I would certainly recommend Andrew for any event - he certainly impressed all our friends and family. Even our neighbours have commented on the beautiful music wafting over the fields on a glorious sunny afternoon!

Andrew (Andreas) did an amazing job arranging and performing for our wedding and drinks reception in May this year. We had specific requirements regarding song choices and he managed to work with us months prior to put together a fantastic set for the pre-wedding, bridal entrance, signing of the register and drinks reception.
It sounded absolutely beautiful with Andrew on piano accompanied by a cellist (Claire), delivered with first class professionalism. We had many compliments from our family and friends on beautiful the music was and how lovely Andrew and team were.
If you want someone versatile, friendly, with high integrity and professionalism, Andrew is your man!

We invited Andrew to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary and we, and all the guests, were absolutely delighted with all the entertainment throughout our lunch and afternoon gathering. He played the hotel piano , and his violin, bringing all the necessary sound equipment, and was always extremely charming, helpful in organising the event etc, and an excellent musician. We could not have been more pleased with his performance and would warmly recommend him.

We hired Andrew for a large family gathering to celebrate an 80th Birthday. The company was very mixed in ages and tastes but Andrew managed to get a great balance of music that enticed even the most reluctant of guests to dance! He was able to perform discretely with soothing background music when required and then move into a variety of more energetic performances. People were very impressed with his ability to circulate the party whilst simultaneously chatting and playing expertly. He was very good humored and adaptable throughout and suggested a programme of music that fitted the atmosphere perfectly. I would recommend him fully - he really added to the fun and enjoyment of the evening.

We booked Andrew to play the violin at our Wedding at The Churchill Hotel, Portman Square, London W1 on 5th September 2015. We were more than happy with the service he provided. He played his violin during our ceremony and was very helpful when selecting suitable music. He continued to play during the drinks reception and even gave an impromptu solo during a lull during dinner. He is a very talented violinist and is friendly with a charming personality as well as being very reliable and professional. He really made our wedding special.

We booked Andrew to play at our wedding and we are so glad we did. He is a great character and everyone enjoyed the music that was being played, he would encourage everyone to be involved, which our guests didn't need much encouragement to do so! Great experience, great person who I'd recommend for anyone to use. We look forward to our next meeting.

Under a month ago I approached Andrew with a different kind of idea for a proposal, on paper it seemed difficult to pull off. However with Andrews amazing talent it went down like a dream, and couldn't have done it without him.

Andrew played both piano and violin for us, and we were so touched to have someone who can play so beautifully for us on our special day.

We will never forget it thanks to Andrew. Very proffesional musician with great input for ideas to make a special event.

Highly recommended

Tom and I had Andrew play at our wedding on 29th May 2014. Andrew made a huge effort to contact us multiple times prior to our wedding to introduce himself and to get to know the both of us; which meant that he could learn any song requests and meet our desires for our wedding music. On the day of the wedding through his smart attire and astounding talent Andrew created a wonderful atmosphere, playing background music that all could appreciate. Ourselves and the guest at our wedding are still talking about how talented Andrew is; he really is an unbelievably gifted musician. I would recommend Andrew to anyone arranging any event, his music is that that would suit all! Fantastic- 10/10!

We had the most fantastic music played at our Wedding 13th September 2014. Andrew served us proud and engaged beautifully with our guests. The day was made so perfect with having such exquisite violinist being played at our so very special day. We most certainly recommend that having such music made our day perfect. Thank you so much Andrew!

I first heard Andrew playing in kings lynn, his music was faultless and he is the ultimate proffessional. We booked him for our wedding , he played at the church , then at the reception and was such a popular character and his music so enjoyed a guest paid for him to stay the night and he then played at breakfast much to the enjoyment of my wife and I and our guests . I can't thank Andrew enough , proffessional to the end and one of the friendliest people I've ever met.

Andrew played at our wedding in October 2013 at Hellably Hall. All I can say is he was amazing and made the day from start to finsh. He played to our guest whilst they where arriving at the ceremony and then played the music we had chosen for our wedding ceremony it was all amazing. To top the wedding breakfast off andrew got all my guest up doing the Irish jig. Every single guest commented on how fantastic Andrews music was. We can't thank you enough for making our day so special!!!!!

We first heard Andrews ENCHANTING renditions in Canterbury and instantly my future wife agreed the music was just right for our wedding Ceremony & reception at Eastwell Manor Ashford. Problem solved and several cordial conversations later all was efficiently arranged, on our special day he rose to the occasion with aplomb. even the change to an outside last minute Ceremony didn't phase him with such great weather to match his violin, and the mix for the reception later was spot on and enjoyed by all. Andrew is a very talented musician and a man for all occasions Formal or Informal and of course Fun. RECOMMENDED.

Couldn't have asked for a better violin player than Andrew Hubbard! After listening to some sample music on this website I decided to book Andrew for New Years Eve at my restaurant called the Shaad in Congleton. Wasn't too sure about having a violin player for New Years Eve, but Andrew did many extraordinary things that I would not have expected a violinist to do. He made the evening a remarkable evening which customers continue to talk about even today. Playing the violin and getting my Indian dancers on stage was a brilliant idea; best one was the sing alongs which engaged not only my customer but me and my workers too. A person who is well organised, easy to communicate with, but also a jolly and a fun person. Will be booking you in for Valentines Day! Got the poster sorted and Look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much!

Andrew played at the drinks reception of our wedding at the Royal Courts of Justice this summer. We were very impressed with Andrew's performance. All of our guests commented on Andrew and were of the view that the music he played was in keeping with the venue and the theme of the wedding. Andrew was very accommodating when it came to the selection of songs and I was happy with all the samples he sent me. We were so pleased Andrew was able to perform at our wedding and would thoroughly recommend him for any event!

Mum & I were walking outside Eastbourne shopping mall in Autumn 2011 when we heard the beautiful sound of Andrew playing his violin which drew me in. I just had to ask if he would perform at my wedding. Andrew's stunning violin music made mine and my husband's wedding ceremony and reception so romantic. When ever I think of our wedding day, I always hear his violin playing, as that was really what made it so special on the day. Thank you so much again Andrew! You are very talented and we are so grateful to have had you be apart of our special day :)

I first heard Andrew playing in Canterbury 5 years ago, I loved his music and bought a c d.
We feel very privileged to have had him play for us at our wedding at Leeds Castle May 2011, Andrew made the occasion even more special. He is a very talented musician, We would recommend Andrew for anyone's special day.

My mother in law's celebration of life event was complimented by everyone who came along, Andrew and the singer he worked with, Richard Stark, contributed hugely to this. Andrew tackled a truly eclectic series of pieces with verve on the piano, and also added hugely to the reception afterwards with a series of pieces on his violin that really hit the spot with the varied set of people who were there.
