Reviews of Stephen Donoghue Music

Thoroughly enjoyed every moment of tonight's concert. Stephen is a great musician who deserves to be much wider known. He has an incredible talent and whatever he charges for a gig can never be enough.

Stephen is absolutely incredible from booking to communication up until the wedding he just cant be faulted, I would 💯 recommend if you are looking for a sax player for entertainment we booked him for our drinks reception and it just brought an incredible vibe to the day :)

We can't recommend Stephen enough! He played for 30 minutes before and through our Wedding Ceremony, even learning a new song on Cello for the Bride's aisle walk which was amazing and not a dry eye in the room. He then played for another fantastic hour giving us his incredible talent on both Cello and Saxophone and got us in the mood to party. All the guests loved him and commented on him all day. We would highly recommend him to make anyone's day that extra special. He was great to work with in planning our very special day, even building us a set list that got us ready to party from his Cello to Saxophone beats, and even through hard times due to Covid and moving dates, he stayed with us. This guy has amazing talent and i'll be booking him again in the near future.

I couldn't recommend Stephen enough. He is such an incredible performer and really helpful with planning. Stephen played at our 30th birthday party and everyone loved his set, he had the dance floor full and it was such great fun! I booked Stephen for an hours Sax set playing a mix of music. Stephen let me choose the set to fit perfecly with the party and was great at communicating and organising the event. Really talented guy, I will be recommending to everyone and will 100% book again for any future events. Thank you Stephen for such an amazing event.

"Hi Stephen, Just want to commend you on your wonderful performance at my Mother's funeral, it really made such a difference to have music at the graveside, it gave us time to reflect and just be in the moment, without being rushed. You played so meaningfully and with such grace and respect. A wonderful tribute for an amazing lady. Thank you. I wish you well in the future."

"Thank you so much! Your Cello writing really takes "Nostalgia" to the next level. I've had such great feedback from it. I am more than happy to collaborate in the future"

"Stephen saved the day for us! At a short notice (3 hours) we booked Stephen to play a 1 hour set. He soon had us up on our feet with a fantastic mix of current and older music! We couldn't get enough and asked if he could extend his set, which wasn't a problem for him at all! He was that good we've already booked him again and know we will be doing so for a long time to come!"
​- Shannon Butler

"Thank you Stephen for displaying your amazing musical talent at our 'Circle Of Friends' Social Group meeting on the 6 October. In particular the choice of music performed was wonderful. Starting with 'Can't Help Falling In Love' and ending with 'What A Wonderful World' Such a refreshing change and definitely different. It raised our spirits in an uncertain Covid-19 World."

"We hired Stephen to play the cello at our wedding, after hearing him playing in town his eclectic playlist and couldn't have been happier on the day. Our guests all commented on how brilliant he was and he's an absolute gentleman to deal with.
Thank you so much for making our day so special!"
