"Hi - Gareth played for our wedding at very short notice. He met us for coffee to reassure us and discuss all the options. He was amazing from the get go - a consummate musician and a warm, friendly guy with a wicked sense of humour. After meeting him we were so relieved to have found him and sorted the music. He was totally professional and made our wedding ceremony a very special day to remember. All our guests commented on his virtuosity and sensitive playing as well as dragging the reluctant 'congregation' into singing the hymns powerfully and with an excellent pace. We truly recommend Gareth to any prospective wedding couples - what a guy ! Thanks G"

"Thank you ever so much Mark. You really saved the day for me as I had to search for you last minute and you just came through all the way and calmed my nerves throughout. You did such an amazing job and played the organ so beautifully - everyone commented your music lit up the church. So thank you again for everything. I highly recommend you to anyone :) All the best."

"Mark's repertoire during our wedding breakfast was amazing. We Cannot thank him enough for the musical accompaniment to our special day. He is very warm and friendly, and communication was excellent. Andy and I can't recommend him highly enough - he played our favourite songs on request with gusto and our guests loved every minute! A great addition to our venue at Stratton Court Barn, Oxfordshire."

"Des is an inspiring musician. I've had the pleasure of hearing him play on many occassions. He is a condifident leader and captivates his audience. His encouraging and up beat manner make him a refreshing and easy listening sound. "

"Lester has a fantastic talent. He was very reliable and we felt incredibly confident that the music at our wedding was going to be perfect. He didn’t let us down! Highly recommended. "

"Robert played a lovely selection of music - some of our choosing, some of his and some of the residents' requests. Most popular with the older people were his medley of war-time songs and some Frank Sinatra tunes whereas we marginally younger folk enjoyed the Beatles medley. The organ concert made a very pleasant occupation for a cold, early-winter afternoon. We would highly recommend Robert Baker for such a function and maybe next time we'll invite his wife along to come and sing with/for the residents, too. "

"We hired Sam to play the accordion at my uncles 90th birthday. Sam arrived early and we discussed the plan for the session. Sam has a warming personality and was very flexible in supporting the order of songs to be played. We had a great sing-along and Sam was very entertaining. I would highly recommend Sam"

"Thank you so so much for Saturday! You were incredible. I don’t know if you knew this but when you played before the ceremony, you played a Bollywood tune that was Kyles dads favourite song, and it really meant a lot to him! So thank you so so much Mark, it was perfect x "

"Mark is an extremely talented pianist. Not only does he play beautifully, his ability to work a piece into a ceremony is quite honestly genius."

"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."
