Review Centre: Accompanists

"I first stumbled across Dave one afternoon while walking through Dean Village in Edinburgh. I heard music drifting from under the Dean Bridge and was instantly drawn to it. There he was, playing and singing with such warmth and soul that I stood in awe for quite some time. I took his card that day, never knowing how beautifully our paths would cross again. When my now-husband proposed and we began planning our wedding in Loch Lomond, we knew we wanted Dave to be part of it. He played during our champagne reception, joined by a saxophonist, and created the most magical atmosphere. His infectious smile and genuine warmth shone through his music, captivating not only us but all of our guests. Everyone loved him as much as we did! We’ll treasure those memories forever and know we’ll be inviting him again for future celebrations. Thank you, Dave, for sharing your incredible gift with us."

"Kate played at a 70th birthday garden party. It provided excellent atmospheric background music, and was greatly appreciated by all our guests. All a big success."

"It was an absolute delight to have Dean play at our wedding! He made our wedding ceremony so special, beautifully playing our chosen songs walking down the aisle and then he joined the band to play party tunes into the night! A really talented musician who you can trust to be professional and a really lovely person to have at your wedding too ☺️ "

"Bradley played prior to our wedding ceremony at the OXO2 to welcome our guests and to entertain with upbeat jazz during our drinks reception. He really helped to create a wonderful atmosphere on our special day and so many guests commented on his repertoire. We can't recommend Bradley highly enough. He was super organised, always promptly responding to emails and calls. He liaised with the venue on our behalf and planned ahead very throughly. Bradley helped us source a beautiful baby grand digital piano which added a real touch of class to the venue. He was also able to tailor his repertoire to some of our favourites which meant so much on the day. Bradley exceeded our expectations and he is a really nice gentleman. "

"Jamie was excellent! He played piano during our lawn drinks reception and then inside during our wedding breakfast. He played a mixture of pop, rock and music from films as requested and it was exactly what we'd hoped for. He offered to play for longer which we happily said yes to but we perhaps should have considered costs before squiffily saying yes, but do not regret it as he was great and gave an excellent vibe for the day! Lots of compliments from guests and fantastic communication before and after the event!"

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"Hi Lynden, Thank you so much for playing at our company launch. You managed to be both background and centre-stage, if that makes sense — people were mingling and chatting, but your music anchored the whole vibe of the evening. We’ll be in touch for our Christmas event soon! Cheers, ."
