"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"Dear all of you insanely talented musicians! We just wanted to reach out and say a huge heartfelt from the two of us for your role in our utterly perfect wedding day on Friday. Hearing those first few notes as I walked down the aisle was more wonderful than I could have imagined and it was a true pleasure to hear so many of our favourite songs come to life in string form. Thank you so much for creating the perfect musical background on our special day. We will Never forget it!"

"Vitula really made our day extra special. Hearing them practise and the venue filled with music whilst getting ready was a magical moment for me, and I know my husband loved listening to them whilst waiting at the top of the aisle. All the guests raved about how amazing they sounded! The quartet were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, and they were wonderfully flexible in the face of uncertain weather conditions. Nick in particular has been unbelievably helpful through the planning of our day and even after! I really can’t say enough kind words about them and would recommend them wholly to anyone. They will make your day feel so special. "

"Just to say a big, big thank you for Saturday and your patience while the bride was a little - ahem- late... Apologies for not saying hi, it was all a bit of a whirlwind, but you sounded amazing and everyone said how great you were."

"Alice and I would like to say thank you so much to you and the rest of the team for playing at our wedding. Throughout the whole planning process, Conor’s customer service was flawless! From discussing timings through to the style of music we liked. We received lots of compliments from our guests about how great you all sounded. Our timings didn’t go quite to plan due to traffic but thank you for being flexible. We’ll be sure to book on to one of your candlelight concerts so we can properly enjoy your music without being pulled left right and centre for photos!"

"Hi Anne Thank you! We had the most wonderful day and the duo were fantastic (again!). They played in the beautiful sunshine and they really made the atmosphere. Ourselves, my parents, our guests and the hotel loved having them there and their wonderful music was enjoyed by everyone! I will send over some words to pass on when I’ve got a few minutes. But again, just wonderful! Thank you! Mrs. A. Wynne "

"Absolutely fantastic. Would recommend for anybody wanting to make their special day that much more special! Communication from start to finish was brilliant, everything we requested was accommodated, such a simple process and such a professional and talented quartet of musicians. Every guest commented on how brilliant they were and how much it enhanced the day. Modern, classical, personal and played superbly. Couldn’t have ask for better! Thank you to you all - Jake and Gemma "

"Morag and her team of musicians were exceptional. Communication in the build up to the event and on the evening prior was professional and friendly. The repertoire they were able to play was extensive and they were even willing to learn a new piece of music for the evening which was hugely appreciated. Just brilliant, thank you, Caroline "
