"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!"

"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "

"Nigel played at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and wow he was incredible! He played for the service and in the gap before wedding breakfast. Nigel specifically learnt a new song for us and it made the day. He even brought the groom to tears! His playing is beautiful, Nigel is so personable and accommodating. 100% recommend! "

"This really was a last minute booking. I only made contact with Roman the day before we required him but he was a pleasure to deal with and making the necessary arrangements was very easy. Roman is an accomplished musician who judged his audience well and played exactly the right blend of music. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Roman to anybody seeking a very professional piano player for their function."

"We would like to express our gratitude to Nigel for his contribution in helping to make our wedding as magical and perfect as we'd hoped it would be. Nigel's piano playing was outstanding and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Our guests also commented on how impressed they were by his performance. Both ourselves, and our guests, were most impressed not only by his selection of music and how well it was performed; but also by the size of the repertoire and; how he just seemed to effortlessly move from one piece to the next; all off by heart. Nigel is truly a fantastic person and musician, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found the perfect performer for our wedding, in which he played throughout our Ceremony, Drinks Reception and Wedding Breakfast. Sending our best regards and warmest wishes for your future endeavours."

"We employed Nigel to play at our afternoon tea which was a belated wedding reception. Nigel played for two hours while we enjoyed the afternoon tea. We had returned to Furtho Manor Farm where we had married the year before. Nigel's playing was very well received and our guests loved it"

"Very professional, we meet a few times and he knows his job. Not only an excellent pianist and organist but also knows the wedding dynamic and tempos. He will deliver what is needed on the wedding day and will take all your worries. Mark is the pianist/organist you are looking for, period."
