Review Centre: Specialist Musicians

"It's as hard to record a piano successfully as it is to play it - so firstly well done in selecting such an attractive range of music - so many favourites, all beautifully executed. But also bravo to your sound engineer and the Old Grannary people..... it's a true skill placing microphones in just perfect positions and balancing them so well: so as to create that lovely tone of yours that I have been enjoying so. Not too closely recorded (dry) nor too distantly either (wet). Perfect, undistorted tone. You must be very pleased and thankful - as we are, hearing this terrific recording of your piano playing. All captured here most successfully. Congratulations! "

"I just wanted to say thank you so much for arranging for Philippa to play at our wedding last week. She was amazing. We have had so many lovely comments from our family and friends regarding her music - she really did add a beautiful atmosphere to our special day. I was saying to my mum earlier today that we need to arrange something else so we can have Philippa back to play! It was lovely meeting Philippa, she was both professional and really friendly - a pleasure to have at our wedding."

" I knew from the start of my wedding planning that I wanted to walk down the aisle to the wedding march on the harp! And I’m so glad I found Zoe! She is absolutely amazing and so talented. We had a winter wedding and the harp playing made the ceremony so magical and exactly how I’d imagined. Zoe played before and during our ceremony and we had so many compliments from our guests about how lovely it was. She played both classic and modern songs and all were beautiful. Thankyou Zoe! "

"We scattered my mother's Ashes on the shore of Loch Ness, her final wish was made absolutely perfect with the support of Jason. He played Highland Cathedral, and provided extra music as well. He is utterly professional while also being warm and friendly. We are so thankful as he helped us make a perfect memory. Thoroughly recommend Jason for your special Highland occasions."

"This year we chose Debbie Abbott to provide the evening entertainment for our well-established annual community event and asked her to sing two sets of 45-60 minutes each. She turned up well in advance to fit in around our plans, started and finished singing exactly on time and gave us a couple of extra bonus songs at the end. Debbie has a terrific voice - smooth at times, powerful at others, with clear diction - and the audience of 115 loved every minute. We left the playlist to Debbie with only general guidance only towards 60’s and 70’s music and her song choice was pitched just right for the audience. She asked for and was given a few requests on the night that went down exceptionally well, especially one for a couple who were celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Both Debbie and her husband Peter were very easy to get along with and friendly giving us exactly the vibe we needed for our audience. The sound equipment they brought was amazing allowing Debbie to demonstrate her remarkable vocal talents to the full. Ours is quite a large hall and her voice was clear across the whole area. The audience were truly appreciative of Debbie’s voice and character as can be witnessed by the amount of people crowding the dance floor at times and the many positive comments we have received on Kinglassie Facebook pages. We have already had several requests to ask her to come back again next year. (10 / 10)"

"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire. "

"Simon was amazing! From our initial enquiry, to discussing our wedding requests and helping us choose the music, to checking in with us nearer to our big day. A very professional piper and a delight to work with. We would recommend Simon to anyone looking for a piper."
