Mark is one of the best solo artist we have ever seen and would defiantly book him again. Also a really nice guy thanks again Mark. Julie & rob"

"Gareth Giles is a SUPERB organist who led our service recently with aplomb and at very short notice ! Gareth your choice of tempi, colorful registrations and amazing harmonies for the last verses (! Bairstow, eat your heart out !) coupled with a superb empathy for the poetic flow of the hymnody truly inspired our congregation to sing confidently and rhythmically. Many members commented on your wonderful extemporisation facility before and during the service and your Rheinberger postlude at the conclusion of the worship was incredible. We have never before heard the organ played with such power, dynamism and virtuosity. You are a truly gifted Church Musician and we look forward to seeing you again at some point. Thank you again from the whole community, here. "

"Thankyou so very much - you made our day extra special with your beautiful playing at the christening. So many of our guests have sent such lovely comments, one couple thought we had booked a Harpist especially because she is Harper! I said but of course! Many many thanks and such a pleasure to meet you."

"Louise played during our welcome drinks at our wedding reception at the Old Vicarage. She listened to our ideas and adapted what she played to suit our tastes. Everyone enjoyed listening to her play and it added to the ambience of the venue and the day. Thank you Louise."

"Will exceeded all expectations and performed with more passion and soul than a professional 'old timer.' He played a lively mix as our guests arrived and a beautiful piece from The Nutcracker for the Bridal entrance. He is a great chap and I would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Having already seen Ruth play the harp in a number of concerts and performances in Newcastle, Lancaster and the Lake District, we couldn’t believe our luck when she offered to play at our wedding in the South of France. We cannot recommend Ruth highly enough, she is very professional and a delight to have around. All of our guests commented on her wonderful playing. Ruth’s music created a heavenly atmosphere in the 13th century chapel that we were married in, and also afterwards for the reception drinks in a nearby chateau. I still get butterflies when I think about how beautiful Ruth made Handel’s Passacallia sound while I was walking down the aisle. She also adapted some of our favourite songs to play while we were signing the register which made it really personal. We felt truly blessed to have such an accomplished harpist and such a beautiful person playing at our wedding and she made the day even more special. "

"Gareth helped us achieve a dream. We had discovered a Victorian ancestor had had quite a bit of music published, which we had been able to copy, but not being musicians, we didn't know what to do next. I wanted to have the music recorded as an Xmas present for my husband and found Gareth's details on line. I went to him in early December so it didn't leave much time, but he still managed to learn and record one of the pieces for Colin for Christmas Day, and since then he has recorded all of the music on two CDs for us. From the start he was so helpful and accommodating - meeting with me to look at the music, giving a clear time-scale and cost, and then presenting us with two very professional CDs. His playing is just beautiful, and he explained that as some pieces were songs, he'd had to record the main melody and then dub in the soloist's part on top (that's a non-musical explanation of what I understood Gareth to say!) He went to such lengths to make everything perfect, keeping us regularly informed of how things were going, and his costs were very reasonable for the amount of work involved. If we find any more music, we'll certainly ask him again."

"Neil and I would like to thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Although we only heard a short part of your repertoire, we were so impressed with your playing. Other guests have told us how wonderful you were. Special thanks for learning the pieces that we had requested. That added so much to the occasion. I hope that you will add some of them to your repertoire. You were superb!"

"Will played beautifully at Examiners’ Cocktail Party in July. He gauged just the right level of sound and helped create a wonderful atmosphere in our enclosed courtyard for our guests at a canapé and drinks reception, who numbered around 90. The set he played was seamless and the tone and style of music perfect. Will was well presented, in perfect time and was so polite and easy to liaise with. I can highly recommend him!"

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you and relay everyone's positive comments. You were absolutely brilliant on the day, in terms of your playing and also your presence which was calm and professional. I am so pleased that my lasting memories of hearing you play are of the two pieces you played for my entry and our exit. Thanks once again - you really helped make our ceremony and drinks reception exactly what we wanted it to be. "

"Just to say thank you so very much for playing so beautifully at our wedding on Saturday. I’m just sorry I didn’t get the chance to say hello, the ceremony bit whizzed by and then it seemed we were whisked here, there and everywhere! Thoroughly enjoyable though. Thanks again, your music made it just a bit more special."
