Worked well with my schedule for my party and were agreeable to my plans but most importantly they played and sang some great songs and got the party going with a great atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend them and would use them again. Book them ! You will not be disappointed"

"The musician was really talented however did not play the music requested so killed the entire vibe of the party. It was a party and we requested upbeat music alongside DJ but she used her own speaker and mellowed tunes... everyone obviously left the dance floor at this point and had to remind her of the request. She struggled with our requirements despite us being very specific on booking and even noted specific times on contract booking, did not fulfil contract and waste of £550"

Dear Hayley Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent event. I take all reviews seriously, as they help me improve my services, and I appreciate the opportunity to address some inaccuracies in your comments. The full fee you paid was £459, I understand that you felt the music selection did not align with the upbeat atmosphere you envisioned. However, I want to clarify that I arrived well-prepared with a curated playlist that included the specific tracks you requested, such as "Rebel Music" and "Ibiza Classics." Additionally, during our initial conversation, I offered to incorporate lively pop songs like "Havana," "Rather Be," and "Cheerleader" to enhance the party vibe. I left out your request to play Andrew Lloyd Webber/Starlight Express as I felt it didn’t align with the style of your event. Regarding the DJ sound levels, these were extremely loud throughout. I strive to maintain an enjoyable volume throughout my performances. While you noted that the dance floor, it was empty upon my arrival and throughout the ibiza classics with DJ last 30 minute set. I appreciated the positive feedback from many guests which indicates we’re enjoying my performances. As the event progressed, I was attentive to your requests, including the unexpected addition of a dhol drummer for the second set. I performed the "Morni" provided the Bollywood track to the DJ and performed alongside the DJ and which successfully energised the dance floor. I also addressed the issue with my electric violin volume being turned down by DJ immediately after he received feedback from guest complaining he couldn’t hear it! The booking was to perform 3x 30 minute sets I stayed on the dance floor except two 15 minute breaks and performed throughout the 2 hour duration. I made repeated requests to the DJ to play "Ibiza Classics," in line with your preferences, and I took swift action to address all requests throughout the night. The DJ consistently played track’s that were impossible for a violinist to play over such as Milkshake by Kelis. My goal is always to create memorable experiences for my clients, and I have consistently received positive feedback for over 20 years !

"Tom recently played at our wedding and we cannot thank him enough, he was extremely helpful when booking with him, he leant new music for our wedding which was a lovely touch and meant a lot to us as the songs were very special to us. He is an extremely talented pianist and really helped set the mood for the day. I remember losing myself to the music a few times during the wedding breakfast. We had lots of comments from our guests about how lovely the music was. We would highly recommend Tom to anyone needing a pianist. Thank you for helping make our day perfect. "

"Becky and Josh accompanied our elopement wedding and their amazing sounds created the backdrop for the afternoon, before, during and after the ceremony. The wedding would not have been the same without them. Not only did they play the perfect soundtrack beautifully they are two of the nicest people you can meet. Made nothing a chore, super helpful and flexible and lovely to have within the very small set of people present on our day. Thank-you!"

"I had been planning our garden party for well over a year, I had the Marquee the food and beer tents sorted just needed entertainment. After a-lot of researching I came across this duo. From first contact with Tom, to actually meeting them on the day of our Party everything went smoothly. The weather tried its best to dampen the mood but with Tom and Bobbi singing their hearts out (and not forgetting DJ’ing) they had the crowd on their feet dancing the night away . Our garden party will be talked about and remembered for a long time. I can honestly say if you want the BEST entertainment for any type of party I highly recommend Beats and Bobs!"
