"Jon was an amazing addition to our day, it was a pleasure to have him join us and play throughout our wedding breakfast and ceremony. Everybody has been commenting since, about the songs he played and how they suited the wedding so well. We are honestly so happy with how our wedding went and we could not be more grateful for Jon being a part of making it happen. Jon was on-time, efficient, accommodating and incredibly easy to speak with in the lead up to our wedding. Thank you so much Kayleigh & Shane Churcher"

"Lynden played during our ceremony and drinks reception and honestly, it was one of the highlights of the day. He played “Just the Way You Are” as I walked down the aisle and there wasn’t a dry eye in sight! A kind and calming presence throughout — we couldn’t have asked for more. – Anna & Joe"

"We had booked James Nicholas for the drinks reception of our wedding on 21.10.2022. James Nicholas played a full 2 hour set with no interruption and completely took on board what we had discussed in our initial meeting beforehand. He is wonderfully talented musician, with a fantastic singing voice. So many of our guests had commented to say how good he was and how much they enjoyed his performance. I only wish that myself and my now husband were able to see more of him on the actual day! Would absolutely recommend. He drove a long way for our wedding and we were incredibly grateful. Thanks again!"

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"Gareth usually plays once a month at our church services in Dorking - First Church of Christ, Scientist in Moores Road. He is always prompt, very helpful and communicates well with all our members and visitors. His expertise as a pianist, organist and accompanist is at the highest level. We are extremely grateful to have Gareth as one of our artists and would love to have him play our new Clavinova more often!"

"I love working with Gareth! He played once again for our Carol Service at St Matthew's on both organ and piano, and was as always totally professional, brilliantly accomplished in his playing and a joy to make music with. I would recommend him unreservedly!"

"We just wanted to say thank you for your helping us find and hire Andrew. He did a great job and sounded great. Please let him know how great we (and all our wedding guests) thought he was as I didn’t have a chance to say hello on the day. "

"Chris was wonderful and helped make my Mums 88th birthday special, despite her dementia she sang along to all the songs and having both bagpipes and piano was perfect. I would happily recommend Chris and book him again, he was the perfect choice for me ! Thanks so much you were the star of the show ??"
