"We hired Ian for our Christmas lunch/Party for the East Kent Multiple Sclerosis Society and we were certainly not disappointed. Ian was great entertainment, he sang a super range of songs covering a good repertoire in a fun way and interacted very well with our members, which even had them up on their feet dancing! Ian’s fee was very reasonable and he was just a really lovely person. I couldn’t recommend him enough and we will certainly book him again in the future."

"Laura played for my wedding on 07/09/2023 and she honestly made my day. Laura is professional from start to finish, incredible at what she does and is just a general beautiful soul. I requested a specific song that she didn’t know and she was more than happy to get learning it and let me tell you, she did an amazing job. Absolutely incredible. So lovely all round and I would 100% recommend her for your special day! "

"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."

"Lee was extremely professional and played beautifully for our wedding ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast! The communication beforehand was very good, and we worked out when he would be playing and when I would need music played via my iPad. I had asked him to play music from movies, and his selections were spot on. He was also very flexible with the three specific songs I requested for the various parts of the ceremony. Something happened during the processional and the bride's entrance where the songs didn't change as planned; however, I don't blame this on Lee, as the venue had him hidden around a corner where he couldn't see the people coming in. I think if we had touched base right before the ceremony we could have clarified things so that is the only thing that I would recommend for next time. Otherwise, absolutely loved Lee!"

"Louise played at my wedding. She spent time with us beforehand to come up with a play list andbtqlk about different styles. She visited the venue to make sure she had everything she needed and to plan. Her piano playing was so good we had lot sof compliments. We booked her again for a birthday party as well. She even got involved with the karaoke. Highly recommended. Will book again for sure. "

"I invited Gareth to play the organ for us at our 9.15 service having not heard him play before, and I was certainly not disappointed! The congregation and choir were delighted by his playing, with lovely improvisation before the service and a splendid Wesley Choral Song at the end. I had particularly asked Gareth to accompany a special item in the service, a festive Te Deum setting (by a relative of one of our congregation) which hadn't been performed for 60 years. His playing was extremely accurate, sensitive and thoroughly musicianly, with tasteful backing for the 'unaccompanied' choir moments when it was needed! Gareth is a complete pleasure to work with and took time and trouble to consult with me about the anthem weeks in advance. His calm, generous manner and quirky sense of humour made what could have been a stressful service into a breeze. I would not hesitate to ask Gareth to play for us again!"
