Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"‘We had a Christmas party like no other! Due to the pandemic, the whole event was streamed live to our guests. Holly jolly Christmas stepped in with seamless professionalism, despite the fact that this was rather out of the ordinary and probably not what they were used to - they entertained our guests just as energetically as if we were all together in person. We all had a fun time and hope we can get together in person for the next event and see/hear this band in the flesh!"

"Lucy Mayhew was brilliant at today's Smithdown Road Festival, singing at Evil Eye. Some great songs she'd written herself (I liked the powerful, understated "Counterfeit"), as well as some standards, like her encore number the hauntingly beautiful "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Some real talent here. "

"What a performer! Didn't think an acoustic act would have everyone up dancing but he did it with ease"

"We booked Andrew for our wedding reception, from the start, communication was clear, we told him what we wanted and how we would like for it happen and Andrew worked it out himself, there were a couple of songs we wanted him to play on the actual day which he arranged well before the event and played perfectly on the day. Andrew interacted with the guests and kept the atmosphere going. Highly recommended. Thanks Andrew "

"Always a risk when choosing something 'sight unseen. What a surprise package Hollie Marie was! She vowed to get the party started and this she did and some. Great song choices (read the room), brilliant artist and completely engaged with our guests. We can neither thank her or recommend her enough." Favourite moment: Hollie Marie dancing with guests and singing at the same time. David & Karen August 2025"

David went all out and could tell how passionate it he is on delivering a great performance. Thank you so much David and Andy, you made our evening so memorable."

"Gareth could not have been more helpful and professional from our first 'planning' meeting to the very end of his entertaining playing at our reception. He certainly went the extra mile to make sure we had the music we wanted. He played the organ in the Church for the wedding ceremony and then rushed off to the reception and lunch venue to play the piano for our gathering guests. My husband is something of a jazz fan and so got on famously with Gareth and they both seemed to enjoy talking through the music we would have throughout the day - Gershwin, Stan Getz and lots in between. Having music at the reception was perfect - it wasn't at all 'wallpaper' but nor was it intrusive which is a very clever trick to pull off! It lifted the whole event to a new level. Thank you Gareth for helping to make our special day such a success - we were perhaps an unusual couple having a combined age over 150 but that didn't mean we were not keen to have lots of fun and smiles and the music was an important part of making this come true! Catherine Sacré Eassie 10/10"

""The Simon Quartet delighted a capacity audience at the first of our concerts at Lost Gardens of Heligan in January 2017. Mixing excellent originals by pianist Simon and saxophonist/flautist Sarah with a few well known standards - the quartet demonstrated their remarkable individual skills with a rock solid unity of purpose. Percussionist Keith and bassist James, a formidable rhythm section, also shone on some inventive solos. The SQ is certainly at the forefront of contemporary jazz ensembles in Cornwall, offering a special evening of accessible and rewarding jazz.""
