"Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your beautiful piano playing at our wedding on the 25th March. I had to take a moment to compose myself walking down the stairs with my dad to Wong – Romantic Cannon in D, it was bringing a tear to my eye… Beautiful, and we really enjoyed Sam Smith during the signing; I know from my guests that they loved Shrek... many of them commented that they knew the tune but couldn’t quite place it - just what I was after. My whole farming family loved All Creatures Great and Small …. Thank you so much for repeating during the drinks! Thanks again for creating a beautiful atmosphere that contributed to our perfect day, and I am only disappointed that I didn’t get the chance to meet you and thank you in person."

"Bexley Civic Society held their 50th Anniversary celebration at Brocket Hall recently and we were entertained during dinner by Michael. His choice of music for our group was perfect, Gershwin, Porter etc. The applause he received from the 100 plus guests was a genuine tribute to his playing. We have no hesitation in recommending him"

"We booked Rob to play for 2 hours at our wedding reception. Our brief to him was 'background instrumental jazz, funk, soul and pop' which he performed to perfection. He was also punctual, professional, communicative and charming, which really helps when planning an event. An all round absolute pleasure to deal with. We would highly recommend booking Rob for your party."

"Dan made our evening very special with an abundance of meaningful and incredibly played songs! All were unbelievably impressed with his talent and loved it, even our Nana making a spontaneous request which he played immediately. Will certainly be looking to book Dan again in the future! "

"Couldn't recommend Jan more! He was brilliant. Communication on the lead up to our party was fantastic. He got our wedding party going, guest loved him - dance floor wasn't empty when he was on. He was amazing! We will definitely book him again in the future and I think a few of our guests will be doing. Couldn't recommend him anymore! Thank you so much Jan😊"

"When Len Crawley is not wearing his other cap as one-quarter of the Barron Knights he provides a terrific night of entertainment with his one-man show. Len certainly knows his stuff. He started playing music when he was still at school beginning as a drummer and progressing to keyboards and has some fabulous stories to tell about his early days in the music business, working with Tom Jones, Elton John and a little-known band in the early sixties called the Beatles! At the Royal British Legion club they love Len for his well-chosen mix of glorious instrumentals, great melodies from the American Songbook and lively dance numbers. Handling everything with consummate ease Len has a relaxed, laid-back style that appeals to regulars at this Potters Bar venue who invite him back time after time. Len eased into his show with a beautiful rendition of the haunting instrumental Cavatina and a jazzy working of George Shearing's Lullaby Of Birdland. Songs made famous by Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Nat 'King' Cole and Tony Bennett followed and they attracted the dancers indicating that Len knows his audiences well and has a clear idea what type of material will fill the dancefloor. I liked the way he slotted in instrumentals like Booker T's "Green Onions", the theme from "Midnight Cowboy", and Percy Faith's "Theme From A Summer Place" to break up nicely the vocal numbers and it appeared there was no end to Len's talents as he demonstrated his highly skilled harmonica playing in songs like "Isn't She Lovely". Unlike some performers, Len was happy to cater for all requests and he made one Sally present a very happy lady with a surprisingly rocking version of Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally" and two of Buddy Holly's hits, "Raining In My Heart" and "True Love Ways" were particularly well received, as was the reggae number, "Kingston Town" (complete with steel drum effects) and the uptempo Van Morrison hit "Bright Side Of The Road". Other high spots for me were a lovely mix of Booker T's "Soul Limbo" plus "Yellow Bird" and the subtle interpretation of the Adele/Bob Dylan hit "Make You Feel My Love", in which he showed the quality of his soothing voice. Just one suggestion Len - it would be nice to hear some of those anecdotes during the show. Len Crawley is the ideal one-man band and club organisers and people booking private parties would do well to snap him up. "

"Adrian stepped in for my MD and he was a total delight to work with. My shows cover literally every genre of music and nothing was too hard and no genre was a challenge for Adrian. I look forward to working with Adrian again."

"Nigel played piano during the ceremony for a wedding I organised at the Barns Hotel in Bedford. Nigel's playing was absolutely beautiful, helping to create a magical atmosphere for such a special part of the day. Nigel himself was wonderful to deal with and played all our song choices perfectly."

"5 Star Google Review: From the moment we contacted Nigel he was nothing but helpful! He responded quickly to emails with a warm, welcoming approach. We shared our thoughts over email and then video called him to finalise the genres we liked and highlight the types of songs we wanted. The venue we had chosen had quite strict rules in regards to amplified music. Nigel was more than happy to liaise with our wedding planner which put as at ease. We also really appreciated his questionnaire that asked what our colour scheme was and what suits the groomsmen would be wearing. we really liked that he puts thought into not clashing or matching them. Guests don’t even think of this at times, so thanks Nigel :)! On the day Nigel played the venue’s piano and his own mobile one. It was so beautiful to have him there. Our guests loved listening to his music during our drinks reception. Nigel you’re a wonderful person. Your approachable and kind nature added a lovely stress free aspect to our planning process. We’re so pleased we chose to have you with us on your special day X"
