"We spent most of our evenings in the Lookout Bar, with the excellent Stratford and Borrell, a duo with a seemingly endless and varied repertoire, virtually everything except opera and rap. Very capable musicians with Paula on flute and sax and Mark on guitar and vocals. Their rendition of Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street will be a long-standing memory of our first cruise. Paula's saxophone is a tremendous experience. Thanks guys."

"Just returned from the show at Stamford this evening 22 Nov. Outstanding musical ability, total enthusiasm and hard work, which produced a sound which defied any attempt to keep your hands or feet from moving! They love their music and it showed. It was an superb evening and I will be back."

"Ruth played for the ceremony part of our wedding back in spring. Hearing Ruth play while I was waiting to walk down the aisle after my bridesmaids, my nervousness went and was replaced with excitement. Many of our guests commented how it was such a lovely touch to have the harp. Even my husband who was originally a bit sceptical about having a harpist for the ceremony thought that it was beautiful and added something special. Ruth is friendly, professional, and open to requests. We can highly recommend Ruth!"

"Professional, dignified, and compassionate. We couldn’t have asked for more. Our family are still talking about Simon and his beautiful piping a month after dad's funeral. "

"Thank you so much Em Strings for providing these very talented musicians. There was 100+ people in the Church congregation, all of whom commented individually on how they enjoyed the classical performance, and how beautiful and graceful the musicians were. The ensemble set the scene beautifully and yes - the was everything and more I had dreamed of as a bride, they definitely fulfilled my heart's desire to make it a beautiful church wedding ceremony, very fitting for that period church. I pray that I will be able to enjoy that ensemble again over the years with more celebrations. Thank you again for such a breathtaking and awe inspiring performance. "

"Just a quick email of thanks on behalf of everyone that attended the Burns Night at. You definitely helped make the evening the event it needed to be and I know Steve got a kick out of using your dagger to cut the haggis rather than having to use a chef’s knife"

"Hi I had Lisa play for us at our wedding in December '13. She is an amazingly talented musician and very easy to work with when organising the music for the church and reception. We had some ideas of our own and Lisa was able to play the songs we requested as well as recommending a few more that beautiful on the day. She incorporated the harp and banjo into our requested songs and she has a voice that has to be heard to be believed! Lisa's music helped to create a very special atmosphere and made our day even more memorable! I could not recommend more highly!"
