Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"We booked Jamie for an open-air yesterday. It was a beautifully sunny afternoon and guests were treated to Jamie’s soulful sounds, it was the perfect vibe and a real talking point! We had so many comments about how the music enhanced the event and made it feel even more special. Jamie is a very pleasant individual who was flexible on the day and easy to communicate with. on the lead up to it. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him if you are looking for chilled out sax vibes. Great stuff Jamie, thank you!"

"My family traveled from the U.S. to Inverness recently, among a few other stops, hoping to visit some ancestral sites specific to our family lines. I was having trouble finding a tour guide, and the idea hit me to see if I could find a local Piper...thought even better if they were a Fraser like me....literally contacted Spud at the last minute, and he was happy to oblige. Far exceeded our expectations!!! I told him to feel free to come casually dressed on such short notice....his Highland attire was incredible! And his musicianship was outstanding...in America we would say this guy has some "serious chops"! Graced us with several wonderful tunes, and was as charming and witty as all of the other reviews mentioned. He is first class all the way!!! He turned an occasion into an event. He made our experience feel epic. You instantly feel like a friend to Spud when you meet him. And he was full of hilarious stories and quips. If you're a "yankee" and need a Piper in America or the other side of the pond....do yourself a favor and contact Spud....you will not be disappointed, and he will add so much class and fun to whatever you have going on!!!! Cannot say enough good things about this guy...a consummate professional and such a winsome and personable fellow. "

"Charlie sang at our Wedding a month ago and we are still in awe of how amazing she really was. She really set the vibe for our drinks receptions and the guests absolutely loved her. Charlie just has that voice you could listen to all day. Not only does Charlie have an incredible voice, she is just a lovely lovely person. We would highly recommend and can’t thank her enough! We couldn’t have been more happy!"

"We were very lucky to have Dave at our wedding recently, we were more than impressed upon hearing him play during our ceremony, even the hotel staff were highly impressed. During the reception he walked around the tables playing his sax while clearly very into the music himself which made for an amazing atmosphere. He finished by playing alongside my father which I'll never forget. Absolutely amazing man."

"Ben is, without a doubt, one of the most talented musicians we have ever had the pleasure of hearing. We first came across him at a wedding fair, and after listening to him play for just a few minutes, we knew he was exactly who we wanted for our wedding day. Booking him turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Ben was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. He took the time to listen to all of our requests and made sure every detail was exactly how we had imagined. His communication throughout the planning process was excellent, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. On the day itself, Ben was absolutely outstanding. His music created the most beautiful atmosphere, and so many of our guests commented on how incredibly talented he was. His performance was flawless, and he brought such a special touch to every part of our day. He is able to play absolutely any genre of music and even learnt a new piece for our ceremony which I had requested. What really stood out, though, was how kind and flexible he was. My sister had been rehearsing to sing during our ceremony and was feeling really nervous and struggling in the lead-up to the wedding. Despite having very little notice and only a short amount of time to prepare, Ben stepped in to accompany her on the piano. He made her feel completely at ease, adapted effortlessly, and played beautifully. It could have been a stressful situation, but thanks to Ben’s talent, professionalism, and calm nature, it became one of the most memorable and emotional moments of our day. Ben truly went above and beyond for us. Not only is he an exceptionally gifted musician, but he is also a genuinely lovely person who clearly cares about making each couple’s day as special as possible. We honestly can’t say enough positive things about him. If you’re looking for a musician for your wedding or any special occasion, we couldn’t recommend Ben more highly. He exceeded every expectation and helped create memories that we will treasure forever. Thanks Ben!"

"Tim performed at a camping rally for us attended by over 100 guests. Brilliant from start to finish in communication and arriving ahead of schedule to get all set up. Tim performed for 2 hours and we got great feedback from the guests. Great mix of songs including requests!"

"The Masked Violinist was simply spectacular. He made both the ceremony and the reception feel truly heavenly. I suggested to him that he play Bittersweet Symphony for my entrance to the church, and you cannot imagine how beautiful it sounded 😍. Absolutely recommended. "

"Thank you again, you were awesome, and probably the only part of our whole reception that delivered everything you said you would, when you said you’d do it."

"Ann- Marie was absolutely brilliant. I booked Ann as a surprise for my husbands 50th he was not disappointed. She fitted in with our genre perfectly and also learnt my husband’s favourite song to play on the evening. He’s still talking about what a beautiful surprise she was. "

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at my Gran’s funeral today. Your performance was absolutely amazing and truly beautiful from start to finish. The music added something very special and moving to the service, and so many people commented on how fantastic you were. You played with such professionalism, dignity, and heartfelt emotion, and it gave us great comfort on such a difficult day. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tribute to my Gran. Thank you again for helping us give her the send-off she deserved. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a truly outstanding bagpiper."

"Wow, what a singer! Lucy was an absolute star, travelling up from London with her guitarist to my party in the Midlands to help me out at short notice, as I was struggling to find an act I liked and was available for my birthday party. What I didn't realise was, not only is she absolutely lovely but she has an amazing voice, great range, a huge variety of songs and she even did me an Elvis number by special request. Her guitarist was a quality act too. I know there are lots of 10/10 ratings on here, but seriously I don't think you could give Lucy any less, if you hire her, she will make your event a special one."

"I can’t describe how much of a wonderful addition to our day Charles Brown was. Every single guest was blown away by his beautiful voice and his guitar playing added a cool and fun touch. He set the atmosphere and made our day unforgettable. We 100% recommend. "
