"Tom sang at our celebration party, about 100 people aged from 18-75, everybody thought he was excellent, he even did a fabulous Nessun Dorma. If you want a great singer, brilliant entertainer, and above all a thoroughly professional and top guy, Tom is your person."

"Colin was the best ever. Absolute wonderful man. My family and I were so grateful to have Colin travel so far for us and do 2 funerals in the space of a couple of months. I will leave this review on all sites he is on. "

"I hired Matthew for my 50th birthday party and am so pleased that I did - he was exactly what I was looking for! I selected him on the basis of the quality that I saw on the website, and felt that he was even better in person. Being somewhat fussy, I was apprehensive about finding someone who could meet my needs, but Matthew suggested that we had a meeting before my event and we chatted through my ideas and preferences - as well as the things that I did not want! I came away feeling that he understood me and that we had connected, which was incredibly reassuring, and I was not let down on the night. Matthew is an incredibly talented singer and guitarist - recreating songs in a way that not only reflects the original, but often putting his own twist onto them in a way that keeps them fresh and interesting. His use of the loop pedal was particularly impressive! It was of note that so many of my guests commented on how good he was - they had a great time and really got into the swing of things as he gradually turned up the tempo and got everyone dancing. In doing so, he took requests, interacted with the crowd, showed a good sense of humour and came across and a fun, friendly and approachable guy. He played a wide range of songs, all of which reflected our discussion beforehand, with a great balance between those you might expect at a party and some 'surprises' that may be less common but worked equally well - if not better! I would definitely hire Matthew again, and would recommend him to pretty much anyone: he has a list of nearly 500 songs to choose from, and has a strict policy of not having a 'usual' setlist - instead preferring to engage in a discussion of what you'd like, so would be able to cater for all tastes - even mine! Thanks so much Matthew - you turned a great night into an incredible night!"

Thank you so much for your review Ian - I was genuinely touched! I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself, especially as I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to organise your own birthday party and feel responsible for everyone’s fun! I loved the atmosphere created by your guests and it was such a pleasure to see you and your friends all dancing together. I hope I can play for you again one day! - Matt

"Meredith has an incredible talent on the harp. We had a mix of classical and modern pieces as well as our hymns played on harp all of which sounded truly wonderful. Meredith kept in regular contact with me and learnt the pieces we wanted and even sent me sound clips during the process. We feel our wedding was perfect from the very start as the harp was played whilst our guests arrived too. I can honestly not fault Meredith's service and musical talent. Would recommend for any occasion and we will certainly be in touch for future events. "

"A perfect pianist! Tom arrived early to our venue as to set up in good time. He fit the ambiance of the venue perfectly during both the ceremony and our drinks reception. He learnt a song for us and it was a perfect rendition. We even stopped our ceremony so we could listen to our song. I would thoroughly recommend Tom for any events, but especially weddings! Thanks again"

"Well where to start with Chris.. I saw him perform at a friend’s birthday party. He bought such a good vibe that I knew he would be the perfect addition to mine and my now husband’s wedding day. We booked him more than a year in advance as we wanted to make sure he was available.. and he did not disappoint. He made our drinks reception with his amazing voice and energy. We have had so many compliments on his performance. Apart from having an incredible voice and musical talent he is also LOVELY! I would recommend that everyone follow his music and his journey in the music industry and well as booking him for future events. He will not disappoint."

"There are no words to explain how amazing eccentric pony was for our wedding this weekend. There are certainly not many wedding bands that will play rage against the machine or steel panther and we are so happy we found the one that not only would, but enjoy playing it as much as we enjoyed listening. We have been overwhelmed with compliments from our guests and will 1000% recommend to anyone we know who needs to hire a band for their event. They were punctual, polite and happy to take requests that were compatible with the vibe we were aiming for. No S Club 7 requests were granted for this wedding! "

"The Wigornia String Quartet performed beautifully at my wedding last month. I was very happy with the songs that they performed and how I could choose the songs that I wanted for my walk down the aisle, registry signing and exit. They knew a good balance of classic and modern songs. I'd 100% recommend! All of my guests thoroughly enjoyed the performance."

"After seeing Helly and Andy AKA the Ragtag Misfits playing in Liverpool I just knew they would be a perfect accompaniment for our wedding in Wales. They were not a disappointment! We had a relaxed feel to our wedding and they helped set the tone perfectly playing a huge array of music that appealed to all age ranges, including bringing percussion instruments that allowed people to get involved. We opted for the Acoustic Pop Up theme and it was perfect as they popped up and played around the venue to wherever we needed them. We can only be really grateful to them both for making our day truly memorable"

"Ben accompanied my daughter at a recent violin rehearsal. He was extremely professional - warm, kind and welcoming to us and incredibly accommodating when booking a practice appointment. He is clearly a very talented musician but with extra skill in helping young children feel comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend!"
