"Last summer, we were delighted with the performance of saxophonist / clarinettist Rory Duffy and pianist Chris Roe exploring the music of George Gershwin. This summer, Rory Duffy enchanted the audience with his fusion of acoustic Latin with Brazilian music, jazz and soul and the arrangements were tastefully orchestrated with Julian Harris on guitar and Venezuelan percussionist James Vielma. It made for an engaging performance. We hope to have him back again soon! Whitworth Art Gallery, July 2012"

"Nazan sung at my wedding in 2012. The wedding itself was in a big church, so we really wanted a traditional singer, with both a beautiful voice and presence. Nazan was amazing. She sang two songs during the ceremony and absolutely blew everyone away. The backdrop of the church against the sheer quality and beauty of her voice made my wedding unforgettable. I still have guests who speak about it today as a highlight, and say it is something they will always remember. She is extremely professional, and very flexible in relation to song choices and genres. I would highly recommend Nazan for weddings or any other special occasions. She truly does make the day special for everyone."

"Zoe was absolutely fantastic the playing of the music and timing to our non traditional entrance was greatly appreciated. She played tracks that are uncommon upon request and did so amidst a lot of action. The guests really enjoyed her and was regularly asking about her. Great communication from the very start. One thing is you are in safe hands with Zoe from start to finish."

"Zoe was absolutely fantastic from the moment I contacted her to this day, ordering her CD as a lasting momento of the beautiful music she played for us on our special day. We had a church ceremony in which I had requested that Zoe played the beautiful classical pieces, whilst the guests congregated, as I walked down the aisle, during the signing of the register and as we left the church as a married couple. Zoe then kindly and professionally moved over to our drinks reception and played so many lovely contemporary pieces as we sheltered from the summers rain and began our celebrations surrounded by family and friends. Zoe was polite, friendly and professional throughout and if you are considering booking a harpist for your wedding or special occasion, do not hesitate to contact her! I booked with Zoe just three weeks before our wedding and I am so glad that I did! Such a special addition to our ceremony and wedding day as a whole. Thank you again Zoe!"

Her music was beautifully played and she mixed it up with Irish, modern and old and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our guests would agree, Thank you also for our wedding card! Love Stacie and Ryan xxx"

"Chris Tavener is simply exceptional! We booked him to headline a night in the depths of Winter in our remote outpost and he packed the venue out. Within hours of announcing his show we we're taking bookings which is pretty unheard of for us. On the run up to the gig and on the day, his professionalism was top-notch. Communication was excellent and he made sound checking a dream. On the night his performance was impeccable. He had the crowd in raptures of laughter and we even had customers watching the livestream from the loo because they didn't want to miss anything. We can't wait to have him back."

"The Great Galician Iago on guitar - I got a touch of Kossof, a little of Ry Cooder, but in truth a really distinctive player who eschews all the cliches."
