Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"If you ever get the chance to hear pianist Rick Vale play, take it. My wife and I first heard him on a cruise ship, and from the moment he sat down at the piano and launched into his boogie-woogie style, we were hooked. We made it a point to attend every session he played for the rest of the cruise. I’m from Mississippi and grew up on blues and the fiery piano sound of Jerry Lee Lewis, so that style means a lot to me. When Rick graciously agreed to play a few Jerry Lee Lewis favorites, it absolutely made my trip. He captured the spirit and energy of that music while still making it completely his own. Beyond his incredible talent at the keyboard, Rick has a natural way with the crowd. He’s engaging, funny, and creates an atmosphere that’s pure fun. Every performance felt less like a show and more like a great musical gathering. I’ve kept up with where Rick is playing ever since, hoping our paths cross again someday just so I can hear him play live one more time. He’s not just a great pianist—he’s the kind of performer who makes an evening unforgettable."

"Just want to thank you once again for your part in helping to make our ruby anniversary such a success. So many people commented on how well you played and you even impressed our offspring with your repertoire! We had a lovely afternoon which will remain with us for years to come. Hope you find the time to explore Holmbury a little more."

"Madhu played at my baby shower and was absolutely fantastic. She was organised prior to the event, bought the respected and required equipment with her and managed my expectations well regarding timings. I felt she went above and beyond to provide a fantastic service. It would be a pleasure to have Madhu apart of any other events i host and of course, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented sax player!"

"Thank you Tom for playing at our wedding! You were absolutely brilliant, it gave me goosebumps and we have had so many wonderful comments from guests. Throughout the process Tom was approachable, flexible and took the time to learn new music at our request as well as recommending pieces that would set the tone of our day perfectly. We would highly recommend Tom and we will certainly be using him again in the future for more big celebrations."

"The band were absolutely fantastic and were great for a party at the pub! They drove all the way from London to North Yorkshire to play for our wedding welcome party. They played so well and got all our guests dancing all night! The choice of songs were great and all band members were really nice and professional! A big thank you to all 3 of them!"

He even played a couple of extras for us as my guests demanded 'just one more song!' - Would highly recommend Danny and I hope i'll see you play again in the future! "
