Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"This was a tough one because we only took over Los Balcones this year. We hadn't had any live music on up to this point. Someone told us Jon Stevens was playing at one of the bars in El Salvador, Mazzaron. We both headed over and the place was packed. We managed to catch about 5 songs as he was finishing up. Everyone was loving it, and didn't want him to finish. We ended up pulling him to one side and asked him to play Los Balcones the following Sunday. The guy even came down in the week to check out where he'd be playing and talk us through what we wanted. Unbelievable! The Sunday was an afternoon gig 4-6pm. Normally people would be leaving at this time but every single person stayed to watch Jon till the end. Jon played on the outdoor terrace in about 38 degrees under a parasol. What a fab afternoon. Everyone loved it and even out German friend got up on the Bongos when he played sweet home Alabama for someone's birthday . He is the first person we have had on here since taking over and he's really set the bar high now. I think we will struggle to find anyone as good, so will be very picky in the future. Can't wait to have him back soon, and he's becoming very popular now in the Murcian region of Spain. P.S... our takings were up massively as we were ramned to full capacity, so we fed his family and him for free to say thank you, Not that there was much food left haha. Great gig buddy and hope to see you soon. Declan and Nic"

"I have seen East Yorkshire Harpist perform at two weddings now. Both times I was blown away and so were the guests. Very beautiful sound."

"Dear Claire Thank you SO much for playing for us on Wednesday, it was the most beautiful, magical day we will never forget and having the sax music in the background just set the tone PERFECTLY – exactly what we had hoped for! You’re a star. Sorry I didn’t get the opportunity to thank you and say goodbye on the day, it all just passed in a blur! Wishing you all the very best, Allan & Debbie Whitehead."

Hi Paul Many thanks for your positive feedback and for everything you and Judith and the team did to organise Sunday. It was a rip-roaring success and I look forward to working with you on more events! Hope you manage to have a well-deserved rest and relaxation this week — and thanks again for everything you've done! See you soon Cheers Rory

"Michael recently played for us at our Golden Wedding Celebration. As he is very adaptable, he was able to compile a suitable programme of music suitable for the occasion. We were highly delighted and had many favourable comments, and his playing added much to the day. "

"I would strongly recommend Jeremy if you’re looking for a wedding singer. He played and sang during our ceremony in London in July. He added an unforgettable magical touch to our ceremony. All songs were executed beautifully and in Jeremy’s unique and captivating style."

"Your show is amazing, very professional and so polished with a song list that took us right through the ages. So much variety of styles performed to an equally high standard. You can tell the attention to detail with the song selection for our party, and how you finish the night in such a brilliant way. You are a real showman and we will be booking you again in the future. "

"Jayney J. Exceptional talent. Daniel played as I walked down. The aisle, throughout the ceremony (when signing certificates etc) and as we walked back up the aisle. The sound of a live violin at a wedding is somehow so magical and personal. Daniel listened to our requests before the big day and gave his very experienced knowledge of when and what order to play etc. Daniel also really looks the part in his Tux."

"I would just like to say a massive thank you for organising Chris to play at our party last Saturday evening - he was wonderful! I have never heard a pianist play such beautiful music, he really was fantastic. A lot of our guests also commented on how good Chris was - always a good sign! The music he played for us was just perfect and he was extremely charming and mannerly. At the end of the evening, he presented me with a CD of his music from the night, so now we have a wonderful memory of all the songs that were played. I would not hesitate to recommend both you and Chris to anyone wanting to hire a very talented pianist and a very efficient event organiser."
