"Matt was amazing to make our ceremony that bit more special by surprising the bride with a live rendition of dancing queen to walk down the aisle to. Despite being a last minute request, Matt was able to play a bespoke playlist of music for our ceremony and helped to make it so much more special. Thank you so much Matt, the bride absolutely loved the surprise and you played everything so beautifully. Great responsiveness and just a great guy!"

"Des was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. He is an extremely talented, professional pianist who created a beautiful atmosphere during our wedding breakfast. He also played wonderfully on the organ in the church. He played everything we wanted and adapted to the different types of piano styles extremely well. Thank you Des. "

Thanks Heidi and Jon. It was a real pleasure to contribute to your big day. In spite of the Covid limited guest numbers and measures in place it was a fantastic day in a beautiful setting. One of the nicest weddings I have had the privilege to play for! Congratulations and very best wishes to you both.

"Neil is very good and efficient at communication which I feel is necessary when organising an event. Music was played exactly to the specification of the party. Able to read the room and adapt to energy. Very receptive to feedback and requests from guests"

"Nigel played during our wedding breakfast at Hanbury Manor. He is exceptionally talented, well presented and performed beautifully on the day. It created a wonderful ambience for our wedding breakfast and we would definitely recommend him. Thank you Nigel for helping us have the best day ever!"

"I have never met some like Nigel who enjoys his work as much as he does. Nigel played throughout our wedding day. As our guests arrived, during the ceremony and afterwards at our reception. Fabulous. There is something about piano music that is so unpretentious and meaningful. From the initial enquiry to the actual day, we had excellent interaction with Nigel. Nigel has an extensive repertoire of music and his guidance was gratefully received. From understanding the type of music we wanted, to even dressing the pianos to match our colour schemes. It made the day even more memorable. Thank you Mandy and Steve"

"Chris contacted me ahead in order that we could map out the nature of the session; he was calm and flexible in enabling us to manage the presentation session. We identified a specific song that he prepared ahead and when I mentioned another on the day he was able to find and sight-read with ease and competence. He was really easy to work with and the quality of the music throughout the session was excellent and his choices to reflect the mood, spot-on. It provided just perfect backdrop for an event that was reflective of someone who could just sit down at a piano and make magic - thank you SO much, Chris. "

"Hey Bob, Hope you’re well? Just wanted to pass on this feedback from staff at George Elliot Hospital which you visited recently ‘Bob is a brilliant asset to MiHC. He was brilliant with the patients, engaged them with what he was doing and played requests made by a few of the patients.’ Thank you as always, hope you have a fab weekend Kind wishes, Sarah Northall"

"Last weekend we held a birthday celebration for my 90 year old mother-in-law. We wanted live music to create a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Louise was the perfect choice. Her blend of popular classics, easy-listening and gentle jazz suited the occasion perfectly. She was open to requests from those present and infinitely flexible to fit our party schedule. I have no hesitation in recommending her. "

"Unfortunately being the bride I missed part of Jonny's performance however my groom and guests have assured me he played beautifully. Jonny played for our guests before the ceremony, during the ceremony and our drinks reception. He played everything he said he would and it sounded absolutely wonderful. I had concerns about which pieces of music (especially played with an accordion) would be suitable for the ceremony itself and Jonny sent me sound clips of his suggested pieces. He did not disappoint, in fact I was so relived to have booked him, he settled my nerves from the moment we spoke as I'd had nightmares of iPods and sound systems letting me down. Jonny gave us the best of both worlds, a classical sound for the ceremony and more upbeat accordion music for the drinks reception. Again, our guests absolutely loved it, they were rather disappointed we hadn't booked him for the whole day. Booking and arrangements were hassle free and very straightforward and Jonny's requirements were easily accommodated, a chair and power socket. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering booking an accordionist, worth every penny."

"Alan, Many thanks for entertaining us at our Officers’ Mess function, it was a real pleasure to have you with us and your musical excellence, and mostly your adaptability to our needs (well mine mostly). I have had nothing but great feedback from our mess members about the standard of music you played for us and I would like to thank you very much for your ability to meet our military traditions and bearing. I have no doubt we will see you again and I will recommend you far and wide across our Mess’s. Cheers Rob Capt R Dews "
