Review Centre: Classical Soloists

"Absolutely loved it! Sarah-Jane was so accommodating and my family and I appreciate all the effort she made in ensuring she got to the venue in plenty of time. My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner as she could have had so much more input. I would love to attend an event where I could listen to her again. Thank you so much"

"From our initial contact, Lucinda demonstrated exceptional professionalism, attentiveness, and warmth. During our preliminary Microsoft Teams meeting, I outlined the event brief, and she listened with great care, offering insightful and creative suggestions that reflected her considerable experience. Following this discussion, Lucinda prepared two outstanding set lists — an elegant fusion of dramatic opera, smooth jazz, and contemporary pieces, each thoughtfully curated with either strong or subtle Halloween influences. On the evening of the event, Lucinda arrived well in advance to set up her stage equipment and conduct a thorough sound check prior to the arrival of our guests. From her stage within the marquee, she presented a striking visual presence, her elegant attire complementing the setting beautifully. Throughout the performance, Lucinda captivated the audience with her remarkable vocal talent and commanding stage presence. Despite the stormy weather and intermittent heavy rain, her voice carried effortlessly, maintaining its clarity and strength against the elements. Lucinda is an exceptionally talented, professional, reliable, and sophisticated performer of the highest calibre. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a world-class act to elevate their event. I can't wait to book her again."

"Kathleen, I'm so sorry it's taken this long to write a review. You were absolutely amazing singing single solo at my mum's funeral. Ave Maria was beautiful. My mum would have loved it and loved you. With the emotions of the day I never got to say thank you. So a belated massive thank you now. For anyone thinking of a solo singer I cannot recommend this beautiful lady enough. "

"We hired the mask for the football clubs 60th anniversary celebrations. What an amazing artist and violin player. The crowd were singing to his songs and playing guess the tune he was playing. He played all 16 songs on our playlist beautifully. I highly recommend him for your special date. "

"I hope you are well and Happy Easter, hopefully stuffing yourself with a lot of chocolate. I wanted to get in touch to say a huge thank you for what you did on our wedding day. I am sorry I didn’t get to meet you in person but it was perfect, it could not have gone any better and we have received so many compliments about you and how you play. Even just you being there (omg they have a harpist) haha. It sounded beautiful, we cant thank you enough for your work and making our day that bit more special. I will definitely be recommending you in the future and be using you again. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate such an amazing day, we are still on such a high and cant believe its over, would do it all again if we had the chance. All the best Lauren & Pabilo"

"Peter Duncan is a professional and highly experienced guitarist. A performance has you spellbound as gorgeous sounds arise to the deft and sinuous movement of his hands. In a set he moves from classics to current chart hits and he puts the deserved energy into rock n’ roll, ballads, blues, reggae and jazz.  Peter’s base is a relaxed, easy-listening style in which you sense his own delight especially as he makes a natural playful contact with his audience. The style reflects his passionate influence from The Beatles - with their own arresting melody, lyrical poetry and versatility. Ultimately Peter is an amiable, easy going and accomodating performer who can touch sweetly or invigorate spiritedly every listener. Jen Smith "

"Thank you so much for playing at the wedding. It was just perfect for us and you sounded fantastic in that setting. Thank you for being so thorough and helpful throughout the whole booking experience. The song we chose for me to walk into, Etta James- At last, is one of my mum’s favourite songs and we didn’t tell her what we had chosen. When I walked into that song on your beautiful cello , it really took her by surprise in a great way. (Stockport Marble Staircase: 11th May, 2025)"

"Amazing pianist and top bloke. Andrew played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception... I was gutted to have to go for photos taken outside as could have listened to him all day. Truly professional and amazing pianist. Would recommend him for any event."

"During the evening there were two opportunities for everyone to enjoy the combined efforts of two young and accomplished musicians, Oscar Tabor (violin) and Marcus Forster (guitar). They constitute the group: Daphne Duo, and are available for hire for wedding receptions and other occasions as well as concert performances! They played several movements from Piazzzolla’s ‘L’Histoire du tango” and the Sonata Concertata of Paganini. With obvious skill and delight in the contribution they were making, they demonstrated a great talent for engaging the audience in the colourful music they played, and showed that violin and guitar can provide a very successful music-making pairing."
