"From the moment of contact Tom was outstanding. He replied to emails efficiently and was always helpful. He has an extensive repertoire which attracted me to booking him to begin with. His YouTube channel was a delight to listen to to assist in deciding what music to choose for our ceremony. We also used it for bridesmaid rehearsals for walking down the aisle. On the day Tom set up fast, the guests commented on the beautiful music during the ceremony. I personally loved every second of Toms work and I’m very happy we hired a videographer to capture it all on film. If you’re thinking of booking a pianist, book Tom. "

"I run a little Amateur Dramatics group called The Chanticleer Players and we were all attempting to put on our first Pantomime! We were struggling until we stumbled upon the brilliant Tom Kelsey! Tom came and saved the day! It was all rather last minute really, but Tom took it all in his stride and raised our Pantomime performance with his amazing piano playing. Not all our cast who sang are singers but Tom managed to make each and every one look great! He was able, off the cuff, to produce background music to scenes, which enhanced the audience experience. We had a CD of Christmas Songs playing as the audience arrived and took there seats, but one evening it faltered and broke. Tom stepped in and played Christmas songs to keep the atmosphere alive until the Pantomime was ready to begin. Tom was punctual, professional, understanding, adaptable and above all an outstanding musician. I can highly recommend Tom and we will be asking him back in the Summer! "

"Andrew played at the drinks reception of our wedding at the Royal Courts of Justice this summer. We were very impressed with Andrew's performance. All of our guests commented on Andrew and were of the view that the music he played was in keeping with the venue and the theme of the wedding. Andrew was very accommodating when it came to the selection of songs and I was happy with all the samples he sent me. We were so pleased Andrew was able to perform at our wedding and would thoroughly recommend him for any event!"

"We booked Jon for our wedding last week and he was absolutely brilliant. Even better than we could have asked for and everybody thoroughly enjoyed his music. We had so many compliments on the day and loved the choices of music he played. Couldn’t recommend more highly for a wedding or event. Thanks again Jon!"

Hi Andrew, apologies for the lengthy delay in replying to you. I’ve only just been notified that the review was waiting. Thank you so much for your lovely comments on the music I played at your event. It was a very special occasion and I did so enjoy entertaining all the guests there. Best wishes, Corinne

"What playing! Here was technical virtuosity and musical colour illustrating the diversity of mood which these unusual pictures inspired. This brought to a dramatic conclusion a superb recital that was rich in diversity, enabling us to glimpse the variety of interpretative skills which John possesses. We hope to hear him again very soon."

"Gareth thank you for your stunning playing at our wedding last month. We were so lucky to find you at short notice and really appreciate the time, care and calming humour you brought to us in our planning coffee. Gareth Giles is a truly lovely man to work with and made all our musical dreams come true with apt suggestions and help with the detailing of the order of service. His playing is pure genius and any couples reading this looking for a highly talented, experienced church musician who also happens to be a lovely, funny man to work with should NOT hesitate to book him - you will not be disappointed. Fantastic music flows from this man Thanks again GG and keep in touch"

"I just wanted to thank you for playing at our Wedding last Wednesday in Rye. You were very kind to a nervous groom and cheerful too! You played beautifully and really helped make the occasion wonderful. It was definitely your playing, when I walked up the stairs to meet the Registrar before the ceremony that set me off emotionally! And it was great just listening to your playing when there was a delay at the start, waiting for Louise to come in. That's something that a CD player is never going to be able to deal with! The Best Man told me that you had managed to get the harp down the stairs, whilst the pictures were being taken so hope that was not a problem... I had allocated some helpers. Hope you get a chance for another holiday soon... don't let it be 3 years again. "
