"We recently had Vernon attend my wife’s birthday party and sing for us. I can’t recommend Vernon enough to anyone thinking of adding something special to their event. He was the shining star of the party and such a lovely person to match. His personality shone through his work and everybody loved him and the interaction he generated with the guests. We will definitely be returning for more of our Vernon fix. Thank you, Vernon. "

"Chris played for me with very little notice, which was hugely appreciated. I got to pick the songs I wanted to hear played, from a long list of numbers he is able to perform. Contact was fast and clear over email and text, and the set itself was 100% professional and polished. Thank you!"

"We had Nigel perform at our wedding in early December 2025. He joined us for the ceremony, reception and meal, and did an absolutely fantastic job. His music really complimented the day, creating just the mood we wanted for each part. The booking process was so easy and he has a massive range of pieces he can draw upon. It was really quite special hearing what we had chosen played throughout the day. I would highly recommend for any events/weddings."

"Chris was brilliant. Even before the wedding he was great at communicating, and went above and beyond to learn the songs we wanted. On the day he played both bagpipes and piano beautifully and we received so many compliments. I would highly recommend Chris for your big day or any other event. "

"Just to say thank you for your beautiful playing on Saturday.. It was just what I wanted and made a perfect background to the evening. We were so lucky to have such good weather that our guests could be outside all evening. "

"Stephen I would like to say one HUGE thank you for coming to play at our restaurant event last week. It was a very successful evening and with your amazing playing of both accordion and keyboard (for a very generous amount of time may I add) was the icing on the cake. We have had some lovely feedback on your playing and true professionalism. You played such a lovely mix of music for us. You kept communication with us so we knew exactly where we were at and with no hesitation we would gladly like for you to play for us again in the future. A true professional and a lovely gentleman you really brought the evening together perfectly. The hamper was the least we could do for you for your generosity. Thank you again Stephen..... Sandra "

"Nigel played during the ceremony, the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast. As a COVID wedding we were trying to make the day memorable for the right reasons and Nigel helped us to achieve that by playing a beautiful chilled selection of songs. As it was a December wedding he played a lovely selection of Christmas songs. We are so happy we picked Nigel to be a part of our day and would highly recommend this to anyone. "

"We hired Nigel to play at our wedding at Shuttleworth House . Nigel played when guests arrived, we chatted to Nigel as to our favourite songs which he would play. I also walked down the aisle to Nigel playing my entry music....it was truly magical. We had the most amazing day made all the better by having Nigel playing and entertaining our guests. We had a number of children at the venue, and part way through a song the children gathered round the piano to which Nigel quickly changed the song to teddy bears picnic....wow! They were made up and so were are guests, what a lovely thing to do. Great communication with Nigel, weddings can be stressful but he was so easy to work with, had great ideas as to what to play and how to move around the rooms. I really couldn’t recommend him high enough!"

"We were lucky enough to have Alex play at our wedding, both for the reception and the wedding breakfast, and he was truly exceptional in every way! From the very beginning, he was so accommodating and responsive, always willing to work with us on song selections and ensuring everything was exactly as we envisioned. His flexibility in tailoring the music to fit the mood of the day was just wonderful. Most importantly, the music itself was simply beautiful. The moment our guests entered the reception, the atmosphere was instantly elevated by his elegant playing. Every note was perfect, and his repertoire offered a timeless, classic feel that matched our wedding perfectly. If you’re looking for a talented pianist who will not only play beautifully but also be a joy to work with, I can’t recommend Alex highly enough. His music brought an extra layer of sophistication and warmth to our wedding, and I would absolutely encourage any couple looking for classic, elegant entertainment to book him for their big day. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!"

"Becks H, January 2020 Birthday party in Newtown, Buckland St Mary, Chard TA20 3TE, UK Emily was just fantastic. She was booked very last minute and was very accommodating with this approach. It was a surprise for my Dad's 82nd Birthday and it was such a delightful evening. It was an intimate evening, just family and Emily's mastery with her beautiful cello left not many dry eyes in the house. She was just great and my whole family had such a special, memorable and delightful evening. Thanks so very much Emily for making a special birthday , a truly fabulous night to remember."
