"Mark has played for our choir numerous times since I have been a member and he always gives us 110% of his talent when acommpaning us. Mark's talent adds special undertones to our choir arrangements and makes us sound amazing. We're very grateful whenever Mark can play for us. "

"Gareth was the organist at a civic service at which my brother and I were asked to play trumpet. He met with us, liased with the organisers, provided suitable music and accompanied us. He took the lead with a keen sense of humour, made it fun but was always focused consequently the music at the service received nothing but praise. Subsequently I have practiced a couple of concertos and other works with him accompanying. He quickly and accurately picked up the music. It was a rewarding and enjoyable experience and I look forward to continuing working with him."

"We wanted some background music for our daughters Christening reception, having heard Mark play before, we knew he was what we was looking for. He was fantastic and really completed the mood, an amazingly talented very friendly man. Thank you Mark."

"Mark, thank you so much for playing the organ and piano so beautifully at my Wedding Ceremony, I’ve never heard our organ sound so good. So many guests commented on how lovely the music sounded too. I also really appreciate the help that you gave my Dad before the ceremony, whilst rehearsing his songs, your accompaniment on the piano was just perfect! We really couldn’t of asked for a better organist, and would recommend you to anyone, thank you."

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark

"Des and Mike provided an excellent accompaniment to our family celebration in a garden setting. Perhaps we might have liked a little more jazz added to their fantastic repertoire."

"Dez was recommended to us by Tibberton Church warden and he fitted in with all the plans for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding in September 2021. He played the organ superbly before and during the service but also played the saxophone to accompany their exit song ‘All you need is love’ by the Beatles adding a fantastic extra vibe to this joyful fun-filled occasion. We can thoroughly recommend him. "

"Gareth played for our daughter's wedding last week and was a wonderful organist. He met with us all and discussed the options over a friendly coffee. When it came to the day my daughter really did feel like 'The Queen of Sheba' and everyone enjoyed singing the hymns. As an amateur musician myself I was bowled over by Gareth's innate musicality and sensitive, appropriate playing and tempi. Widor's Toccata certainly gave our Organ a workout it will remember for many years !! As a family we cannot recommend Gareth highly enough. He is a lovely man to work with. (ps there does not seem to be a button to give Gareth 11/10 !!)"

"Mark responded to our last-minute request to play at our wedding at Madingley Hall. He was professional, friendly and reassuring. We particularly wanted Ennio Morricone's Love Theme from 'Cinema Paradiso' and Mark was happy to learn it specially. Brilliant!"
