"I first saw Samantha back in November 2015 at an acoustic night in our local area of stoke. Myself and my partner were blown away by her vocals and when she told the audience that she had taken it upon herself to quit her full time job and make a living out of music we were gobsmacked, from watching her you would think she had being doing this professionally for years and years. We started following Samantha on facebook and we often attend her local paid gigs in the area. She's really making a name for herself. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed by her live vocals, she's brill. I also love her own music, it's got a really nice catchy feel to it and if you want to hear something new I know she wouldn't hesitate to throw her own songs in your performance if that's what you wanted. Keep it up Samantha and remember me and Mike when you're famous!!! "

"I had seen Nigel many months earlier at a wedding fair and immediatley decided that he was the one I wanted to play at our event. I just loved his repertoire and it resonated with me. Like many wedding couples, we had to change the date for our wedding more than once and we were so thrilled that Nigel was very easy to get hold of and responded quickly to our requests. Especially with a venue change and then having the complexity of a church service as well as a reception. It was so sweet of Nigel to do a little Facebook video and dedicate a tune for us on what would have been our wedding day and he even put on a wonderful coloured jacket to add extra pizzazz. Such a wonderful and personal touch. To help us choose, Nigel gave us a spreadsheet of his tunes and it made it very easy to tick boxes to choose our favourites. Also, as we were having a church service, Nigel especially learned a hymn that my husband particularly liked. Despite restrictions on the setting up time at the church, Nigel put on a fantastic performance. Beautiful flowers on his piano and a colour themed jacket too. Although we had restrictions on numbers of people, Nigel really made this a special and intimate event. At the reception, we were extremely happy with the wonderful background music Nigel played... it just seemed so effortless as he rolled from one tune to another. We had so many compliments on his playing and professionalism both during and after the event that we felt proud and privilidged to have him as our musician. We cannot recommend Nigel highly enough and we consider him to be the best event pianist in Milton Keynes. We will most definitly consider booking him again should we have a celebration in the future."

"Absolutely amazing, Our guests were very pleasantly surprised when Jamal serenaded everyone. He was so good and extremely professional. Jamal made a wedding absolutely perfect, having looked for a violinist for some time, jamal was recommended and from the very first conversation, we knew he was just right for us. Amazing skills."

"Kit made my baby shower so much fun. My guests loved having live music and some asked me for Kit's number for him to perform at their own events. Excellent value for money and really made my day special. Thanks again Kit x"

Thanks Cheryl. It was very nice playing in your garden for you and your charming guests. I managed to get almost all of your requests in OK. Goodness knows when I'll next be able to do this now that, thanks to Covid-19, there's a new limit of 6 people for private social gatherings! At least I'll have a pleasant memory of my last performance until things change! All the best, KP. xx

"We booked Nigel for our wedding at Plum Park Manor on 31st August after seeing him play at one of their open days. We originally booked for just the ceremony, but then added the drinks reception too. Just wow! I don’t think I have ever met anyone so talented, when he sent his repertoire over I was amazed at how many songs he knew how to play by heart 😳. The communication, booking and song choosing process was great. Nigel even filmed me walking down the aisle with him playing which I am forever grateful as this is something I will treasure forever! We asked if he could play some Oasis on the day as our guests were gutted they missed out on tickets 🤣 and this was no problem at all. Thank you so much Nigel you are a star! 🤩 100% recommend!"

"We hired Stephen to play classically Parisienne cafe style music and help give us an authentic ambience for our annual Beaujolais Nouveau Supper. He did not fail to deliver! The diners loved him and his professionalism was second to none; arriving nice and early and even coming in some French dress to go along with our 'tongue in cheek' French theme for the evening. Thank you very much again - you are highly recommended."

"My wife and I had Nigel play Piano at our wedding at Shuttleworth House in May '24, and honestly we couldn't have asked for a more pleasant and professional fellow. We had a super mixture of Disney classics, film themes, 00's hits and general wedding favourites to accompany our guests arriving to our Ceremony; and afterwards during our drinks reception. Nigel even learned songs from artists we mentioned we liked to add to the set list for our day. The whole thing went down an absolute treat with our guests. Great communication throughout and super flexible, we would absolutely recommend his services to anyone."

"We had Nigel play at our wedding blessing (At Gayhurst Manor). We really wanted to have a piano to accompany our friend who is a violinist during the church service. Nigel went above and beyond to meet regularly with the violinist prior to the day to practise and he was just amazing on the day. He then played during our sit down meal and was extremely well received by all our guests. We are so grateful for the efforts Nigel put in to make our wedding blessing so special and would definitely recommend Nigel to anybody who is looking for a fantastic pianist who will do everything he can to fit your needs."
