"I have worked with Spud on many occasions over the years, most recently at the North Hop Festival in Aberdeen where Spud piped festival goers in to the venue and also opened and closed the festival. His piping is first-class, he looks impeccable and his easy-going humour and manner with people makes him an ideal addition to any type of event. You’ll have a hard time dragging him away from your guests - everyone wants a Spud Selfie! I can highly recommend him - Spud adds a touch of class and fun to proceedings every time. Ten out of ten."

"We asked Tamilla to play for our guests at our wedding during the drinks reception and she played beautifully. We left the choice of music up to her, and it was perfect for the occasion. We had so many compliments from our guests who thought Tamilla’s playing added a lovely atmosphere. We would highly recommend Tamilla for any occasion. She always responded promptly to our queries, liaised with the venue about insurance and was just lovely to deal with. Thank you Tamilla! George and Karon Adamson"

"I would highly recommend both your booking service and Elliot Rooney. Booking was easy and professionally managed. Elliot delighted our guests, I had asked for him to gauge the audience and he find just that, all our guests commented how much they had enjoyed his mystic during the event and how lovely a tone Elliot had when he sang. Really pleased, thank you."

"Tamilla played at my daughter’s wedding ceremony and drink reception. She is such an amazing violinist and a very professional and nice person. When I asked her spontaneously if she could stay longer to settle us all in a wedding breakfast hall she was only too glad to accomodate. Service was perfect and the sound of her violin made the day!"

"I booked Lucinda for a surprise 60th wedding anniversary gift for two opera connoisseurs at their home. I didn’t know if it would work but I had faith in Lucinda from the outset. Not only does she have an impressive CV and extensive plaudits, she is so professional. Firstly, Lucinda is very passionate - it shows in her superlative organisation, she sought a clear brief and was extremely responsive with communication throughout the booking (which she accepted and confirmed within 2 hours. For Lucinda the ‘customer is king’ insofar as she is very client-focused, openly explained the logistics from her self-sufficiency with audio technology & choice of arias for the performance, and the right presentation and make up for the event. Everything with Lucinda was seamless, engendering my utter trust in her competence and ability. The recipients of this surprise were cagily forewarned by me of a ‘delivery’ which may cause a temporary noise disruption for neighbours. The rest (they say) is history - metaphorically Lucinda’s performance brought the house down! My friends loved their surprise gift, the neighbours enjoyed it too, and apparently a passer-by in a car was so mesmerised he ‘followed the music’ like a Homeric sailor following the song a siren, and invited to stay for the rest of Lucinda’s set. He too was very impressed. Nor did Lucinda dash away after performing, rather she stayed and swapped stories with the happy couple of the opera world. Thank you Lucinda for translating my moment of inspiration (and mischievousness 😉) to life for two very dear friends on their 60th wedding anniversary. 🙏🏽 As lifelong opera fans with experience on the global opera circuit they don’t hand out praise liberally when it comes to opera singers but said “Lucinda’s performance was great”, that she is “extremely talented” and that they and their neighbours were “utterly delighted” by her. It is an understatement to say this was a job well done. Lucinda has given my friends a personalised performance and a marvellous memory of a lifetime together, with her operatic songlist. In achieving the desired note, Lucinda delivered drama, hope, and passion - the stuff of their life together. In doing so she delivered a top quality performance that was well beyond good value - it is priceless. I cannot recommend Lucinda more highly - she has trained in the most prestigious academies, and it shows. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and anyone who does can be confident of an outstanding outcome. "

"Emily played at my sister-in-law’s 70th birthday lunch’ party in Stockbridge. She played a good range of lovely music and created a wonderful atmosphere for family and friends. Emily was charming and played delightfully. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a way to have music to enhance the setting for a get-together of friends or family. Cliff"
