"Des George is a fantastic keyboard player. For the second year in a row he has led our Christmas Choir to raise money for Cancer Research UK. Des played for 4 hours solid. He is a incredibly versatile musician. He was playing anything from rocking Christmas songs like Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" through to traditional beautifully played Carols. Thank you Des. You are a star."

"Lawrence's playing was the highlight of our day on the cruise and provided a very varied programme of music. His repertoire was all embracing and entertaining whilst we supped our wine! He readily offered to play requests and his improvisation just had to be heard. Thank you Lawrence."

"Reliable, proficient, and flexible, Ben is regularly able to tackle an array of requests and requirements from our wide programme of events. His technical skill with a piano is only matched by his triumph on the organ."

"Gareth was a guest organist for a Sunday service when, at short notice, we needed a deputy. He took a great deal of time and trouble to familiarise himself with our order of service and conventions, played the hymns with a real ear for the congregation, and brought true musicianship to the prelude, offertory and postlude. He switched to piano for the sung solo, which he accompanied with real sensitivity to the piece and the singer. The congregation were delighted to have him play for us, and we would have him back in a heartbeat if the opportunity arose."

"I met Gareth after having had a fairly comprehensive email correspondence with him, where we had discussed exactly I would like to achieve and what he felt he could offer. It felt very promising, but I knew the moment I saw him that he was absolutely right for this difficult occasion. When he sat down at the organ in the Chapel and rattled off several really wonderful pieces I found out how really special he is and that I had been really lucky to pick him. He had agreed to work with me on a very personal programme of music including a performance of songs with another professional soloist - a mini concert (Purcell and Duparc). The result turned out to be quite stunning with beautifully performed pieces from them both, as if they had worked together for years. Having played various gorgeous pieces throughout, at the end, he gave us his adaptation of Vaughan Williams Lark Ascending which was just beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble and I have received so many letters from people attending who said how much they enjoyed the music that day. Thank you Gareth for everything you did. I would always recommend you, because music is in your bones, you play like a dream and are an utter professional. Frances"

"Robert played a lovely selection of music - some of our choosing, some of his and some of the residents' requests. Most popular with the older people were his medley of war-time songs and some Frank Sinatra tunes whereas we marginally younger folk enjoyed the Beatles medley. The organ concert made a very pleasant occupation for a cold, early-winter afternoon. We would highly recommend Robert Baker for such a function and maybe next time we'll invite his wife along to come and sing with/for the residents, too. "

"James accompanied our choir in a challenging French programme which included Durufle Gloria (Messe Cum Jubilo) and Poulenc Gloria. The organ was also a challenge, being a Victorian mechanical action with rear view mirror. James was unflappable in his approach. He was very easy to work with and put in an excellent performance which enhanced the singers with colourful registration and rhythmic energy. Thoroughly recommended. "

"Gareth played for my wedding at very short notice. He is very professional, easy to work with and an excellent organ player. He played some difficult organ music, accompanied a singer and also learnt a piece of music for me at about 48 hours notice then played it brilliantly. Guests at the wedding commented on how good his organ playing was. Highly recommended!"

"We were really impressed with Des. He had come via recommendation from a family member and he even exceeded the superlative reviews I'd received! Des is an excellent live performer with a great blend of smooth jazz, classical and so on producing a seamless hour of entertainment delights. Des provides a great service. Reasonably priced and very willing to accommodate the client's needs. He came with his own equipment and is prepared for any occasion. He's well worth a booking."

"Gareth usually plays once a month at our church services in Dorking - First Church of Christ, Scientist in Moores Road. He is always prompt, very helpful and communicates well with all our members and visitors. His expertise as a pianist, organist and accompanist is at the highest level. We are extremely grateful to have Gareth as one of our artists and would love to have him play our new Clavinova more often!"

"Ben accompanied my daughter at a recent violin rehearsal. He was extremely professional - warm, kind and welcoming to us and incredibly accommodating when booking a practice appointment. He is clearly a very talented musician but with extra skill in helping young children feel comfortable very quickly. Highly recommend!"
