Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"I wanted someone to provide popular music, without vocals, and having listened to Joe’s sample recordings, I engaged his services. I have to say, I was not disappointed - Joe played a wide variety of tunes for 4 hours, and there were many favourable comments from guests. HIGHLY recommended - he would be my first choice for any future event."

"What can I say apart from you are an absolute star and consummate gentleman! Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to the success of our special day. From our first conversation on the telephone I knew you were the perfect choice for us. You are not only an accomplished performer you had a real and human interest in getting the day right for all of us. Such thought and attention to detail is rare - the ability to look at all sides, potential problems and offer suggestions in a manner that we welcomed is even more elusive. You have it all and we hope very much that you realise your value. Your appearance, stance and demeanour were perfect - so many of our guests commented on those aspects that had you not even raised the pipe I suspect you would have still spread joy - however your playing was beautiful and so right for the occasion. We must commend you on your ability to quite simply keep going during the playing in of the guests to the reception - there were so many to greet and the lay person has little idea regarding the physical demands on the Piper. After the event we were spoken to by a good number of guests who simply wanted to tell us how much the Piper had delighted them. One guest said 'it was my favourite part of the day' - he had found it most uplifting as did many others. We will be receiving our photographs soon and will make sure that we send you a couple of nice ones that you can use for your website. We were so lucky to find you Richard. "

Our guests absolutely loved the performance and thoroughly enjoyed listening to Antony's amazing voice. Thank you to both Antony and Nikki for coming all the way to Kent, and we very much look forward to working with you both in the future."

"We booked Kirsty for our wedding and we are so glad we did. We asked for an acoustic set and a DJ set, and she delivered on both! She was friendly and great to deal with, and nailed the vibe we were going for – we would book again! Thanks so much Kirsty."

"We thank you for your massive contribution to what was a brilliant night and one that Keira said she will always remember. We are only too happy to recommend you and feel free to approach us at any time if there is anything we can do to help. "Rory played the saxophone at my daughter’s 21st birthday party and it is no exaggeration to say that his contribution was a massive factor in a hugely successful evening. First and perhaps most importantly, Rory is highly personable and works so incredibly hard. He seemed to perform non-stop all evening and always at such a high standard. His enthusiasm and energy were absolutely brilliant and so many of our guests were highly complimentary about him, with some still talking about him a week later." Thank you so much Rory and I know that wherever you play you will really make a hugely positive difference. John & Paula, Birthday Party, Rory @ Private House, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, August, 2024"

Hi John, I hope you had a fantastic bank holiday weekend in Paris! I trust you got a chance to enjoy some of the Paralympics while you were there—it must have been an incredible experience. Thank you so much for your kind feedback regarding Keira’s 21st birthday party. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that the music contributed to such a memorable evening. Knowing that Keira, her friends, and family had a great time really means the world to me. It was truly a pleasure working with you all and being part of such a special milestone. I’m also incredibly grateful for the wonderful testament you provided. Your words are very much appreciated, and I’m delighted that my performance made such a positive impact. It’s always rewarding to hear that my energy and enthusiasm were well-received. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to [agency] if there’s anything else I can do, or if you ever need live music for future events. I’d be more than happy to collaborate again! Sending you my very best wishes. All the best, Rory

I think you just created such a special atmosphere that it set us up nicely for the rest of the day. So thank you for that, we’ll be forever grateful. "

"Rachel is just amazing. Gorgeous, professional, talented, down to earth and above all else does exactly what you ask and in a very kind and friendly manner. Rachel has recently done two events for me. The first being a charity event and the second, singing (unfortunately), at my mother's funeral. On both occasions she sung exactly how I wanted and what I wanted. Rachel learnt specific songs in advance and performed them faultlessly. Both events worked so much better with having Rachel there to sing and she was loved by everyone who listened to her. I would highly recommend without a second of hesitation and she will be performing for me at a business event soon and I just can't wait! Just go ahead and take Rachel for your up and coming event…you will not be disappointed and you will be astounded by her vocal performance. "

"WOW….. Where to start? So, Andrew was very helpful when I enquired about having him play at my 21st Birthday garden party in July, we both set up a scheduled phone call so we both understood each other’s ideas and queries for the day. Andrew was more than happy to help out by bringing extra supplies which might be beneficial to me and him which I thought was a nice touch and very professional. Once we were all set Andrew was quick with his communication with back and forth emailing in which he sent me over a list of songs I could choose from months before the day so I had lots of time to choose and for him to practice. The song list was pages full of any type of genre and song, in which some songs ment he needed to bring his bigger Sax to use which he had no issues with. I was also able to request certain songs too which I thought was brilliant and allowed me to have some of my favourite songs played at the party which might not have been on the list. Both me and Andrew emailed back and forth multiple times up until the day of the event which was great as I knew if I had any questions I could just ask beforehand. Andrew arrived on the day with more than enough time ready to set up and prepare to start. WOW, I couldn’t believe the talent when he started playing, it was amazing to hear live music again after having so long without it due to lockdown. My friends and family had an amazing time and really enjoyed the different song selections there were and that there were songs for everyone. Andrew stayed for hours and was more than happy to carry on until near the end of the night which kept the party going. I also really appreciated this as he had a long travel home. Me, my friends and family danced the whole night away and enjoyed every minute of having Andrew play, he really did make my party so special after planning and preparing for the day for so long. I still look back through my videos and photos and I’m so grateful to of had him there playing. Andrew also brang microphones with him which once we had a few drinks we couldn’t get off them, we had such a blast. Andrew was very attentive throughout the night and let me choose songs to play next and checked with noise levels etc. Since my party I’ve had so many people note how amazingly talented he was as well and how kind and professional he was on the night with me and the guests. It really was the most amazing day/night and I couldn’t give Andrew any critiques! 10/10! Will be most definitely booking Andrew again in the near future! Ellie"
