"Adrian stepped in for my MD and he was a total delight to work with. My shows cover literally every genre of music and nothing was too hard and no genre was a challenge for Adrian. I look forward to working with Adrian again."

"We are so grateful to Nigel for the absolutely perfect soundtrack to our wedding breakfast, no words can fully capture how much his music added to our day. From the moment he began playing, Nigel created an atmosphere that was warm, elegant and full of joy. The music flowed beautifully throughout the meal and it genuinely enhanced every moment without ever overpowering conversation or the atmosphere. So many of our guests commented on how lovely and memorable the music was, and how perfectly it complemented the couple of hours we spent together with the people we love most in the world. Nigel’s playing was heartfelt, expressive and wonderfully tasteful which was exactly the right balance of soul, emotion and celebration. His ability to read the room, adapt to the moment and provide such a thoughtful, uplifting soundtrack was incredible. Whether it was the gentle background pieces during introductions and first courses, or the slightly livelier melodies later on, every note felt intentional and special. Not only was his performance beautiful, but Nigel himself was a joy to have, he was warm, friendly and professional from start to finish. He was attentive in the lead-up, easy to communicate with, and such a calm and welcoming presence on the day. If you’re looking for music that feels timeless, full of heart and uniquely tailored to your wedding, we absolutely recommend Nigel. His music didn’t just fill the room; it added another layer of emotion and beauty to one of the most meaningful parts of our day. Thank you, Nigel; we, and all of our guests, loved absolutely every moment of your music."

"We couldn't be happier with the set Chris did for us on our wedding day, great performer and everyone enjoyed the music. Chris was great at staying in touch ahead of the event checking what songs we like/don't like, he learned a new song for our first dance which he performed really well. Chris was extremely helpful and accommodating. We really recommend booking him for your event. "

"Nigel played during our wedding reception and ceremony at Chicheley Hall. Nigel was thoroughly professional, enthusiastic and courteous. Could not have asked for a better musician to create the ambiance we were looking for. Put in extra effort to play our requested song and kept us updated beforehand."

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for a brilliant afternoon! Everyone absolutely loved it and they're still talking about it. My neighbours spoke to us yesterday and said they really enjoyed it too ha ha! One of them was sat as close to the fence as they could get to listen in :) Thanks so much again Billy, and we'll see you again soon!"

"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 Sophie for our wedding in The Lake District 11.07.2024 and we're so glad that we did, her voice is truly incredible. Sophie learnt a particular song (Foo Fighters - Everlong)which we had requested and she put her own spin on it and it was amazing. Everyone at our wedding was saying how beautiful she sang and how she absolutely made the day. For signing the register we requested Sophie sang her own song “Sunny” and it was so fitting. Sophie you are the sweetest girl and bring such a relaxed vibe. If you book Sophie for your wedding or event I promise you will not be dissapointed. Thank you Sophie!"

"We are delighted to have involved Ellie in a charity ball we organised with 400 people attending. Ellie helped us right from the moment we made contact from choosing the type of music to suit the event through to putting on an outstanding performance that was enjoyed by all. We were amazed that one artist could deliver calm pre-dinner music and then after dinner go upbeat and certainly got people dancing. Thanks again Ellie and we wouldn't hesitate to book you again. "

"Chris piped at my daughter’s wedding to welcome the guests to the ceremony and then piped my daughter into the venue. Our guests were so pleased to have a piper welcome them as it is always emotional hearing the bagpipes played so well. My daughter could hear Chris from her guest house close by and that was so lovely to be waiting to come to your wedding with the pipes in the background. Chris was lovely to deal with and was the only person to personally phone me when we were scouting for a piper. He also followed up the week before to make sure everything was going to be perfect for us. A great musician and we loved having him at our special day. "

"At this moment I am playing your beautiful CD’s remembering this time last year when I was busy sorting out arrangements for our wedding, and laughing to ourselves at all the things that happened along the way and that day. You are one of my happiest memories. I have been thinking of you lately and I do hope you are busy work wise, just a note to say you make people happy and trigger memories. "

"We booked Rowan to play for our wedding several weeks ago in a small church in Edinburgh. He played lovely Irish and Scottish tunes while the guests came into the church and found their seats, which everybody in our small party of 30 loved, my mother especially! He then played a beautiful slow air for myself to walk up the aisle to, a tune that I had never heard before but now will remember forever since it suited the moment so perfectly. After the ceremony was over, it was once again back to the more lively stuff for everybody to leave to, as we headed off to our reception. The music was beautifully played and tastefully selected, and so myself and my new husband would highly recommend Rowan for anybody's wedding day. "
