"Oh my goodness ! What a superb musician and virtuoso organist. Gareth spent so much time e-discussing all the options for music and hymns and made wonderful suggestions. He also proof read our order of service as he is an extremely experienced organist and concert planner. It was a good job he did as he spotted 13 errors which we were able to correct before going to print. He did ALL these extra things and email discussions without any further costs. He was courteous, amazingly PROMPT to reply (usually within 30 mins !!!) and extremely witty in our dialogue. When we heard him play we could not believe how wonderfully he lifted the music for our wedding All our guests also remarked on the excellent hymn playing and superb exit music. We were able to meet him f2f before we left and he is a perfectly charming as well as exceptionally gifted man. WEDDING COUPLES - BOOK THIS MAN if you can as you will not be disappointed. GARETH is a wonderful guy ! Thanks again G for making our musical day perfect xx"

"I hired Shean to play for a vocal exam and couldn’t have asked for a more responsive and flexible accompanist. He displayed a deep knowledge of different types/eras of literature and made some excellent recommendations regarding tempi and phrasing which positively influence the outcome of the exam. I would happily work with Shean again and highly recommend him to others."

"Gareth Giles is a SUPERB organist who led our service recently with aplomb and at very short notice ! Gareth your choice of tempi, colorful registrations and amazing harmonies for the last verses (! Bairstow, eat your heart out !) coupled with a superb empathy for the poetic flow of the hymnody truly inspired our congregation to sing confidently and rhythmically. Many members commented on your wonderful extemporisation facility before and during the service and your Rheinberger postlude at the conclusion of the worship was incredible. We have never before heard the organ played with such power, dynamism and virtuosity. You are a truly gifted Church Musician and we look forward to seeing you again at some point. Thank you again from the whole community, here. "

"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."

"Laurence, thank you so much for playing at George's christening. Not only was your playing excellent but I also really appreciate your patience and adaptability given l didn't give you a huge amount of information beforehand - you certainly made the process very stress free for me and we will certainly use you again in the future should we need anything else playing in the church.

"We asked Des to play the organ at our wedding on 2nd September at Cambray Baptist Church. From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and an utter professional. He didn't bat an eyelid when we asked him to play complex and unusual music and seemed to know all the old fashioned hymns we requested. When the bride was late it didn't phase him and he played continually for over 30 minutes. He mastered the Sound of Music Wedding Processional and the Can Can as well as lots of hymns. He turned up for the rehearsal and on the day was absolutely wonderful. He is extraordinarily talented and a wonderful unflappable musician. We thoroughly recommend Des - he will not let you down! "

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing at our wedding (November 2015)! Mark was so helpful and professional every time that we dealt with him. He was happy to play all of our crazy requests and did a great job on the day. The music was beautiful and our guests loved it! "

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark

"Mark, thank you so much for your superb playing at our wedding. It made the ceremony so special for us both. There are some good photo's on our photographers website - she caught all the organ action!"

Lovely comments Ben, yes the photographer really captured some good pictures of the organ. I have used one for my main caption on this site, showing my hands on the manuals of the organ! Good luck to you both for the future.

"Mark is a very experienced pianist and he can absolutely add wonderful atmosphere to the wedding. We only had a few conversations before our wedding, and we sent 20-30 list of songs only several weeks prior to the wedding date. Some of the songs were from China and Mark played perfectly by following the list. I am really suprised that Mark can play it all and he played amazingly. Again, lot of thanks, we felt lucky by inviting Mark as our wedding pianist. "

"Des came to our Volunteer Thank You Party in June. He made the process so easy from booking to arrival and set up. He was very accommodating to our needs and the atmosphere that we were trying to create. A very talented gentleman who played a variety of songs and instruments throughout our event. Would definitely use Des for our music again and recommend him to anybody! Thanks again Des!"
