"My brother & sister-in-law kindly offered to pay for a musician to play at our marriage ceremony. We choose Tom Kelsey after listening to his U-Tube postings and thought he sounded good. We are pleased to say Tom arrived on time and played the grand piano in hotel beautifully, playing all the pieces we had chosen from his repertoire, at the required timings for our ceremony and the wedding breakfast afterwards. Tom's playing help set the atmosphere in the room for both parts of our special day, we cannot thank him enough - it was really beautiful playing and we would definitely recommend Tom to anyone else who is looking for a true professional. Thank you Tom you were brilliant and we could here the words to the music playing in our heads which meant so much to us."

"On 11th December 2023 Ian Geast Singer did two sets during and after lunch providing us with an enjoyable mix of Christmas, folk and sing along songs which we all enjoyed. Our event was held at The Lawn - Ian worked with the venue - setting up prior to guests arriving. I can highly recommend Ian, a great singer, a polite and professional musician."

"Marina is absolutely fabulous. She accompanied us on her Celtic harp for a slightly unique wedding ceremony. We had chosen a few pieces that were not part of her repertoire which she played beautifully. Her incredible skill and sensitivity added immense joy and depth to our ceremony, creating an atmosphere that was both enchanting and heartfelt. Marina’s contribution went above and beyond our expectations, making our special day even more memorable and magical. We couldn't have asked for a more talented and dedicated musician to be part of our celebration. 1/2 "

"Will played at our wedding as people arrived for the ceremony up until the speeches. Wow what can I say… he was just brilliant! Organising all the logistics with him was really easy. He took the time to listen to what we wanted and learnt new sets for us as well as specific pieces we wanted during the ceremony. His music was such a pleasure to listen to. We 100% recommend Will!"

"Neil and I would like to thank you for playing so beautifully at our wedding. Although we only heard a short part of your repertoire, we were so impressed with your playing. Other guests have told us how wonderful you were. Special thanks for learning the pieces that we had requested. That added so much to the occasion. I hope that you will add some of them to your repertoire. You were superb!"

"Loved working with James. He's very professional and experienced. He'll easily handle pretty much anything you ask of him. He's played church services, weddings, funerals, classical and more contemporary concert material. Fabulous accompanist but also very talented conductor, orchestra and choir leader. Deep dark sense of humour! If you've read this far - he's your musician, book him."

"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 used Richard for our wedding ceremony and he was brilliant. Prior to the event, he made sure he had a good idea of what type of music we wanted. I didn't get to speak to him properly on the day but my husband said he was lovely. The music was beautiful, the song choices were great and several guests even commented on how good he was. Highly recommend him."

"I've had Gareth accompany me multiple times for my music exams. Each time he has shown his amazing talent on the piano and helped me achieve great marks in the exams. Also, Gareth is extremely easy to work with and is very funny making it especially easy for him to put a smile on my face. For any future exams, I'll be sure to contact him as I know he won't let me down."
