Review Centre: Pianists (Classical)

"We engaged Mark to play for us during our annual conference dinner in the stunning Victorian Gallery of Leicester's New Walk Museum. It was wonderful to hear the gentle sounds of the piano on our arrival as we made our way to the gallery. Mark then continued to play for us whilst having our early evening drinks and then during the meal itself. He thoughtfully kept the lid in place on the museum's grand piano so he did not drown out our conversation, but instead provided a delightful backdrop to it. Mark offered to play requests for us but we did not take him up on this; instead we trusted him to find the right pieces for the evening. He played a wide range of material, including classical favourites, famous film scores, and the latest hits. He set just the right tone for the evening, with the piano offering a delightful accompaniment to our dinner. In such a beautiful setting, we all thought Mark's playing had really made our evening. We really did appreciate it, thank you so much! "

"We thoroughly enjoyed the process of planning our wedding music with Nigel. He was professional and friendly throughout, even accommodating our request for a specific piece of music that had meaning for our family. Having live music for guest arrival and during the ceremony set the tone for the day and was certainly more relaxing and enjoyable than it would have been relying on someone operating a pre recorded playlist. I should add that Nigel's keyboard skills are excellent and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. Thank you Nigel"

"David is such a talented musician! I can tell he has extensive knowledge of the instrument but despite this he still took the time to get to know the songs so he was prepared. Would highly recommend his services and can’t wait to hire him again in the future! "

"I just wanted to say a big "thank you" for playing on Sunday. Pat (the birthday girl) loved it, and keeps talking about how perfect the music was. It really made the atmosphere of the day. Thank you also for including some of her favourites after our very last minute request. We will highly recommend you to anyone considering a pianist for their event. Many thanks. Hannah Banks"

"The Kentwood Choir has used Mark as a synth player for many years. As a member of the choir, I can certain vouch for Mark's skill and professionalism - an outstanding musician that truly adds a certain magic to our performances, in particular to large audiences at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. If you're looking for a great musician, look no further!"

Thanks for your lovely feedback Will, I've been playing for Kentwood for 21 years now. I always look forward to the shows and 'orchestrating' the band - and it's always great to play in the Wyvern Theatre.

"Simon was just wonderful at a 70th birthday I held on 16th April 2016. He was smiley/charismatic, professional and of course an impeccable pianist. I will be using him for all my future functions. "

"Hi Matt - just wanted to thank you again for your efforts yesterday. We had so many compliments on how good you were and how special you made our evening. Many people have taken your details from me so I hope you get some repeat business. Many thanks again. Jack and Aimee"

Hi both - it was such an exquisitely presented party. I am glad to have had the chance to add to the atmosphere 🙏

"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."

"Matt has been amazing from the very start, we planned our wedding in under 4 months and were so glad Matt was available to play on our Wedding day. He learned some very special pieces of music close to us for the day and played so beautifully. We were so pleased we chose Matt and absolutely recommend him to any couples looking for a Piano player at their Wedding! Thank you Matt "

"Wonderful musicianship, friendly, accommodating and willing. Robbie is a charming person. In the months preceding our wedding he spoke with us on the phone so we could all talk over what would be good and what would be possible. On the actual day his timekeeping was immaculate; his playing helped build just the atmosphere we wanted during our meal; he included a last minute request from a guest in his repertoire and his whole performance was brilliant."
