"We had a guitarist booked for my dads 70th Birthday, who cancelled at the last minute... Well me and my 5 brothers and sisters were devastated.. Anyway, I contacted Marc who stepped up with no notice whatsoever.. He was completely fantastic, he was supposed to play 2, 45minute slots but played the whole evening, and only stopped because we forced him too, (to eat).. Marc learnt a whole new bunch of songs just for us, in only 2 weeks and they sounded like he'd known them forever. My family (especially my dad) got very emotional on a few of them... I will be definitely using Marc again. A genuinely lovely and talenented young man. Thank you Marc... You made my dads birthday extra special... Belinda x "

Thank you so much for having me. It was really special playing Unchained Melody as your parents danced gently-a moment I will hold for a very long time. See you again soon :) x

"Talk of the Day !!!! Emilie sang during the signing of the register at our wedding on the 25th of January 2020; with over 100 guests Emilie brought the 13th century church to a standstill. With what can only be described as a jaw-dropping performance my Mayoral Chaplin has never seen a standing ovation given by a wedding congregation in over 50 years of officiating at weddings. Mr William Routley - Mayor of Newport "

"Constance played at our golden wedding anniversary dinner to an audience of friends and relatives. She was very friendly, professional and played a wide range of music from the shows including Gilbert & Sullivan. Our guests gave us great feedback on the performance of Constance. Accordingly, we would have no hesitation in recommending her."

"Amazing amazing amazing! Billy played for our Harringworth, playing as we and our guests came out of the church and then escorted everyone to the drinks reception. EVERYBODY commented on how special the pipes were, and loved the nod to the family’s heritage. Billy’s communication was spot on throughout the whole process, and I genuinely feel like I’ve gained a friend. Super talented in what he does, wish we could do it all again. Would recommend time and time again. Thank you so much Billy!! "

"We have now had the pleasure of hiring Gary's Caribbean Steel Drum Band on two occasions. On both occassions our guests were very impressed, as were we and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Their music is "happy" music and with it comes the "sunshine" even though it was a rainy Saturday in May 2012. Thank you for making my husband's birthday party one to remember."

"Madhu MADE my birthday party. From the first contact discussing my preferred music to the night itself. She made the event so special with great energy, immense musical skills and just knowing exactly which songs to play responding to the mood of the people there. She got everyone dancing. Couldn't recommend her enough. Brilliant "

"What can I say about this man. A true professional. His friendly manner and amazing bagpipe skills are second to none. We got married on August 7th 2021 at Newark Castle and Gardens. My dream had been to have a piper at my wedding with the wedding march to the sound of Highland Cathedral. What an outstanding tune played by an accomplished piper. Being Scottish and wearing an Isle of Skye tartan wedding dress he took my breath away. I'm always proud to be Scottish but my wedding day was beyond my dreams. Thank you Billy for attending our wedding and making my dream come true. Would recommend you to anyone in a heartbeat xx"
