Last Minute Musicians Reviews

"Sounds Interesting gave Gateway audience something of a shock and something to think about as well as enjoy. We did not all realise the breadth and scope of Elgar’s music until hearing the splendid piano quintet, played with such verve and delicacy by Sounds Interesting led by Anne Tupling. In addition to giving such a pleasure the concert raised £212 for Comic Relief – good result all round   Muriel "

"In my time as the general manager of The One O’clock Gun, I was able to work with a number of outstanding local musical talents and Mike was by far one of the stand-out performers. My team and I were all in agreement after his first gig that, along with his soothing vocals, his guitar abilities are outstanding and we wanted to have him back ASAP! Mike soon after became a regular in our weekly line up and his talents seemed to grow each time he played, Mike’s ability to read a room and tailor his sets accordingly was very impressive, as well as this he always had new material to boast where most other performers had a limited and repetitive set list and this is a massive advantage in his industry. To top it all off, Mike’s an extremely friendly, professional and punctual artist who I have kept in touch with and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a top talent."

"Ian performed at our wedding during the drinks reception and dinner; we could not have asked for a more accomplished or professional musician. He created a relaxed, friendly and entertaining atmosphere for all of our guests, many of whom complemented us on our choice of musician. Our only regret was that, in hindsight, we did not book him for longer! "

"We hired Jack to play at our private event, we specifically asked for 60’s and 70’s and he didn’t disappoint, he played all the songs that the group love. Strongly recommend and will be hiring again for our next event."

"Duncan was everything I had hoped for. I booked him very last minute and he was so helpful and kind and then when it came to the event..he played every song wonderfully + more. I am thrilled with how it all went and so happy to have found him. I wouldnt hesitate to ask Duncan again. He is brilliant."

"We booked Vera Voce for our wedding which was 20th August 2022. We had previously got to see her perform at a local jazz club and loved her from the start going back again when she was performing. She is a very lovely, friendly young lady. Vera Voce blew us away when she sang at our wedding. A perfect choice to entertain our guests and add that personal touch. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone who wants to make their occasion special. A beatiful voice and person. Thank you so much Vera Voce. "

"Revelation Strings played at our wedding at Hotel du Vin Tunbridge Wells in August 2014. Four extremely talented musicians. They were absolutely amazing; playing everything requested. They learnt two new pieces especially for the wedding and played them beautifully. They also accompanied Jerusalem and a solo performance of Let There Be Love. Their playing really made our wedding day special and I would highly recommend."

"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire. "

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"Thank you for playing during our special day. Your playing really was the icing on the cake which made it all the more special. You sounded amazing, we received so many compliments about your playing and had so many comments about how long you played for without a break! We would especially like to thank you for being there but not there if that makes sense, it was great how you moved around yet were non-intrusive. I would highly recommend to anyone to have music at their wedding and would definitely recommend you. "
