"Good selection of music but it was generally too loud. This could have been because the hall was longer side to side than the width where your combo was playing. Maybe a better sound evaluation ( not sure what the proper term is ) opposite where you are actually playing would enable a better volume appreciation for the assembled guests."

"Michael was the organist for our wedding, and we could not be happier with his services. He knew all the songs we asked of him, was early to the church (which on a stressful day was a godsend), was smartly attired. He was also very polite and kept good communication from the moment we made an enquiry. Would happily deal with again. "

"We booked Mr G at short notice as our church organist was not up to playing the Widor toocata as he said it was an impossible piece on an impossible organ ! meh to that!! Gareth came over to meet us for coffee and then we went to the church so he could play us all the options. Just WOW to this virtuoso who made the organ come alive with his vibrant, professional and dynamic playing. My Parents have been going to that church for 27 years and said they didn't even know the organ could make those sounds. It is staggering that Gareth is not an international recitalist for he told us that Widor Toccata is actually a small piece of cake which a lot of ORGANISTS cannot be bothered to decipher...before launching into the exit music (Widor) at full pelt, full volume, from memory and with an omnipresent grin as he did it. This man oozes music and personality in bucket loads. He lifted the hymns to a new level and played all our favourite movie songs somehow in the register signing without the old vicar even realising it was happening haha Gareth is a total professional, thorough, disciplined, experienced and an extremely charming and witty guy as well. IT IS NO SURPRISE that he has over 120 ratings and fab reviews - he is an exceptional organist and musician and when we met him and heard the first few notes flow from him we knew we had made the correct decision. Wedding couples PLEASE try and book Gareth if you can - he is a true marvel and as one reviewer said 'the 8th wonder of the world' Thank you so much G and we will email you some photos from the day as we made sure the photographer took a few of you especially in that dapper tie !!"

"Sam played at my daughter’s wedding last week. His communication was excellent and he sent me hymn suggestions and always replied to texts and emails. He played wonderfully and was extremely accommodating to all requests. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Sam who is a very talented and experienced organist. "

"We needed a keyboard player to play at my son and daughter in law's wedding. I had no hesitation in asking Des. He was able to play the tunes that they had asked perfectly. Des blended the music perfectly to match the occasion and created a perfect atmosphere."

"Sam played at our wedding last week. He was very knowledgable about the music that we wanted and nothing seemed to much for him. He accomodated quite a few changes to the repetoire in the weeks leading up to the wedding which was brilliant and even sourced some sheet music the night before as I hadn't been able to get hold of any! A lovely chap and very accomplished orgainist, would highy recommend to anyone. Thank you."

"Goodness me this guy is good! If you want to have passion, enthusiasm, joy and life in your musician, then look no further. Des is an extremely talented musician able to play anything that you can imagine - so if you're worried about genre, then don't. Aside from Des' perfoming abilities he is also thoughtful and dependable. I'd thoroughly recommend him and can honestly say that I've always enjoyed working with him."

"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.

"My husband and I are so fortunate to have had Mark be our pianist. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgable and flexible. He has a broad repertoire of music and was able to play all the songs we requested for our church ceremony without any issues. In addition, he was able to keep our guests hugely entertained whilst playing at our reception drinks. Would highly recommend him. "

"Gareth played at our wedding in Chiswick on 20th June 2015 and we can't praise him enough. We had a church service with two choirboys, Gareth went through the options with us all and worked with the boys to make them feel comfortable. Gareth not just an accomplished musician but a lovely guy to work with. We highly recommend him. Colm and Rebecca. "
