"An absolutely fantastic evening at Southsea Beach Cafe! We couldn't have wished for more perfect music to accompany our Beaujolais Evening."

"It's as hard to record a piano successfully as it is to play it - so firstly well done in selecting such an attractive range of music - so many favourites, all beautifully executed. But also bravo to your sound engineer and the Old Grannary people..... it's a true skill placing microphones in just perfect positions and balancing them so well: so as to create that lovely tone of yours that I have been enjoying so. Not too closely recorded (dry) nor too distantly either (wet). Perfect, undistorted tone. You must be very pleased and thankful - as we are, hearing this terrific recording of your piano playing. All captured here most successfully. Congratulations! "

"Huge thank you to Madu!! Mads was the star highlight of my mums 60th party a couple of weeks ago. This is now my second booking with Mads (a 60th and a hen party- just shows her range!!) and she makes the process easy from start to finish. 10/10 as always :):) xxxx"

"Just a short note to say how everybody really enjoyed Andrew singing at mums 90th party. A few people were literally reduced to tears at how good he was. Would you pass on to him our sincerest thanks for such a wonderful performance. I would certainly recommend him to anybody considering a similar event. Thank you also for your help organising the event and choice of songs. Mum was thrilled and hasn't stopped talking about it. "

"As a fellow musician, I can’t rate Adam highly enough. Professionalism, dedication and most of all an unbelievable musician and country singer. I haven’t heard any better country singers on the circuit. Book with confidence and bring country to your event cause he does it so well!"

"It is difficult to capture just how fabulous Lisa was before as well as on the day. She is such a lovely, fun and friendly woman. We really enjoyed working with her in planning the day and her singing down the phone to us as she explored various song suggestions will be a fond memory for us both... leaving us very excited for the day itself. We both love music, as do our families and put a lot of effort to line up some fantastic musical acts in addition to Lisa, including a 6 piece band and a solo guitarist we flew in from abroad. We also had a number of first class entertainers and performers....however despite this, the number one comment we had from every guest during the day and since has been the dramatic and hugely positive impression Lisa had on everyone. We almost felt bad our guests were giving her so much attention and trying to book her for their own events, including a lot of people who had already booked their musicians and were now having second thoughts!! We wanted the wow factor and Lisa certainly provides that. We can’t think of anyone we’ve ever seen musically who is so versatile and yet consistently high quality, indeed... top class. From classical church performances (she is very knowledgable and comfortable in working with you and your ceremony) ... she also learnt a particular piece for us that we’ve never heard covered and yet she delivered it as if it was her favourite song while also very much making it her own. Switching to a top class contemporary set during the drinks reception took everyone by surprise....and her true personality really came out when she switched into a medley of her own hip hop / original numbers blended with a traditional Irish music session, a sing off and an Irish dance combo. There is little to add to what others more qualified have already said in terms of her pure and incredible voice. Beyond this... to give you a sense of her capability... she was able to jam with another musician she only met on the day... to pick up, tune and play a new instrument (family heirloom banjo) as a special request.... to captivate 150 guests of all age ranges and from across the globe, and was able to keep our guests enthralled and enchanted with her for over 6 hours. We’ve met someone who we will enjoy following and listening to for the rest of our lives and who we will always feel lucky we were able to have share our special day. I suspect we will be going to see her gig and perform again very soon (if our guests don’t beat us to it first!). "

"We hired Mads for our engagement party and she is absolutely brilliant! She is so kind, organised and has great communication, she calls you prior to the event to check in and make sure you get the right songs and she is only too happy to add your requests into her set. On the night she absolutely smashed it, getting the party going and creating such a great vibe! Everyone at the party was saying how great the sax payer is and we will definitely be using Mads for future events! I cannot recommend Mads enough! "

"Robin came to play at my wife's 50th party. He was so amazing and really became part of the whole event. Our friends and family ranged from 10 upwards and his music appealed to all. His voice is beautiful and he plays both accoustic and electric guitar with ease. Robin worked on specific requests and my son and I did a song with him for my lovely wife Jo. I think Robin really engaged with all the superb people at the party...he kept on playing and did requests. So warm, sincere and polite. Everybody loved him. We would ask him to perform again without hesitation. Thanks Robin. We love youx "

"Eleanor was fantastic, she played beautifully and our guests thoroughly enjoyed her performance. She was really easy to liaise with in the lead up to the wedding. We’re already thinking what event we could book her for next. "
