"What a fantastic day! Getting the right music is one of the most important factors when planning an event so we were so lucky to be able to hire Kit for our golden wedding tea party. There were songs to suit everyone’s taste and who doesn’t like to hear a good saxophonist on a lovely sunny afternoon! Nothing but compliments and happy faces and would definitely like to use Kit again."

Thanks Val! It was indeed a fantastic day. So pleased that the weather was kind to us! Your consideration and hospitality was excellent and I'm delighted that it went down well with all your friends and family. Do feel free to use me again as soon as you can find another excuse! All the best - Kit.

"Nigel was fantastic. He has such a large repertoire of songs at his disposal, but when we decided that we would like something not on his list, he learnt a song specifically for us. On the day, we let him chose the music and made some suggestions. Everyone loved it. A highlight of our wedding was some of our guests with their children all dancing to his songs. He was incredibly professional, and we thoroughly enjoyed having him be such a crucial part of our day."

"You were so amazing! I'm genuinely so disappointed I didn't get to hear more of you and wish we'd had a videographer just to capture you! Our guests said you were wonderful."

" > The singer provided a wonderful performance that was thoroughly enjoyed by our residents and staff. Their voice was clear, engaging, and well-suited to the setting, with a song choice that brought back fond memories and encouraged residents to join in. They interacted kindly and respectfully with everyone, creating a relaxed and uplifting atmosphere throughout the visit. The performance had a very positive impact on residents’ mood and wellbeing, and we would happily welcome them back to perform again in the future."

"As always... I leave everything to the last minute, and needed to organise music for a 50th Birthday. I contacted Chris having searched for a solo guitarist, and he got back to me very quickly... Shortly all was sorted. It was a fantastic afternoon of tunes (and a little rain), and Chris was great... even on a few requests! He's a great singer/musician and would fully recommend him. Thanks Chris for such a great afternoon!"

"From initial contact to the final note, Nigel was an absolute pleasure to work with. His talent is undeniable; a truly gifted musician. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process, making the booking seamless and stress-free. The repertoire was vast, offering a wide range of choices to suit any taste, and the willingness to learn a special song for my daughter's 18th birthday was above and beyond. Nigel's personable nature added a special sparkle to the party; he was a delightful presence and created a wonderful atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend him – you won't be disappointed!"

"We are a classical singing duo and have recently worked with Adrian on our Christmas EP & album, it was a two day recording session. Adrian was our musical director & pianist, we honestly can say we have never worked with better. From start to finish Adrian made everything run smoothly. His arrangements ranged from beautiful strings to more upbeat pop songs. Both he did better than we ever could have imagined. We contacted Adrian with a tight time scale and he managed to arrange songs very quickly & efficiently! We would absolutely recommend him to anybody! Without his input we would not have completed our album to anywhere near the same standard as it is!"

"Jenny came along to our Jubilee picnic on Thursday 2nd June 2022, with a broad selection of songs from the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. She was superb. In perfect tune, with costume changes for each period, a consummate professional with a wonderful smile and excellent audience interaction. We would definitely recommend Jenny for similar events. Thank you for making our event extra special Jenny"

"Nigel was an excellent addition to our wedding. He played during our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast adding a lovely touch to each for a nice ambiance. Received lots of comments from guests about his excellent music which was varied. Would throughly recommend if looking to add some live background music during your day!"

Thank you so much for booking me to perform at your wedding and for such a lovely review. It was such a pleasure. You two looked amazing, and Chicheley Hall was such a wonderful setting.

"The evening ended with the talents of Vernon Fuller. A versatile, virtuoso guitarist, Vernon switched easily between jazz, blues and acoustica, with catchy songs and a magnetic stage presence. He enlisted the help of a harmonica player in the audience at one point, and then got all of us to join in on some of his songs too. His songs were hugely enjoyable, and you can buy his music via his website; for us, in fact, it was his (semi-improvised?) experimental instrumental with delay pedal that really blew us away and in many ways was the highlight of our evening."

"Lucy Ann played at our wedding ceremony and reception and all our guests were blown away by her magical voice. Lucy was an absolute delight to work with, understanding of any changes and was perfect for us, our day & guests. We would absolutely recommend Lucy 100% to anyone looking to book an artist - thank you for making our day so special x"

"Francesca was wonderful, she sang all of our favourite songs beautifully and made our event extra special. She also suggested that she make announcements where needed (that we hadn't thought of) and made my mum feel super special. She was very professional and engaging. I would definitely recommend Francesca for any event!"
