"Amy and Tolek made a wonderful contribution to Mum's funeral service. Amy spent some time ensuring she was using the correct versions of the hymns and songs and the guitar accompaniment by Tolek gave a more gentle and intimate feeling. It was all we had wished for. Thank you. "

"OMG! Blown away by the long list of song choices but I opted for 3 surprise sets based around my favourite artists. On the day, Jimmy and the band were there before me and had already set everything up. We quickly introduced one another and that was all I needed to do. I was 100% able to enjoy my birthday without having to micro manage, he read the room at every opportunity and I had nothing but amazing comments on them. Having live music is just something else and the dance floor was packed! Thank you Eccentric Pony for making my birthday so special "

"Thank you so much for the beautiful music! All of our guests absolutely loved the songs you played & it kept them hugely entertained while waiting for the ceremony. I was sorry we were late walking down the aisle. The planned timings didn’t quite go to plan. I hugely appreciated how you kept the guests thoroughly entertained while waiting. They all said how upbeat and beautiful sounding you were. A massive thank you from both of us. Natalya, your music made the ceremony extra special and romantic! it really did, absolutely beautiful"

"I first encountered The Tuning Forks fairly recently, at a 200 capacity independent venue in the Strathbungo area of Glasgow. I was there as House Audio Tech and it was one of those nights where before the soundcheck had even commenced, I had a sense that something pretty special was about to happen. The individual tones they delivered during soundcheck were staggeringly rich and I knew that once the faders were at unity and the ensemble played as a unit that my initial instinct had to be correct. I was NOT prepared for the emotive, playful and dare I say, danceable set which we were treated to. Like an organism made of limbs that mostly supported each other without obstruction, ego or flashiness, but with occasional forays into wild and feral territories; always as a unit and simultaneously bubbling like a pot on the stage with sudden bursts of joyous phrase manipulation or flurries of individual hyper-expression that always teased and never outstayed their welcome. I was left shellshocked and almost lost for words immediately following their performance. Frivolity, lullabying, romance, questing, struggle, sadness, ecstasy and introspection seemed to come like waves from the stage but, the overall feeling was that the explorations I was witness to were a fun and gentle love letter to the magic of the life experience. In summation… There are very few artists that inspire me to lower my inhibitions enough to literally ASK to work with them again as soon as possible… but that’s exactly what was called for!"

"I love to hear Isobel sing and would not miss an opportunity to do so. I have heard her intimate dinner sets with solo guitar, party sets with electric quartets and jam with all comers. She has a beautiful, affecting voice on ballads and always works with the ensemble. She holds a room and clearly loves her work."

"I just wanted to say thank you to you and the band for playing at our wedding. You guys were fab! Everyone loved it, it was such a great way to get people dancing. I thought your caller was great, she explained things very well."

"They were absolutely brilliant - they sung without any back up and their voices filled the room. I recommend them highly."

"We were so glad that H&S could step in last minute to play music for the evening of our wedding day and they even played a few of our requests! They began with laid back classics that got everyone in the mood, building up to a set of upbeat party music that we all loved dancing and singing along to. They have great personalities and will surely make anyone’s special day even more memorable!"

"Hi Rory, I can't thank you enough for your performance on Saturday night. We absolutely loved it and lots of friends have been asking me who you were because they loved it too! You created just the right atmosphere at the start, it really got the party going and then the RnB towards the end was just fabulous - I love live music and you made the party for me! It was everything I had hoped for and more. You really tailored the music to what we had requested. You and Lilli were totally professional liaising with me beforehand, arriving when you said you would and trying to accommodate all our wishes. I just wish you could have stayed for longer! Thank you both - I will have to think of an excuse to book you again! Amanda"

Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! Really glad to know you felt everything was as you requested. It was a pleasure from our side, and we certainly enjoyed entertaining you and your guests. I have passed on your kind comments to Lilli. Meanwhile, I would like to once again thank you for the opportunity, and I send you our warmest wishes. Please don’t hesitate to contact Pete should you require our services on another occasion! Many thanks, Rory
