Review Centre: Accordionists

"John played brilliantly at our small wedding reception. We had 30 guest in the Orangey, John's music was never over powering and created a beautiful ambiance. All our friends and family loved the music, as it created a relaxing atmosphere but also enabled those who wanted to dance to do so.... I would have John playing again in a heart beat! John was also very flexible as I asked to change the time he arrived a couple of days before the wedding. John truly made our wedding reception special."

"Claudio is a wonderfully talented accordionist. He played at the drinks reception for my daughter's wedding at Aynhoe Park and so many people commented on how much they loved his playing. He had a huge repertoire of accordion music from traditional French to classical and happily played requests. I particularly loved his excerpts from the Shostakovich Jazz Suite. Claudio is a friendly, cheerful man and is lovely to have around. "

"Unfortunately being the bride I missed part of Jonny's performance however my groom and guests have assured me he played beautifully. Jonny played for our guests before the ceremony, during the ceremony and our drinks reception. He played everything he said he would and it sounded absolutely wonderful. I had concerns about which pieces of music (especially played with an accordion) would be suitable for the ceremony itself and Jonny sent me sound clips of his suggested pieces. He did not disappoint, in fact I was so relived to have booked him, he settled my nerves from the moment we spoke as I'd had nightmares of iPods and sound systems letting me down. Jonny gave us the best of both worlds, a classical sound for the ceremony and more upbeat accordion music for the drinks reception. Again, our guests absolutely loved it, they were rather disappointed we hadn't booked him for the whole day. Booking and arrangements were hassle free and very straightforward and Jonny's requirements were easily accommodated, a chair and power socket. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering booking an accordionist, worth every penny."

"We hired Jonny Kerry to play accordian at our wedding during when the canapés and drinks were served. He was absolutely brilliant!!! My husband and I (and our guests) thought he was amazing! He played great songs and really helped create the vibe we were looking for. On a side note, I really appreciated how reliable Jonny was, he did everything he said he would, was contactable and really put our minds at ease. I would 100% recommend Jonny and also book him again. Thanks so much :) "

"From the first day I met Jonny I soon realised here was a passionate musician. I then discovered he could play almost anything on his accordion. Not only can he produce a variety of styles from French and Classical to Jazz and Swing but he could easily improvise around a couple of my own compositions. He kindly recorded a theme tune I wrote recently, accompanying me while I played the keyboard. The result has been fabulous due to his sensitive interpretation and romantic flair. If you'd like an atmosphere to be created for a special occasion I would strongly recommend Jonny Kerry. There is depth, ambience and cheerfulness in abundance."

"Pete helped to make my Grandad's surprise 100th birthday party celebrations really special. My Grandad used to play the accordion and he was thrilled with the surprise and was very impressed with Pete's instrument and accomplished playing. He played a wide range of music so the little ones enjoyed it too. I have never booked an accordionist for an event before, but I'd definitely book Pete again for a future event."

"After speaking to Colette we agreed that her quartet would play a mix of well known Irish songs and their own instrumentals. All our dealings with Colette were excellent, she was extremely friendly and professional and it was one of the least stressful aspects of organising the big day. The main thing is the music went down a storm, everyone was up dancing and enjoying themselves as the band were great. We can highly, highly recommend Colette's band. Thanks for being such a memorable part of our wedding day celebrations!' "

"John really made my boyfriend's 30th birthday! He came prepared with a fantastic Italian set list and played continuously for the full two hours on our birthday barge! He was wonderful to deal with, nothing was too much trouble, and he made the day truly memorable for all concerned. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to family/friends - in fact, I already have! "

"Jonny was just fantastic at setting the mood for our evening wedding party to celebrate our wedding which took place in Tuscany earlier in the year. The accordion was the perfect sound to take everyone back to the warmth of the Italian sun even on a cold November evening in England! We had lots of compliments on how great he was, so thank you! "

"The booking process was simple and fast. I found the staff very helpful and available. My bespoke request was no problem for them. The musicians were absolutely amazing! We honestly could not have been happier with Claudio and his mandolin player. They really were the stars of the show and everybody commented on how wonderful they were. They succeeded in creating the perfect atmosphere at my Italian themed wedding reception and even came into our wedding breakfast and played to the guest as they enjoyed their meals. It was such a nice touch that they went round the tables taking requests from the guests - their repertoire was extensive to say the least :) The really made our day all that more special - in fact it was my favourite part of the whole day and I mean that sincerely. I would highly recommend Claudio to anyone. Thanks so much Claudio and last minute musicians!"

"re Wedding at Candid Arts Trust, 3 Torrens St. London EC1V 1NQ - 2nd September 2006 "Thank you thank you for playing at our wedding! We had a truly fabulous evening, the music was excellent, the atmosphere was high and the dance floor was packed all night. Everyone commented on what talented musicians Colette's band were and the whole ambience of the evening including the sensitivity of the caller, helped our two families get to know each other. Thanks again." "

"I run a venue which hosts parties and promotional events for the alcohol and beverages industry. Mozel Tov Cocktails played at our celebration of the end of Prohibition. They did a stomping set well suited the event, and even mixed in some live electro-swing which went down a storm with the clients. We liked them so much we booked them again a few months later for the Glasgow Art School Archetects graduation ball. If you like totally authentic gypsy jazz and swing as well as bit of klezmer this is your band. In a nutshell: fun, dedicated, authentic virtuosic professionals."
