"Sam was amazing in every way - he was accomodating with all song requests and played our ceremony and reception drinks beautifully! He was such a professional and entertaining performer. Even before we booked Sam, he accommodated every query I had - I including sending me a bespoke video of songs I wanted him to perform! Thank you so much Sam!"

"We had a fabulous afternoon with the music from Mark making it very special. He is excellent at judging what the guests like to hear and ours loved everything he played. We were in the garden, a balmy afternoon and when guests arrived to a glass of Pimms....Mark set such a relaxing and restful tone. Highly recommend him, friendly, very talented and so professional. We had a great day."

"Sebastian gave an utterly outstanding and beautiful performance. His playing was exemplary, and he was incredibly easy to work with. It was immediately clear that he is a highly skilled professional organist, so very little direction was needed. He was also wonderfully accommodating and helped make the day feel as spectacular and special as we had hoped. We are so grateful."

"Mark came and played for a Christening here at Stoke. He made the occasion truly wonderful! Brilliant organ playing, having to get here by 9.00am on a Sunday morning, his music lifted the whole service. Mark was helpful with the choice of music for before and after the service and played the hymns at exactly the right pace for the congregation to sing. He can be thoroughly be recommended. He has a really joyful character too. We look forward to welcoming him again!"

"Mark played in the bar at the Christmas Ball at RAF Wyton. The music was great, he played lots of Christmas music as requested, and we had lots of positive feedback. This is the second time we had booked him, as he also played at our Summer Ball earlier in the year. Mark was very friendly, flexible, easy to book, and really added to the atmosphere. We would recommend!"

"Once again I am almost at a loss to describe what a brilliant musician and performer Gareth is. His concert for us in Surbiton last night was highly entertaining, varied and interesting, and performed with consummate skill. From serious works on the organ via piano duets (accompanying himself on the keyboard!) to a range of wonderful jazz pieces, Gareth showed his versatility and virtuosity throughout. Not only that, but he provided witty and informative introductions which the audience also very much enjoyed. I may have said so before, but don't hesitate to book Gareth - you won't be disappointed!"

"Having made an aerial video of the Cardston, Alberta Temple (Mormon temple), Alberta Canada I contacted Mark to see if he could compose and play a piece of music that would fit with the video. We were hoping to get something "inspiring" and "moving." What Mark produced was truly inspirational and we knew right away that his music was absolutely perfect and we thank Mark for his wonderful talent.

"Gareth - thank you SO much for your playing at my dear late wife's memorial celebration service of thanks for her long, happy life. You were so kind and helpful with suggestions of hymns and the idea of 'panos angelicus' in the middle like a pause for thought and reflection worked so well. We were all stirred and strengthened by your rendition of 'Nimrod' at the conclusion and, as you saw - we all stayed right to the end before leaving St. John's ! Such a grand, celebratory and fitting closure for us. If anybody is reading this and looking for an organist I cannot - and I speak for all my family - recommend GARETH GILES highly enough Thank you again, sincerely"
