"Chris was exactly what we needed. He is unassuming and just does what he needs to do. No fuss no ego. If you need a talented and local musician please think of him."

"Louise played wonderfully for us at my wife's sixtieth birthday party, she learned Debussy for us, and Joe Hishaishi's beautiful music written for studio Ghibli movies. This was interspersed with other classics by Burt Bacharach, Simon and Garfunkel and many others. Everybody absolutely loved her work, especially my wife, as it made her birthday family gathering really special. Being the first time we had all got together in several years Louise's beautiful piano playing provided an emotional heart to the event. I'm so glad she could attend. Thank you Louise."

"Sarah played at our wedding and we along with our wedding guests enjoyed her performance so much we asked her to play an extra couple of hours, which she kindly agreed to at a very reasonable rate. She is a very talented singer-pianist and would highly recommend her. Extremely professional service. Thank you very much for being a part of our special day!"

"I love working with Gareth! He played once again for our Carol Service at St Matthew's on both organ and piano, and was as always totally professional, brilliantly accomplished in his playing and a joy to make music with. I would recommend him unreservedly!"

"On 5 August 2015, Anthony Rudd came to play for my wedding at St Andrews, Bothal. Needless to say, his performance was perfect. St Andrews is a wonderfully renovated medieval church that once belonged to the castle and estate next door. The pristine church organ is small, manufactured in the late 19th century. It takes some skills to make that organ sound for the pieces that we had chosen, among them Bach and Widor. Anthony came to try out the organ two months before the date, so we had a chance to go over the repertoire and choose a range of pieces that might be suitable for both, the event and the organ. In short, his playing had a significant impact on the service and made the event to what it was, a powerful and exciting celebration of our entry into a new stage of our lives. Thanks so much! "

"Lizzie was absolutely lovely and had taken the time to ask me what the colour scheme was for the day so she could dress accordingly. How very thoughtful of her. Her repertoire was very varied, from the Beatles to classical music, and was perfect. My niece and her new husband, together with our guests, really enjoyed Lizzie's playing. The most magical and memorable piece of music for us all was when she played "Let It Go" from the film Frozen, and our grandchildren sang along with Lizzie. A tear-jerking moment! Lizzie was a real star and we enjoyed every moment! "

"Jon arrived punctually for our event and was smartly presented. Everyone was delighted with his playing which was fluid and varied. A number of special requests were made and Jon responded with enthusiasm. Nothing was too much trouble and, although Jon played for longer than we had booked, everyone would have stayed and listened to his playing all night if they had the opportunity. Jon has a light and sensitive style and is highly recommended."

"Gareth was incredibly helpful - he found the music we wanted and met us a few months before the wedding at the Church to go through things. He played the organ beautifully during the wedding service. We would not hesitate to recommend him."

"My mother in law's celebration of life event was complimented by everyone who came along, Andrew and the singer he worked with, Richard Stark, contributed hugely to this. Andrew tackled a truly eclectic series of pieces with verve on the piano, and also added hugely to the reception afterwards with a series of pieces on his violin that really hit the spot with the varied set of people who were there."
