Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"Gareth is a very talented and tecnically accomplished musician. He can play across all genres ; classical, jazz, lounge music, singalong, film and show music all to a very high standard. Besides his virtuosity it is what he brings to the occasion in his versatilty, adaptability and own personality that makes him special. He approaches everything with professionalism. From understanding the brief, programming, impressive playing to personal impact. He can be quiet and remain in the background through to being lively and create fun. He is not put off by requests and can adapt and write his own music. I first met Gareth when he was the given accompanianist for me as a singer and I was immediately struck by his sensitive and supportive playing. He then came to play a short concert I arranged for patients at a local hospice. He designed a lovely mixed programme but playing in such situations needs sensitivity to the mood and needs of the listeners, versality as well as virtuosity and the ability to interact with patients and staff. The overwhelming response was "When can Gareth come again". I have already booked a return date."

"Stephen was absolutely first class ! His communication was excellent and above all his music was perfect. He played at a wake for us ( probably something he doesn’t get asked to do too often!) and he created a wonderful atmosphere. Everyone said how good he was and he helped us through a difficult day. I cannot thank him enough. If you need a pianist book this lovely man . Thank you Stephen! "

"Zoe is a very talented and professional harp player who performed at our wedding at Woolverstone Hall on the 25th May 2024. Zoe played a range of songs we had chosen for our ceremony and the music was beautiful. Many of our guests commented on how wonderful and friendly she was and enjoyed the mixture of songs played too from classical to pop culture. I would not hesitate in booking Zoe again for a future event. "

Thanks for the feedback Laura! It was a lovely event to play for and you and your team were very helpful and easy to deal with. I'd be happy to perform at another event for you whenever something suitable comes along! All the best, Kit.

"Thank you for a remarkable evening of live music for our anniversary party. Exactly what we was after. We read many of Nicks reviews and they were spot on, had everyone up dancing and played all the decades of hits from 50’s to the late 80’s. He took requests and played for much longer than asked as he could see we were all having such a wonderful time. Goes without saying like all the other reviews that he sings amazingly and his guitar playing is just something else. All future parties we will be booking him for. "

"I cannot recommend Alex enough! He played at our wedding and did an absolutely brilliant job. Despite some last-minute changes and all our specific requests, he went above and beyond to deliver better than we ever expected. The whole experience was amazing—he was so informative, even recording trial versions to ensure he was playing the right pieces for us. Everything went so smoothly and effortlessly, thanks to his professionalism and talent. He’s not only incredibly talented but also a pleasure to chat with. If you're looking for someone to add that extra special touch, Alex is the one!"

"I booked Chris for my friends wedding (pianist for the ceremony). Chris was great from start to finish in checking all the information with me and was happy to play all the songs my friend had been wanting. He was also great at making song suggestions for certain parts of the ceremony where we weren't quite sure. Overall great experience and would highly recommend Chris. "

"Hi, we have just got back from our honeymoon and we wanted to thank you for all you did on our wedding day. A lot of guests mentioned how good you were and what a nice touch it was using the piano. As it really never gets played, and it/you sounded great. Thank you Katy and Gareth Daley "
