Review Centre: Accompanists

"Utterly incredible. Loved the ease of contact, Cecily's manner over emails gave me such confidence she was the right person for our wedding and we were right! Her repertoire list was so extensive and had everything we could of wanted and more! When it came to the day her music was the first thing I heard as I entered the Abbey and it gave me goosebumps! Everything Cecily played was just as I had imagined and she timed it all perfectly! We can't thank you enough! Hannah and Luke"

"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."

"Thank you so much for the beautiful music you played at our wedding on 14th July at Cave Castle it made the day so fairytale like. Everybody said what a nice touch it was during the signing of the register and the wedding breakfast. In our opinion it gave guests a topic of conversation for those who had never met. I hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did, you looked beautiful in your dress. Thank you again so very very much."

"Hi Lynden, We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your incredible performance at our wedding on Saturday. Your playing was exactly what we wanted — smooth, soulful, and classy without being showy. It really added something special to the day. You were also so kind and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Several guests asked where we found you — we’ll be passing on your details with pleasure! All our thanks, Sophie & Daniel"

"Over the Christmas period we hired Elliot for a special dinner party we were hosting at our home. It's an annual event and each year we try to do something a little different. Our evening with Elliot proved to be the best we had ever done. Elliot is a very talented singer and piano player. So first and foremost he is great to listen to and to have live music in your home is a real treat. However the thing that made this evening so special was his personality, my guests really liked him. He was able to take request after request, on the night and just play whatever we asked for. So the evening turned into a big sing along , with favourites for our guests and lots of special moments re-lived. I can't recommend Elliot enough as an all round entertainer. We have booked him again. "

"Gareth thank you SO SO much for your wonderful organ playing at our wedding. You are a virtuoso player and all our guests commented on your amazing playing. You gave us everything we wished for and more with your clever insertion of our favorite theme in the registers. The Saint-Saëns finale was spectacular and we will always remember that grand exit. We cannot recommend Gareth highly enough - he came to meet us and chat and advise on everything and even proof read the order of service. He kept in weekly touch during the planning and is a truly loving and caring guy as well as a tip top musician. He charges very low rates for the service he provides. Gareth we will never forget your music, wit, charm and kindness. X"

"I have had the privilege of listening to Laura playing the piano at a number of public events. She is talented beyond her years and her depth and breadth of her musicality ensures that all musical tastes are catered for. Laura is professional, organised and pays great attention to detail and is extremely reliable, as well as being flexible by playing with even the smallest amount of notice. It is clear through Laura's performances her love of music and performing and this is reflected by the many positive comments she has received from her wide range of audiences. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough, not only a wonderful pianist but also a wonderful and inspirational woman."

"We had Jamie play at our ceremony at Winton Castle, honestly everything was perfect. We had a list of songs and hymns that we wanted to play and there were no issues whatsoever. Jamie is a great piano player and we got numerous compliments on how good the music was during the ceremony. Would recommend him to anyone ! "

"Throughout Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey, Spud is surely one of the first names that comes up when organising a wedding or event. Having seen him perform, I can understand why. Fantastic."

"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!"

"Ben performed at a birthday garden party. He was excellent. We were able to choose a selection of songs from a great and expansive list - each of which Ben was brilliant in performing. Ben really added to the whole vibe of the evening - everyone complementing him. He even obliged with letting our daughter perform a dance to his rendition of Jar of Hearts. Overall really nice bloke and perfect for our party. "
