"Our original piper emailed me at 9:30am on our wedding day to cancel the booking for valid reasons however, they did not call me and it was only by chance I saw their email. We found Julia who luckily was free, she had around two hours notice to put on her Highland dress, drive 12 miles, set up and play for our guests. She was there on time and learnt the song I wanted piped down the isle to, on the way. She was amazing, and played absolutely beautifully. I wanted to wait to walk down the isle so I could hear her play more of the song that I loved, it made me so emotional hearing her play. Our guests loved her too, and all complimented on how well she played. I would recommend Julia for your event and she will always be my first piper to call for any future events. We are eternally grateful for all that you did Juli, thank you. "

"Rory and his colleagues played at my husband's 40th birthday party. This was held on a summer evening at home for around 60 people. Having live music totally transformed the night. Rory's band created a really unique atmosphere. The music was relaxed and subtle, which meant that the conversation could flow, but so enjoyable to listen to that you didn't want it to end. I would love to have the opportunity to hear them play again and I would not hesitate to engage them for another occasion."

"When Len Crawley is not wearing his other cap as one-quarter of the Barron Knights he provides a terrific night of entertainment with his one-man show. Len certainly knows his stuff. He started playing music when he was still at school beginning as a drummer and progressing to keyboards and has some fabulous stories to tell about his early days in the music business, working with Tom Jones, Elton John and a little-known band in the early sixties called the Beatles! At the Royal British Legion club they love Len for his well-chosen mix of glorious instrumentals, great melodies from the American Songbook and lively dance numbers. Handling everything with consummate ease Len has a relaxed, laid-back style that appeals to regulars at this Potters Bar venue who invite him back time after time. Len eased into his show with a beautiful rendition of the haunting instrumental Cavatina and a jazzy working of George Shearing's Lullaby Of Birdland. Songs made famous by Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Nat 'King' Cole and Tony Bennett followed and they attracted the dancers indicating that Len knows his audiences well and has a clear idea what type of material will fill the dancefloor. I liked the way he slotted in instrumentals like Booker T's "Green Onions", the theme from "Midnight Cowboy", and Percy Faith's "Theme From A Summer Place" to break up nicely the vocal numbers and it appeared there was no end to Len's talents as he demonstrated his highly skilled harmonica playing in songs like "Isn't She Lovely". Unlike some performers, Len was happy to cater for all requests and he made one Sally present a very happy lady with a surprisingly rocking version of Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally" and two of Buddy Holly's hits, "Raining In My Heart" and "True Love Ways" were particularly well received, as was the reggae number, "Kingston Town" (complete with steel drum effects) and the uptempo Van Morrison hit "Bright Side Of The Road". Other high spots for me were a lovely mix of Booker T's "Soul Limbo" plus "Yellow Bird" and the subtle interpretation of the Adele/Bob Dylan hit "Make You Feel My Love", in which he showed the quality of his soothing voice. Just one suggestion Len - it would be nice to hear some of those anecdotes during the show. Len Crawley is the ideal one-man band and club organisers and people booking private parties would do well to snap him up. "

"David was absolutely fantastic as organist for our wedding ceremony and also pianist at our reception. The first thing everybody said to us was how beautiful the music was, it really made the day! David and his wife were both so lovely, from keeping in touch beforehand to sort everything out through to the wedding day, nothing was too much trouble - thank you so much 😊"

"It was unbelievable. From start to finish Andy was so very professional. Amazing communication, so flexible on the day, but most importantly was absolutely amazing. The whole party had a wonderful time, he engaged the crowd, and he sang non stop for over 2 hours. And if that wasn't enough, his live voice was brilliant. One night none of us will forget."

"Zoe was absolutely fantastic from the moment I contacted her to this day, ordering her CD as a lasting momento of the beautiful music she played for us on our special day. We had a church ceremony in which I had requested that Zoe played the beautiful classical pieces, whilst the guests congregated, as I walked down the aisle, during the signing of the register and as we left the church as a married couple. Zoe then kindly and professionally moved over to our drinks reception and played so many lovely contemporary pieces as we sheltered from the summers rain and began our celebrations surrounded by family and friends. Zoe was polite, friendly and professional throughout and if you are considering booking a harpist for your wedding or special occasion, do not hesitate to contact her! I booked with Zoe just three weeks before our wedding and I am so glad that I did! Such a special addition to our ceremony and wedding day as a whole. Thank you again Zoe!"

"Kenneth arrived to the chapel early and family members could hear him playing as we were getting into the vehicles for the drive to the chapel. This touched us all and was much appreciated. He was dressed well, his playing was great and it added to the remembrance of my father. My father was a piper and all who commented to me were pleased that a piper was at the funeral and one who played extremely well "
