Review Centre: Solo Musicians

"A marvellous fundraising evening in St Andrew’s Church on 9 May 2025 to celebrate and commemorate VE Day 80th anniversary. The event comprised a topical talk on ENSA interspersed with the favourite songs of WW2. Your presentation was informative and fascinating and your singing as mellifluous as ever. It is clear that the audience enjoyed the show as much as I did. For me it was also an important addition to the natural focus on VE Day 80 and the veterans who still survive. Your presentation gave this depth and context. Thank you so much. "

"Wonderful afternoon that had just the perfect blend of music, a very varied age group this afternoon but Nick managed to cater to all. We thank you for being punctual and providing a lovely afternoon of music for us. Our members are excited for the Xmas show "

"The International Klezmer Collective gave an intimate and captivating performance to a sold-out crowd. From start to finish the audience were engaged with their presence, humour and music. It was evident the two are deeply connected to the music they perform and the unique twist on the traditional tunes was the creative interplay and relationship between Fran and Flora. We look forward to having them back again"

A million thank you's Rose for making Nan's birthday celebration so special and memorable. Would not hesitate to book again, highly recommended. I'm certain my Nan will still be talking about you until her next birthday!!! You were wonderful."

"Nigel played for us at our wedding. The event was at The Doubletree Hilton. Nigel was brilliant, he played so well everyone remarked at hoe lovely he played. We could not have been happier. He was so caring and considerate, the piano was made to look lovely and fitted in with our theme. It was so easy to arrange things with Nigel, he got back to us quickly and understood exactly what we wanted."

"David was truly incredible! He worked alongside us to ensure he knew what we wanted for our special day and arrived early to allow time to talk with us on the morning and as well as looking the part he piped so well! He was a huge hit with all our guests and really added a unique twist to our wedding!"

"We would like to thank you very much. You played beautifully, there was so much love in your performance of Christopher Ferreira's 'Crystal Winter'. Please find attached one of our favourite pictures taken while you were playing. I believe it really represents how we felt."

"We had the privilege of listening to Mawgan at Revo last night. She performed two sets of jazz and swing songs. I have not heard such classy female vocals since watching Ella Fitzgerald."

"From the moment we first reached out to Ellen, we knew we were in safe hands. Her communication was prompt, warm, and incredibly professional, and it was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making our wedding day as perfect as it could be. Nothing was ever too much trouble; even the smallest questions or requests were met with kindness, patience, and enthusiasm. Ellen’s professionalism and expertise stood out from the very beginning. She guided us through our song choices and helped us select the perfect pieces for the key moments throughout the day. She was incredibly organised, yet so easygoing and relaxed, which made working with her such a pleasure. She truly took all the stress out of this part of the planning and brought a wonderful calm energy that we deeply appreciated in the leadup to the big day. And then came the music. We already knew Ellen had a beautiful voice; we’d listened to recordings and seen clips online but hearing her perform in person was something else entirely. Her voice is simply breathtaking, and the emotion she brings to every note made each moment feel even more special. She added such a magical, heartfelt presence to our ceremony and reception that it’s hard to put into words just how much it meant to us. Ellen was warm, friendly, and genuinely excited to be part of our day. She felt more like a friend than a supplier, and we’re so grateful for the kindness and warmth she showed; not only to us but to all of our guests as well. Speaking of our guests; they couldn’t stop talking about her! Everyone was absolutely blown away by her voice, her energy, and the atmosphere she created. We had so many people come up to us to say how incredible she was, and several even asked for her details for future events. She was, without a doubt, one of the most talked-about and loved parts of our day. One moment that really stands out was a last-minute change we made to our song list. With very little time, Ellen learned it and performed it beautifully as though it had been part of her repertoire for years. That small act meant the world to us, and we’ll never forget it. (Please don’t put the same stress on her though! 😂) Ellen, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You helped make our wedding day more magical than we could have ever imagined. Your talent, your warmth, and your professionalism were everything we could have hoped for and more. It was truly an honour to have you there, and we will forever be grateful."

"Daniel sang and DJ’d at my wedding he was amazing, everyone commented on how talented he was. He made our evening really special and would highly recommend him. His song choices were perfect over a wide genre and happily took any requests."

"Robert played at our birthday party and absolutely made the evening. His song choices suited every age group — from the 60s classics to a bit of reggae and folk. He created such a warm, friendly atmosphere and had everyone singing along. We’ll definitely book him again!"

"Thank you to you both for performing an amazing set at our wedding. All of our guests loved the selection of music and you guys are fantastic musicians. Honestly, you don’t get to hear such good quality live music often and we feel blessed to have had such talented musicians at our wedding. Thank you! "
