"Eoghan totally made my birthday party sing! He created a brilliant atmosphere and got everyone dancing all night long. He is a great pianist and vocalist and also helped the guests shine with karaoke despite varying degrees of talent... He was great to communicate with before the event, turned up early for a smooth set up, and played the whole night till the party was over. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"My 70th birthday party was planned and able to be an out of doors buffet lunch party for the extended family. As a musician myself I didn't want to have recorded music but someone live to add atmosphere without being over-dominant. It occurred to me that an accordionist playing Parisian style café music would be the perfect thing to have, and so Jonny Kerry proved to be. He played two forty minute sets of exactly the right kind of music, and also took the trouble to learn a piece I had composed especially for the occasion. His friendly and approachable manner encouraged virtually every guest to engage him in conversation at some point. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him if you're looking for a reliable, top-flight accordion player. "

"We were lucky enough to have Alex play at our wedding, both for the reception and the wedding breakfast, and he was truly exceptional in every way! From the very beginning, he was so accommodating and responsive, always willing to work with us on song selections and ensuring everything was exactly as we envisioned. His flexibility in tailoring the music to fit the mood of the day was just wonderful. Most importantly, the music itself was simply beautiful. The moment our guests entered the reception, the atmosphere was instantly elevated by his elegant playing. Every note was perfect, and his repertoire offered a timeless, classic feel that matched our wedding perfectly. If you’re looking for a talented pianist who will not only play beautifully but also be a joy to work with, I can’t recommend Alex highly enough. His music brought an extra layer of sophistication and warmth to our wedding, and I would absolutely encourage any couple looking for classic, elegant entertainment to book him for their big day. Thank you so much for making our wedding unforgettable!"

"Andrew was amazing throughout our wedding in June. We had never considered a pianist before having a recommendation from our venue, but we are both really glad we made that choice. He has a fantastic repertoire of songs, and is always inclined to learn new songs if you give notice. We gave him two songs to learn, and they sounded so beautiful when we heard them play. Especially the song I had to come down the aisle to. It was elegant, and was the perfect song choice. Andrew himself is a very nice and lovely person, and was very helpful in what we wanted, and how to go about things for the big day. Having him there on the day with his music just added that extra touch, and made it so much more than we ever hoped. Music is a beautiful thing, and he made it so much more. All of the guests loved the music, and we cannot recommend him enough. Fantastic pianist, and thank you for making an amazing day even more unforgettable."

"Hi Chris, Andrew and I would like to thank you for the incredible piano music you played for our wedding. Without it the ceremony wouldn't have been as magical as it was. Thank you so much for everything. Best Wishes, Carly and Andy."

"Sam is absolutely outstanding. He is incredibly talented and an all round wonderful human. He was super professional but also super friendly! The perfect combination! We really cannot thank him enough for what he brought to our wedding, he really helped make the day special. We had requested he learn two songs - one for our first dance and one for the father daughter dance - we were completely blown away, he performed our first dance song better than the original, I wish we could have recorded him because I could listen to it all day! There is something about having your own special version of your first dance song performed for you that makes it even more personal. We are so incredibly grateful for what he did on our wedding day, we will be eternally thankful for the perfect memories he helped create on our day. We will recommend him to anyone that will listen, he is just wonderful and his voice is AMAZING! We hope we have made it clear enough how much we love Sam and how awesomely, fantastically, insanely talented he is!"

"What a night! The whole evening was just fantastic and I received lots of compliments on your playing. You completely nailed it with 'Only God Can Save our Soul' just the best ever, can't believe you only learnt it that week, amazing! Thank you so so much for making the evening so special for me. I won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone who asks and if we have any more parties I will certainly be in touch"

"We had Andrew as our pianist at our wedding day and Tyn Dwr Hall. We had so many compliments made by our guests about how fantastic he was, and how the music really topped off the occasion. We were luckily enough to get married outside in the grounds and I was blown away with how brilliant Andrew's equipment was, he set up his own piano and speakers for the ceremony, it was perfect and the music played was beautiful, couldn't of asked for more. Highly recommend for anyone's special day!"
