"Ruth provided music for our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in June - We have had so many guests say how lovely she sounded and could not have been more pleased with her performance! We were meant to be getting married outside but given the torrential rain on the day, had to relocate indoors. Ruth was so accomodating to any last minute changes and even asked which dress she should wear to fit the theme! We asked Ruth to create some music based on lord of the rings and a few classic songs to which she did an outstanding job! Thank you Ruth so much for putting together the music for our ceremony and reception, we could not be happier!!"

"IT WAS billed as A Night At The Musicals, and it was certainly a title which attracted a packed house to the Howden Park Centre last Friday evening when Darren Shaw and three dancers took the stage and sang and danced their hearts out. Two for the price of one took on a whole new meaning in this show in which we, the audience, were encouraged to join in with some of the well known songs. If you looked around, all you could see was a sea of smiling faces having a great time reminiscing and sharing some of their favourite moments from the musicals. This was courtesy of one very talented young man sporting a George Clooney haircut and diamond earring, some nifty costume changes, an incredible voice range and an endearing smile. Using a variety of spectacular, if sometimes dazzling lighting effects, and the obligatory dry ice creating an atmosphere that makes the singer appear suspended in clouds, the show began with a spotlight into which sauntered Mr Shaw in top hat and tails singing On The Street Where You Live, from My Fair Lady. Once again the excellent acoustics of the Brian Duguid Theatre played host to emotive, full orchestral music courtesy of impeccably timed tapes. Maybe it was just a shade loud in the first half which saw something very unusual and totally original. Everyone is familiar with The Sound of Music and the recent Connie Fisher version of The Hills are alive. Enter Darren Shaw looking splendid in lederhosen, like a denizen of Austria and straight from the Alps. To everyone's amazement and some barely concealed audience mirth, he became a soprano and made the hills come alive in his own special way. As the show progressed, the format of two songs by Mr Shaw interspersed with dance routines by the hardworking dancers began to win us over. For the first time ever, the famous duet from Grease, You're The One That I Want, was sung by Mr Shaw who performed the male and female parts. Using his falsetto voice – an attribute which was once taught in Italy in the middle ages resulting in the singers being known as castratto (please, don't ask) – Shaw sang the SuBo hit from Les Miserables as he duetted with himself in I Know Him So Well. In The Phantom of the Opera sequence he once again sang the famous duet which takes Christine, the soprano and The Phantom to perform, all by himself. As for the three dancers, two glamorous blondes and a bonny brunette, they proved their versatility by dancing a variety of styles from musical comedy to modern with a brave attempt at Irish River Dancing which drew cheers from the audience. The finale saw Shaw resplendent in a mint green sparkling shirt and matching flares with the dancers in glittering jump suits so there was no doubt that we would hear something from Mamma Mia and we certainly did. This night at the theatre was indeed a feast of tunes from the musicals which at first, thanks to Mr Shaw's dual voice, seemed a little hard to digest but soon became an acquired taste."

"A fantastic performance from Mark, he was totally professional and polite from the moment he arrived. He agreed to perform at our event with less than 48 hours notice and was very accommodating. He tailored his music perfectly to fit the atmosphere including the varied age range of our guests, he was loved by everyone. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mark to anyone. "

"We booked Unwritten Duo for the first time back in September at our pub in Nottingham. They turned up on time, set up without fuss and performed 3 incredible 45 minutes sets. They played music from the 50s to modern day and put their own style to it. I got some fantastic feedback from my punters and have had them back twice since the first booking. We have them booked in once a month for the next year. Absolutely love their sound and especially love Joanne's vocal ability, such rich tones and power. I highly recommend them for any event!"

"My Mum and Dad wanted a fantastic piper for their Golden Aniversory, so we booked Hector. Hector just made the night. He had everyone up dancing and singing. You can tell Hector just loves to play. Nothing was too much trouble for him. If you want the best piper. Book Hector!"
