"Alina is a young musician well placed to keep the flame burning by dint with a considerable skill and sensitivity as a player of the harp, a beautiful yet ungainly instrument still sorely under-represented in jazz."

"I recommend Sarah Richmond as the professor of a warm vibrant mezzo voice suitable for the concert hall, opera house or recital venue with piano. It is a voice that will encompass baroque, classical, romantic and contemporary repertoire, which she will embrace with enthusiasm, musicianship, coupled with care or the text and music, sensitive to all stylistic requirements."

Dear Roddy, thank you so much for your kind words! I hope all is well with you. Many thanks, Sarah

"Gareth accompanied my son for his recent violin exam He makes the whole experience fun and had my nervous and grumpy son relaxed and laughing within minutes during the rehearsal I was stunned at what this GENIUS and gifted, talented accompanist and teacher was able to draw out of my son in so short a space of time. He even did work on the aural tests which had been previously refused at home or in lessons and my son achieved FULL marks in that section and a distinction overall !!! What more can I say ?!!! He was only predicted a pass and it was Gareth's skills and encouragement that brought out the BEST in the student. As an ex teacher I recognise Gareth's innate gift for enthusing and engaging the young mind and his accompaniment and musicianship skills are simply amazing. He was kind, helpful and exceptionally generous with his time staying for over DOUBLE the time for which we had paid to make sure my son was at ease with every aspect of the exam My son now wants to continue the violin, has been practising and has remembered all the performance techniques and nuances that Gareth has embued. ANY PARENT reading this looking for a superb and kind accompanist should look no further. Gareth thank you from Shawn and all of us. You are a genius !!"

"We invited Andrew to help us celebrate our wedding anniversary and we, and all the guests, were absolutely delighted with all the entertainment throughout our lunch and afternoon gathering. He played the hotel piano , and his violin, bringing all the necessary sound equipment, and was always extremely charming, helpful in organising the event etc, and an excellent musician. We could not have been more pleased with his performance and would warmly recommend him."

"I just wish to say a BIG thank you once again for being part of myself and Charlene’s wedding day, and contributing to such a special day! I thought you were absolutely fantastic, as did the rest of the guests, and you definitely left a lasting impression! Your passion clearly shone through when you sang, and there weren’t many dry eyes after you finished singing such a great song! If you would like to send me any information I can forward to guests, I would definitely like to recommend you!"

"I have asked Ben to help out on several occasions when organising high level events for a variety of clients. These have ranged from the Champagne Academy, the annual banquet for the Reunion de Gastronomes at Ironmongers' Hall, the annual dinner for the Confrerie du Sabre d'Or, and even cabaret performances at Jermyn Street Theatre. Ben is very versatile, will play all music types, and is a true professional, arriving early, responding to communication and always looking the part."
