"Wow. The Wigornia String Quartet were simply amazing. They elevated our wedding experience as well as our guests. We had so many positive comments from guests saying how great they were. We would definitely recommend and think they are well worth their value. "

"Small Days guitarist Dave Merrick was the master of ceremonies, with vocalist Natalie Davies and sax player Brendan Whitmore joining him for the live songs. Dave unfolded the story at a well-judged pace, with records of Bessie Smith’s evocative voice even drawing applause from the attentive audience whenever they were included. The live contribution was important, too, and Natalie wisely steered away from imitating Bessie’s full-throated contralto to emphasis the singer’s lyrics with an upbeat swing on numbers like Need A Little Sugar and Send Me To The Electric Chair. Brendan Whitmore switched between soprano and tenor sax, the former particularly eloquent on Need A Little Sugar, the latter coming to the fore on T’Aint Nobody’s Business If I Do. All in all it was a satisfying journey through blues history with one of the great women who made the music what it became. Impressively, this was its first performance – and hopefully it will be seen again. - Tony Benjamin, Bristol 24/7 (Apr 08, 2017)"

"Duncan was fantastic! He was a wonderful addition to the day and fundamental to the awesome atmosphere of our very special day. We could not have asked for more! He skilfully contributed to keep moments of the ceremony, adding emotion and structure to the short but special ceremony. Duncan is so skilled and is such a lovely, positive person. His passion of music, quality and knowledge really shows. We were blown away with such talent for the price. Duncan if this gets to you you need to charge much much more, you are pure talent! Thanks again and we're both so incredibly grateful that you. joins dour special day. Thanks again and all the best."

"I have heard Catherine perform at so many different venues, including outdoor concerts, and her voice can penetrate any environment because it is so very movingly soulful yet in a jazz style. "

"Many thanks for the lovely email below - and you beat me to it as was also going to send a note thanking both you, Roger and Adam for the superb music on our wedding day. It was absolutely fantastic! Roger and his band drew some very admiring glances as we walked through the park and when we reached the courtyard of Fulham Palace, all their staff hung out of the upstairs windows looking down on us. I think some even asked for his details too??"

"Dear Anne, Thank you so much for organising a splendid orchestra for me on Saturday night. Thank you also for your dedication to the music. It is always a pleasure to work with you. You are such an asset to the community! The orchestral players are such a nice bunch of people to work with and it is great to have many of the same players back over and over again. As usual it was a great pleasure to work with you. Thank you for bringing the Cherubini to life for us. The orchestral colour adds so much to what is a rarely performed work and you did it superbly. We were very privileged to have such a talented pianist for the Tchaikovsky Concerto, which I know is also a challenge for the orchestra to play, especially with only an hour and a quarter to rehearse it! - But we did it and the audience were thrilled - the standing ovation was testament to that. As ever it was a pleasure to work with you all. All the best. "

"Oliver has been an absolute dream today, he played his music and sang so beautifully at our christening reception. The music he chose to perform was perfect for the room and occasion and he went above and beyond to make the day extra special even allowing one of the small children on stage to sing while he played guitar for him. Please, please, please seriously consider booking Oliver to perform at your event we certainly would reccomend him to anyone looking for an amazing singer with a great selection of songs and fun personality! Thank you so much again Oliver! "
