"Thank you Gareth Gilles for being superb accompanist for my audition for the conservatoire. This man is amazing and sensitive pianist who acccompanies me beautifully - I am so grateful to this superb musician The programme of songs and Lieder was very difficult but seemed to be like a breeze to Gareth who played the music flawlessly and with nuance just right for those musics On day of audition I had bad throats and could not reach my high Bb so Gareth was amazing and transposed at sight YES at sight a whole Rossini aria down a tone to make it the manageable for me. This is an incredible skill and I so glad I booked this professional man. Gareth is a lovely man, kind, supportive and with great humour to put me at ease. When the time comes for performing he instantly switches into performance mode and if fantastic in every respect I shall always remember my audition because of this very skilled and lovely man Thank you G "

Sarah played twice throughout the day in the exceptionally large reception area for the arrival of our day and evening guests. all guests commented how fantastic it was to walk into live music and how relaxing the atmosphere was! Sarah was an essential part of our wedding day."

"Bradley played during our wedding ceremony, pre-dinner drinks reception - and during the wedding breakfast! We gave Bradley pretty much carte blanche with music choices and I am glad that we did. I cannot recommend Bradley highly enough as he set a tone for the whole day. Beautiful playing that made our special day even more special."

"Gareth has an extraordinary talent as an accompanist and pianist - I have witnessed his playing over many months and as an accompanist, his sensitivity always ensures that the soloist is at the focus, and feedback from every performer confirms this. As a pianist, his repertoire is outstanding and Gareth has the ability to bring to each prelude or postlude a rare spiritual quality. Gareth is highly recommended for any church ceremony or service."

"We recently had Nigel play at our wedding at Woughton House. We decided to book Nigel to play all day (Ceremony, Drinks Reception & Wedding breakfast) and were so glad that we did. Nigel added a perfect ambiance to the entire day, he played a fantastic variety of music and even learnt a cover of Time After Time for us. I would highly recommend Nigel for any wedding or party and would not hesitate to book him again."

"What playing! Here was technical virtuosity and musical colour illustrating the diversity of mood which these unusual pictures inspired. This brought to a dramatic conclusion a superb recital that was rich in diversity, enabling us to glimpse the variety of interpretative skills which John possesses. We hope to hear him again very soon."

"During Last Minute Sirens's audition for Jonathan Dove’s 60th birthday concert, it was apparent that they were so well prepared and passionate about Dove’s music that I invited them to be the only duo presenting a whole song cycle. Their performance delighted both us in the audience and the composer. I found them charming to work with, respectful of the situation they were preparing for and wholly professional."

"Hey Mark, we just got back from the honeymoon this week, and as things are starting to calm down I've had a little more time to reflect. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for all your hard work on our wedding a couple weeks ago! Your playing was beautiful, the songs sounded amazing and I kept hearing tunes I love throughout the dinner. It was the perfect, classic addition to our special day. You absolutely knocked it out of the park, thank you. I feel so honored that you were a part of our special day! Genuinely, thank you so much for everything. "

"We were really impressed with Des. He had come via recommendation from a family member and he even exceeded the superlative reviews I'd received! Des is an excellent live performer with a great blend of smooth jazz, classical and so on producing a seamless hour of entertainment delights. Des provides a great service. Reasonably priced and very willing to accommodate the client's needs. He came with his own equipment and is prepared for any occasion. He's well worth a booking."

"Thank you very much Richard for your performance at our Somerset Dinner last month. Apologies for taking so long to write – and nothing to do about not wanting to do this … it’s just that work got in the way! You created the right atmosphere for our both formal and informal occasion – not an easy task. Thanks again – your professionalism was much appreciated too."

"We wanted to write and Thank you and the other 3 musicians for your wonderful music at our wedding. I know we didn’t get much a chance to speak with you on the day. The music was absolutely fantastic and we really appreciate you coming to play at the wedding. All the guests commented on how fabulous you were and the day wouldn’t have been the same without you. Thank you so much and we wish you all the best with the future. "

"Sarah, Firstly it was such a pleasure to have you play at our wedding, from the first email to the last song you were a dream to work with, you played everything I asked, the songs for the ceremony were perfect and exactly how I imagined it would be, actually it was better!! Hearing the first note to my entrance song gave me such a wash of emotion and made my nerves settle and excitement kick in, I'm gutted I couldn't just sit and listen for the whole time you played, you set the mood and entertained our guests just how I'd hoped, we had so many comments on how beautifully u sang and played!! Thank you so much for adding to our special day so perfectly! I can't recommend you enough!! Best wishes and love for the future Mr and Mrs Short Xx "
