"We hired Matt for our sisters wedding drinks reception, very last minute. He got back to us right away with a response and his availability. Matt was unbelievable; He was very accommodating to us due to a change of plan on the day with our schedules running late! We had originally booked Matt for 2-3pm but this changed last minute and Matt was completely flexible with this which we appreciated so much. He was very welcoming towards the guests from what we had seen and heard. He was flexible with this performing, with 1 guest asking him to play the James Bond theme tune ? He also learnt a bollywood song for us and sent us over a recording of this to keep which we loved so much as because we were so late with everything on the day some of us had missed the time to enjoy this time ☺️ He even took part in our dress code. Just amazing and can’t wait to hire Matt again for future occasions ? Thanks for everything Matt ?"

"Mark played for us at our wedding ceremony and reception . The music was excellent and both our guests and us thought his choice of music was spot on and played extremely well. In the run up to our wedding Mark was very responsive and helpful with last minute details. We could not recommend him enough. Thanks Again Mark"

"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."

"Jon arrived punctually for our event and was smartly presented. Everyone was delighted with his playing which was fluid and varied. A number of special requests were made and Jon responded with enthusiasm. Nothing was too much trouble and, although Jon played for longer than we had booked, everyone would have stayed and listened to his playing all night if they had the opportunity. Jon has a light and sensitive style and is highly recommended."

"I booked Two's Company to play at an outdoor event in the summer months. They brought musical sunshine and cheer to a very damp day, lifting everyone's spirits enormously! Both outstanding musicians, I would highly recommend them. "

"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "

"Alan is lovely - friendly, easy to communicate with and flexible. He found the perfect volume with appropriate music for our event - a surprise afternoon tea party - old show tunes and popular music. He set everything up without any fuss and took a few requests too. I would highly recommend him."
