"Nigel's piano transformed the atmosphere in the resort bar (at Wyboston Lakes). Delegates heard Nigel playing as they left the dining room and were attracted to stop and listen. We expected the piano to be background music but Nigel chose just the right music and performed so well that many people just listened as to a concert. The overall effect was, as we had hoped, that more people engaged with the evening events and entertainments for the rest of the week. Tremendous success; all thanks to Nigel."

"The evening ended with the talents of Vernon Fuller. A versatile, virtuoso guitarist, Vernon switched easily between jazz, blues and acoustica, with catchy songs and a magnetic stage presence. He enlisted the help of a harmonica player in the audience at one point, and then got all of us to join in on some of his songs too. His songs were hugely enjoyable, and you can buy his music via his website; for us, in fact, it was his (semi-improvised?) experimental instrumental with delay pedal that really blew us away and in many ways was the highlight of our evening."

"Thank you so much for providing music for our wedding breakfast and reception. Your rendition of Simply Red's 'Stars' is one of the fondest memories of our wedding day and you sang our first dance so beautifully. You made our day absolutely perfect, so thanks again. Lots of love Lauren & Stewart"

"We first heard Nigel play when we visited Huntsmill Farm on an open evening and we just thought ‘wow’! We just loved how he played and knew we needed him for our ceremony. From start to finish I cannot fault him, he would always email back so efficiently with advice, calming words and also help with song choices. He went above and beyond to make our ceremony as special as we dreamt. Thank you Nigel, you are the best!"

"Kit was booked to perform at a adult / children’s party. Kit was excellent and managed to blend the first set into an entertaining piece for the adults and kids. To a second set which was a perfect piece for a transition and background piece while w rate food and the kids relaxed. The third set was much more upbeat, grey for the adult entertainment and brought an excitement to the evening. I would not think twice about hiring Kit again. He manage our requirements perfectly , by listening to what we required and delivering on every request. The feedback from all our guests was exceptional! Thank you Kit and hopefully we will see you at the next event. Roy and family "

It was a lovely event, Roy! Thanks for booking me and taking the trouble to post your review too. I really appreciated your help loading my equipment in and out and providing me with complimentary refreshments. I'm so pleased that I was able to fulfil your aspirations with music for the kids as well as the adults. As you say, see you at the next event! - Kit Packham.

"Nigel played at our wedding at Holmewood Hall in March 2020. He played during the drinks reception, and was absolutely fantastic! There were numerous compliments from guests on how much they enjoyed Nigel's playing. He also took requests which was brilliant! I would not hesitate to recommend Nigel, thank you so much again!"

"Nigel played while our guests were seated, during the Bridal Procession, the signing, the Wedding Exit, the Confetti Shoot , the Wedding Couple Entrance and the Wedding Breakfast. It was my wife's idea to have Nigel play at our wedding and after she had the idea I thought that sounds nice and a bit different. It was great to have Nigel play at the wedding and it gave the wedding music a more personal touch than just having recorded music. This was particularly the case with the Bridal Procession when you felt you could have been in a church. Nigel was very professional and unobtrusive. We left him to pick the playlist and he played a great variety of different tunes."

"Mark provided the music for our wedding ceremony and reception and it was simply perfect. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and fitting it was and they all enjoyed trying to guess which song he was playing. As Mark left he received a standing ovation – I think that sums up how much we all liked him! Massive thanks again for helping to make our day so special."
