Review Centre: Accompanists

"We were incredibly grateful to Shean for stepping in at short notice to accompany the choir and to perform a few organ solos in our Advent concert; he also played for our rehearsal the day before. Shean's communication leading up to the concert could not have been more helpful or prompt, fees were quickly agreed and within budget. Shean was good fun to work with and very professional, both choir and audience thoroughly enjoyed his playing, and we have no hesitation in recommending him."

"It is difficult to capture just how fabulous Lisa was before as well as on the day. She is such a lovely, fun and friendly woman. We really enjoyed working with her in planning the day and her singing down the phone to us as she explored various song suggestions will be a fond memory for us both... leaving us very excited for the day itself. We both love music, as do our families and put a lot of effort to line up some fantastic musical acts in addition to Lisa, including a 6 piece band and a solo guitarist we flew in from abroad. We also had a number of first class entertainers and performers....however despite this, the number one comment we had from every guest during the day and since has been the dramatic and hugely positive impression Lisa had on everyone. We almost felt bad our guests were giving her so much attention and trying to book her for their own events, including a lot of people who had already booked their musicians and were now having second thoughts!! We wanted the wow factor and Lisa certainly provides that. We can’t think of anyone we’ve ever seen musically who is so versatile and yet consistently high quality, indeed... top class. From classical church performances (she is very knowledgable and comfortable in working with you and your ceremony) ... she also learnt a particular piece for us that we’ve never heard covered and yet she delivered it as if it was her favourite song while also very much making it her own. Switching to a top class contemporary set during the drinks reception took everyone by surprise....and her true personality really came out when she switched into a medley of her own hip hop / original numbers blended with a traditional Irish music session, a sing off and an Irish dance combo. There is little to add to what others more qualified have already said in terms of her pure and incredible voice. Beyond this... to give you a sense of her capability... she was able to jam with another musician she only met on the day... to pick up, tune and play a new instrument (family heirloom banjo) as a special request.... to captivate 150 guests of all age ranges and from across the globe, and was able to keep our guests enthralled and enchanted with her for over 6 hours. We’ve met someone who we will enjoy following and listening to for the rest of our lives and who we will always feel lucky we were able to have share our special day. I suspect we will be going to see her gig and perform again very soon (if our guests don’t beat us to it first!). "

"Hi Lynden, Just a quick message to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding reception. Your playing was absolutely beautiful and created the perfect atmosphere. Loads of people commented on how amazing you sounded – even our photographer asked for your details! You were a total gent as well. We’re so happy we found you. All the best, Gemma + Steve"

"Jamie played at our ceremony and reception and he was brilliant. He played songs that we requested and even a bit of a curve ball with the F1 theme for our wedding exit. Would highly recommend."

"Gareth accompanied me at 24 hours' notice when my accompanist dropped out. With only 30mins' rehearsal he reassured me and gave me confidence to do the exam when I nearly pulled out His musicianship is outstanding and he thoroughly understood the pieces and played superbly I achieved a distinction when I didn't think I was going to pass He is also a truly lovely guy and it is totally down to him that I have decided to continue. An utterly INSPIRATUONAL and amazing musician Book Gareth if you can x"

"When I was booking Andrew for my mother's funeral, he gave me a lot of details about the different points at which he could play the pipes, specfically Highland Cathedral. He was extremely helpful, polite and patient with me. I had to discuss and agree the idea of having a piper, with family, the vicar and also the funeral director - the latter heard that I had found Andrew Brian and he told me to book him immediately. It transpires that they had met each other at a previous funeral. So, for me that was endorsement enough. Andrew was marvellous and turned a sad day into something rather fitting and beautiful. I am so grateful."

"Lucy and Jack were amazing at our wedding. Everything we could have hoped for. They were great at learning my song requests for the whole day. Very reasonably priced for the incredible service they provide. Intimate and happy atmosphere created by their beautiful voices and musical talents! Completely perfected the musical genres we wanted of modern country and pop, with couple of older songs too. For any brides out there I highly recommend Lucy and Jack, and to have live singer whilst walking down the aisle, it was one of the most memorable parts of my day."

"Gareth played for our daughter's wedding last week and was a wonderful organist. He met with us all and discussed the options over a friendly coffee. When it came to the day my daughter really did feel like 'The Queen of Sheba' and everyone enjoyed singing the hymns. As an amateur musician myself I was bowled over by Gareth's innate musicality and sensitive, appropriate playing and tempi. Widor's Toccata certainly gave our Organ a workout it will remember for many years !! As a family we cannot recommend Gareth highly enough. He is a lovely man to work with. (ps there does not seem to be a button to give Gareth 11/10 !!)"

"Louise was the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony. She was very quick to respond to our enquiry and helped advise us on the order of our songs. She played beautifully on the day, both our song requests and welcome music for our guests. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Louise!"

"Sam, where do we start, this lady is a multitalented musician and made our wedding extra special. From start to finish her communication was outstanding and she bent over backwards to accommodate the requests we had for our wedding - all be it a bit odd. We aren’t big classical music fans, but her repertoire was so large there were plenty of modern songs to choose from. Sam played the wedding march when I walked down the aisle, and we had the Beatles when we were signing the register. Sam’s greatest achievement was learning ‘Anyone can fall in love’ - the Eastenders theme tune and playing it while our 80-odd guests sang along, laughing at the lyrics - she managed to keep everyone on track. Thank you so much for bringing our wedding to life with your harp - you had everyone mesmerised. We will never forget the joy you helped us create and the smiles on everyone’s faces."

"Cecily was fantastic - really lovely to work with and a very talented musician! And the admin and flexibility, especially with all the to-ing and fro-ing on my end was very much appreciated. Thank you so much!"
