Hi Fran, Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad that everyone had a good time and enjoyed my playing - I had a great time too! Not so bad for a saxophonist after all! I'm already looking forward to the next time you need a musician! Best wishes, Dan Brennan

"5-Star Google Review: We first saw Nigel at a wedding fair at Plum Park and we were both impressed by the seemingly effortless way he played from memory and he seemed like a very friendly guy. Once we had booked our date we discussed having Nigel play and decided the money would be better spent elsewhere so we reluctantly decided to just use a playlist, but I knew how much Kevin had liked the idea of live music so I contacted Nigel in secret to book him for our ceremony and wedding breakfast as a gift. Nigel was super responsive and really up for keeping the surprise a secret as long as possible. I chose the music from Nigel’s huge repertoire based on what we’d planned from a Spotify playlist and as we wanted our exit tune to be Happy Together by the Turtles, Nigel learnt this specifically for us. Nigel was fantastic on the day, texting me to let me know he was there and had set up without being spotted. Some of our guests were tasked with keeping Kevin away from the ceremony room and we managed to keep the surprise right up until his registrar interview. We had set up a camera near the piano to video the speeches. Without any prompting Nigel kindly turned this to each person speaking so we got each speech perfectly in shot too, a small extra thing which meant the world to us. Many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was and his playing set a wonderful tone for our day. I’m so glad I decided to book him and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone. Thank you Nigel! Jo & Kevin"

"Dan was amazing. He played at my dads funeral, and made the service so special. He is extremely talented and so many people commented to say how incredible it was when he played. His communication beforehand was brilliant and he was more than willing to find the right backing tracks to suit what we required. So so pleased we found Dan. Thank you"

Hi Laura, Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm sorry for your loss - your dad seemed like an amazing man - but I'm so glad I could add something special to his send-off. Please don't hesitate to get in touch again if there's ever anything more I can do for you! Best wishes, Dan Brennan

"We were introduced to some 3 years ago and she has been a regular performer at our Sunday Brunch sessions ever since; never failing to deliver universally popular sets of classic standards and more contemporary material, Simone has one of the finest RnB and Soul voices around and marries it to a superb understanding of the songs she sings and - more importantly from our point of view - an utterly reliable and professional attitude.

"Nigel played at our wedding on the 9th December 2023 and I can honestly say when I look back out our day the music was one of the biggest highlights for me. From our very first contact right up until the big day Nigel’s communication was amazing, always prompt to reply and nothing was too much bother. Six weeks before our wedding we actually changed our wedding venue and I called Nigel in such a panic as I was stressed but he was so great at calming me down and reassuring me that everything would be okay, and he was right, it was just perfect. Everybody that came to the wedding complimented the music and I myself started crying the moment my song started playing as I was about to walk down the aisle, it sounded perfect. There was a specific part of the song that I wanted to enter to and Nigel managed to time it perfectly without compromising on the quality of the playing. In addition, I was sad that I didn’t get to hear any of the music played before my arrival but I didn’t need to fear, Nigel was kind enough to send me a beautifully put together set list of the music that was performed, this is something that I will treasure. Nigel also recorded many of the songs on his GoPro and promptly sent these recordings to me. To watch my guests arriving, seeing my husband nervous before I arrive and watching myself walk down the aisle was truly magical and I will look back on this videos for years to come. So to summarise, I would highly recommend booking Nigel for your wedding, you will not regret it. "

"Nigel performed during our ceremony and wedding breakfast, and he was amazing. We first heard Nigel play at a friend's wedding a couple of years ago and just knew we wanted him to play at ours. Nigel made the whole process easy and straightforward, from booking to picking our music choices. You can tell Nigel takes real pride in his work and really enjoys what he does. As well as being an amazing pianist he is also a lovely person. We would definitely recommend, love Beckie and Kevin"

"Bradley played a great set at my husband David's 40th in Hertfordshire. His piano playing was superb. We especially loved the cabaret section where David's sister sang a song from Eurovision with Bradley at the piano. Superb atmosphere, thank you Bradley!"

"As always... I leave everything to the last minute, and needed to organise music for a 50th Birthday. I contacted Chris having searched for a solo guitarist, and he got back to me very quickly... Shortly all was sorted. It was a fantastic afternoon of tunes (and a little rain), and Chris was great... even on a few requests! He's a great singer/musician and would fully recommend him. Thanks Chris for such a great afternoon!"
