"John Slater proved a terrific accompaniment to our wedding. He provided beautiful accordion music throughout the initial few hours of the reception, both before and during the main meal. He created a wonderfully warm and charming atmosphere and gave the day the rustic French feel we were hoping for. The guests really enjoyed John's music and he will no doubt be a talking point for a long time. I would highly recommend John for any future events."

"Anton is a gentleman and a fantastic accordionist. I hired Anton to play at my 30th birthday and from my first email enquiry, Anton was warm, friendly and professional. He answered all my questions quickly and was very flexible with my changing arrangements. On the night, Anton was smartly presented, smiley and easy to talk with. I was surprised at how little he had with him, but I suppose all you need is an accordion and a great mind full of music! To begin with, Anton played some quieter, background music so that guests to mingle and chat. As the night went on, he brought the tempo higher and played some really excellent music that everyone enjoyed to dance to. The night would not have been complete without Anton's excellent playing and all of my friends and family remarked how brilliant and engaging he was. I would definitely recommend Anton to anybody who is thinking of hiring an Accordionist. He playing is fantastic and his demeanour is professional — an all-round wonderful performer."

"Well, where do I begin. Oh! I know. My life sucked. People have hardships. People have rocky times. I found beauty, love, truth, but rarely ease, comfort, kindness. Until I met and married (15yrs later) Bernie. Then it was my 60th birthday. I had never had a party for me as I liked, in my long lumpy life. Ever. Suddenly, I had carte Blanche. Most parties I go to are a nightmare for me. So I thought, why don't I give people a template for a good party. Gross gatherings all jammed in an inadequate restaurant, no mixing etc. and you're not even hosted, you pay for steaks, liqueur coffees and other abominations all in the name of love and loyalty. But sacrificed on the alter of pleasure. Cue Fifi La Mer! Well obviously my venue was groovy. Eventually my menu was too. All as planned. The start of my death. 60! Ok then 'a new age' . Whatever. Venue. Menu. Crowd. Fifi. Me looking not as bad as usual. Result one of the best evenings of my life. I am a 'hands on' Granny, Auntie, Mother etc. I'm so passionate about who I am, where I came from etc. not because I am so great, but because I care and because they are so great. Oh and because it matters. What I want to impart, do not be boring. Do not be petty. Do not be mean. Be fabulous. Give a shit. Oh yes, and book Fifi. "

"Booking Fifi to provide a Gallic soundtrack to our company party proved an excellent decision. From the moment she arrived I knew that we were in safe hands as she gauged perfectly what and when to play, providing elegant background music as guests arrived culminating in raucous sing-alongs of Piaf classics as the evening progressed. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the music, and I would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Fifi and her accordion as a perfect addition to any party. "

"I am so grateful to Martina for playing the accordion at our wedding ceremony and reception, she was absolutely brilliant. She made herself available at short notice, and was more than happy to play my requests (La Vie en Rose for the bridal entrance, as well as a number of songs from Amelie for the registry book signing). Many guests commented on how lovely her music was for the ceremony and reception and it made for a really beautiful and relaxed ambience throughout the event. Her price was very reasonable. I would definitely hire her again, thank you!! "

"We were really pleased to have John playing for us at our Christmas party. He had a wide repertoire of French café-style music, which was just what we wanted, and was very flexible as to when we wanted him to play. His quiet and engaging character meant that he fitted in with us really well and we will be pleased to have him back next year. I'm just sorry that our timings went awry and so we didn't have time to sing the Christmas carols and songs that he had prepared – next time, John, and thank you for having them ready!"

"A massive thank you to Jonny for playing our wedding in July, we wanted a relaxed feel to the day as it was in our parents garden and Jonny really helped to achieve this. As well as providing the low key entertainment we were looking for while bringing an element of our favourite times in France he was friendly and professional. Thanks again highly recommended ."

"John was fantastic. We had a Mediterranean themed wedding and he played some Italian classics which the guests thoroughly enjoyed, and us! Would 100% recommend to anyone else who wishes to have a unique musician at their event. "

"Wow ! Jason played a wide selection of music at a Dementia care home in Sidcup , Kent on 13/12/24 where my mother is one of the residents. He is an accomplished , dedicated, experienced and pleasant Accordionist by far , with patience unending. His selection of tunes - including those of seasonal nature were so well received and most apt for his audience of residents’ relatives too. For him to also kindly play songs to each of the residents who were bed-bound on the day was something so very heartening and highly appreciated . Thank you most sincerely Jason you are a star 🏆! Highly recommended. "
