"I have played guitar with Des for a number of years and seen just how well he can adapt to different styles. He has excellent improvisational ability and is a very good accompanist. I would certainly recommend him for whatever function!"

"Lawrence's playing was the highlight of our day on the cruise and provided a very varied programme of music. His repertoire was all embracing and entertaining whilst we supped our wine! He readily offered to play requests and his improvisation just had to be heard. Thank you Lawrence."

"Lester played classical piano at our church wedding ceremony, alongside an operatic vocalist. The pieces of music that Lester played blew our guests away and was one of the highlights of our big day. Lester even went to the effort of independently communicating with the vocalist in advance of the wedding day and they met for a rehearsal on the morning of the wedding. My wife and I really appreciated the efforts that Lester went to in order to make the ceremony so special. Everyone loved the pieces of music so much and it really contributed to the joyful atmosphere in the church. A hugely talented pianist, complete professional and a lovely guy. Couldn't recommend more highly!"

"Having seen the results of Lester's work over a number of years I would highly recommend. Wonderful accompanist, amazing all round musician, really gets the best out of his pupils. Angie Bertolotti "

"Gareth thank you for sharing your skill, talent, pizazz and flair for our Christmas Carol Service. Not quite sure how you managed to squeeze so much sound and fanfaral joy out of our little organ but the carols and hymns have never been played or indeed sung (not unrelated!) with such gusto. Your joyous finale at the conclusion of the service brought a smile to everyone's face. I hope we get to hear your playing again and cannot recommend this superb organist and musician highly enough for anyone who is looking for an organist - Gareth Giles is the man for the job!!"

"Mark performed for my father’s funeral late in 2017. Not only did he take care of the practical arrangements (bringing extra equipment, making sure all was in order for the day) but his playing - it transcends you to another world. As he played “O my Father” the room lifted and it touched the hearts of every person in that room. My father loved the Carpenters and at the end he played a piece and very subtly included “Sing a Song” it was beautiful and sad. It is difficult to imagine having a positive experience at a funeral, especially at your own father’s. But Mark truly made the day fit for a king. No less deserved. We were so in awe of the music that he was booked for another family funeral a couple of months later. Can not recommend enough. "

"I just wanted to say a big thank you from me and Chris. Sorry for getting in touch so late but we have just come back from the honeymoon. Everything in the church was perfect. Thank you again. "

Thank you for your lovely comments Joanna. I really enjoyed playing for your wedding, especially your entrance music 'I'm Kissing You' on the organ. I usually play it on the piano - but it really worked for the organ too. I'm really pleased that it was 'perfect' for you, that is my goal for every wedding! Good luck to you both.

"Thanks to Michael who played the organ at our wedding. He was amazing, if we could give him a rating of 1000000/10 then we would. Highly recommend. "

"Des played piano at our Church for our marriage ceremony, we gave him modern music to learn and play and he did so brilliantly, and was also happy to undertake some (very) last minute changes. Des is a fantastic chap and no job was too big or too small. Cannot recommend Des enough!!"

"I hired Shean to play for a vocal exam and couldn’t have asked for a more responsive and flexible accompanist. He displayed a deep knowledge of different types/eras of literature and made some excellent recommendations regarding tempi and phrasing which positively influence the outcome of the exam. I would happily work with Shean again and highly recommend him to others."

"Thank you for providing the backround music for the Pride of Houghton Awards, which took place last night. The evening was a huge success and the Town Mayor, Councillor Laura Ellaway has asked me to pass on her sincere thanks to you. The Mayor particularly requested the songs from the shows and these were very much enjoyed by all. There were many excellent comments about the musical entertainment and the guests that attended the event included the High Sheriff of Bedfordshire and the Mayor's from Luton, Dunstable, Sandy and Flitwick as well as members of the local community. I would like to thank you again for all your support and we hope to work with you again at future events. "

"We hired Mark for our wedding and from start to finish he was absolutely incredible. We went through several months of planning where Mark not only suggested some great songs but accommodated a number of our own special requests. On the day his experience really paid off as he combined the church organ with his own digital keyboard, which was perfect for the traditional yet upbeat mix of songs we were looking for. Mark also played the piano during the wedding breakfast and we were inundated with comments on how good he was. It is obvious why he has been chosen to play at such top London restaurants (we even had dinner at the Gilbert Scott before the wedding just so we could hear Mark play and we was fantastic as ever). As well as a gifted musician Mark is also the ultimate professional, always available to talk and quick to respond to any issues. He even worked closely with our singer to ensure they had the correct versions of each song we requested. He took all the stress out of managing the music in the build-up and on the day, something which we found invaluable with everything else that goes with planning a wedding. If you need an organist/pianist for any event we simply cannot recommend Mark highly enough! "

James, thank you for such a lovely review. It was a lovely day, and very busy for me at Hengrave Hall - after nearly a year in the planning it was good to see everything running like clockwork on the day. I wish you both a great future, please keep in touch and come and see me at the Gilbert Scott sometime!

"Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Mark for playing at our wedding (November 2015)! Mark was so helpful and professional every time that we dealt with him. He was happy to play all of our crazy requests and did a great job on the day. The music was beautiful and our guests loved it! "

It was a pleasure to play for your drinks reception at Anstey Hall back in November. I enjoyed performing your playlist too, the little ones especially enjoyed the theme from Frozen! Please keep in touch, and I look forward to playing for you again in the future. Mark
