"What an amazing organist! Words cannot portray the mastery this superb musician has over the multi faceted colours of the organ. A phenomenal technique that is a joy to watch and listen to. Thank you Gareth for the pleasure you bring to so many with your delightful playing."

"Robert played the piano at my grandads wake today. The music he played was fantastic he played every song that was requested and was able to adapt the songs to the audience. Thankyou so much. We would highly recommend Robert for your upcoming functions. "

"Mark’s music wrapped our celebration dinner in a happy cocoon of elegance and joyful memories . When my Dad started singing along to his favourite old songs I knew Mark was a winner. His remarkable versatility made the evening so vibrant with achingly beautiful classical pieces and romantic ballads and playful jazz and movie music favourites. Mark is charming and friendly and fun. My advice to myself next time is split the budget between chef and musician. Live music ? ? makes your heart soar. Thankyou Mark - You lifted our dinner out of the ordinary. We can’t wait to invite you back again. "

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for being a part of our wedding day and helping to make is so perfect. So many people were saying you were the best band they’d every heard at a wedding - even the venue themselves had rave reviews, both about your sets and you as people. The music all night was fab and the filled dance floor just shows what an amazing time people were having. We also massively appreciated you taking the time to learn our first dance especially for us - it was beautiful. We will recommend your work far & wide! Thanks, Amy & Jonathan xxx"

"Lester is a fantastic teacher who accompanied me on the piano on multiple occasions, always very patient when I couldn't count bars rest and constantly being supportive and willing to help. Would recommend his piano teaching to anyone with any level of skill! "

"Mark came and played for a Christening here at Stoke. He made the occasion truly wonderful! Brilliant organ playing, having to get here by 9.00am on a Sunday morning, his music lifted the whole service. Mark was helpful with the choice of music for before and after the service and played the hymns at exactly the right pace for the congregation to sing. He can be thoroughly be recommended. He has a really joyful character too. We look forward to welcoming him again!"

"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!!"

"I don't know the Revd. David Morris but having known Des at my own church and listened to him play in church and privately I would endorse everything Revd. Morris has said. From his playing ability over all styles to his quiet dependable honest character. Highly recommended."

"Booked with just a week to go before the event Mark was the consummate professional! From phoning me to chat and get a better feel for the event and the demographic of the guests to arriving early to set up and playing a wide variety of music in a responsive and sensitive way - everything was perfect. Many thanks Mark for creating an ideal atmosphere for us all, dancers and non dancers, ages 8 to 88! Mark's the man for your get-together no matter what kind of event it is!"

"The Kentwood Choir has used Mark as a synth player for many years. As a member of the choir, I can certain vouch for Mark's skill and professionalism - an outstanding musician that truly adds a certain magic to our performances, in particular to large audiences at the Wyvern Theatre in Swindon. If you're looking for a great musician, look no further!"

Thanks for your lovely feedback Will, I've been playing for Kentwood for 21 years now. I always look forward to the shows and 'orchestrating' the band - and it's always great to play in the Wyvern Theatre.

"Just wanted to send you a short note to say A BIG THANK YOU for being such a big part of the day. The weekend was totally amazing from start to finish. We have received so many compliments from guests - about the venue, the location, the music, the service, the food and drinks, the decorations - in fact everything! We have so many special memories that will stay with us a lifetime. The piano was such a lovely touch - especially the bride reveal on the staircase - something we’ll always cherish. Thanks you again for playing such a special part. All the very best from, Derek and Helen Emily and Connor"
