Review Centre: Classical Soloists

"Zoe played the harp at our wedding at Butley Priory on 06/04/2024. I had previously heard her play on a school trip (I am a teaching assistant) and knew straight away that I wanted her to play at my wedding! The communication between Zoe and myself was excellent. She was very efficient at replying to my queries and keeping in contact. Zoe has a huge repertoire and gave us the opportunity to choose music for my entrance, signing of the register and our exit. She helped to make suggestions for pieces that would work well and also learnt a piece that we chose that she hadn't played for a long time. She was prompt, professional and friendly. The harp she played was full size and a beautiful instrument. It sounded wonderful with the acoustics of our venue. She played while our guests arrived, during the ceremony and then at our drinks reception. This was 3 hours in total. The music was stunning, a fantastic mix of modern and traditional. So many of our guests commented on the music and how lovely it was. I would not hesitate to recommend Zoe for any wedding or event, large or small! Thank you Zoe! "

"The Accordionist was friendly, prompt and arranged for the song choices to be played at our event. I would definitely not hesitate to book him gain in the future and have since recommended him to others."

"Lucy was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding musician! She was able to play exactly what we requested and set up at the venue with no hassle. She played so beautifully; both the adults and the young children were mesmerised! We'd recommend her to anyone - she really made our ceremony magical."

"Dave was exactly what I was looking for in the form of amazing talent and someone who could bring the vibes to the wedding day, which he did so with ease. Dave happily listened to my ideas and went with the flow, even though I changed my mind about 4 times! He was professional, knew exactly what he needed to do and where he needed to be and I could not fault him in anyway. 100% recommend."

"Neil's artistry was perfect for the principle baritone role in the premiere of the Mark twain opera Mysterious 44. Intelligent, passionate, flexible, golden-toned singing and impressive acting, and excellent integration with the rest of the cast. A gem of a musician to work with."

"Aoife played for my daughter’s wedding, it was a late decision to have a harpist but I am so pleased that we did. Aoife played during the church ceremony, this was a complete surprise for my daughter, and her sister accompanied Aoife for the signing of the register. They were able to meet and practice just prior to the ceremony and Aoife showed her adaptability and true professionalism in being able to support my daughter during her performance. After the ceremony Aoife played for the wedding guests at the venue. Her music created a relaxed and beautiful backdrop whilst the guests met and mingled. So many who attended commented on Aoife’s wonderful playing and what her performance added to the event. Aoife was both conscientious, arriving in plenty of time for the wedding and generous with the time she spent with us. Aoife’s performance was a magical part of a fabulous day. Thank you so much."

"Thank you so much from the entire Development team at Kellogg for making this last minute booking so easy and stress-free - you have been a delight to liaise with. Eleanor was absolutely wonderful and we've had so much positive feedback on her performance(s). She was just all around lovely to work with, and had the patience of a saint when the speeches ran over, and we look forward to booking her (and working with yourselves) for future events."

"Valentines surprise for my wife, Vita made my wife cry! But in the best possible way with such beautiful playing. I wasn’t too sure about hiring a Viola player but I actually prefer it to the sound of a violin. Thanks Vita for helping make this Valentines so special for my wife and I! "

"We were put in touch with Lee through his agency and he immediately got in touch to establish what our event was, how many attending and the type of piano pieces we would like to hear. We were having a family party for 18 people at a rental house. It was my parents joint 90th birthday Lee arrived on time and played fantastically well for an hour and a half. I’m convinced he would have gone on longer but dinner was to be served. The variety of his catalogue was fantastic and he appealed to all the family. Initially he played a variety of pieces from his repertoire. Then requests starting coming in and he played virtually all of them by ear. What turned out to be one or two requests quickly turned in a request show and Lee’s ability to hear a song/ piece in his head play it was breathtaking. His improvisation was quite astonishing. If you are thinking of hiring a pianist for an event look no further. He was simply amazing. One really emotional performance and a good guy to boot!! "

"We were delighted to welcome Nia to our care home recently, and what a truly special experience it was! Nia was not only professional but also wonderfully grounded and warm. Her performance was nothing short of magical — her beautiful voice captivated everyone in the room. The residents absolutely loved the variety of songs she performed, with a lovely balance of both Welsh and English favourites. Over the course of an hour, Nia connected effortlessly with residents and staff alike, filling our home with joy, light, and laughter. Residents have already been asking when she’ll return — a true sign of how much she was appreciated! We wish Nia every success on her journey as a solo singer and are so proud of everything she has achieved so far. She will always have friends here at Plas."
