"We booked Neil for a family celebration vintage tea party in June. He was absolutely brilliant and very accommodating. There was a varied choice of music and we and our guests loved him. He was very sweet especially when my mum joined him unexpectedly for one of the numbers he was performing. He was charming and made our party extra special. We would highly recommend him for any event and look forward to hearing him again."

"I would just like to thank you for providing my guests with some beautiful songs at the church and although I was locked in a room whilst you were singing Ava Maria and my favourite welsh song I could hear how beautiful you sang them. Everyone commented how amazing you were and you were, so thank you, thank you."

"Our thanks to you and Sarah-Jane for your performances on Saturday for our birthday party. Many people spoke to me about how they had enjoyed the music. For us, the singing just made the evening very special for us. Many of those who didn't appear back into the front marquee for the second set were in fact still listening from further back, but hadn't wanted to disturb or interrupt the performance with their chatting to old friends they hadn't seen for a while. So they too were telling me how they recognised many of their favourite songs, and appreciated the performances too. "

"I found Sarah, by chance, looking for a soprano to sing at my mother's funeral in 2022. Sadly for me, the funerals of my husband and father happened in succession all to quickly over the next two years. Sarah provided all occasions with such grace. We worked together to create something very special. Nothing is too much trouble for Sarah, she was able to suggest music from repertoire but also took on music she did not know, and sang all beautifully. Her voice and presence was a rock to me and everyone commented on the beauty of her voice. I would highly recommend Sarah for all occasions - happy, sad, fun, solemn and she will deliver a bespoke service. I remain deeply grateful to know Sarah and now call her a friend!"

"Venezuelan soprano Sofia slipped in, in splendidly soulful isolation, in sleepy-slinky Barnes. Sofia’s charm comes from an ability to engage with her audience with vivacity, a slow waving of the arms or a thumbs-up cheekily pepping things up. This was a two-way process, for the audience, although in their own homes, were there via a livestream chat facility, commenting, praising and importantly requesting numbers. What were requested? Jazz standards, show numbers and some current pieces rubbed shoulders with languid classics sung in French or torrid numbers in her native Spanish. The jazz standards were impressively and beautifully sung. Cole Porter’s 1944 classic, Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye and Meredith Willson’s 1950 show tune ‘Til There Was You, had just the right balance of poignancy and warmth of these post-war nostalgic gentle pieces. The mood changes, but not the sincerity of the singing, with the traditional folk song, The House of the Rising Sun, retaining the blues feel of a song that became the “first folk rock hit”. Then, we were transported to the late sixties with the Aretha Franklin version of I Say a Little Prayer For You. Her skill in Latin American music was epitomised by the famous bolero, written by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez, Bésame Mucho. Sofia’s soft but passionate treatment of the lyrics harked back to the dreamy sensuality of the 1940 original. I expect many of her fans were responding by blowing her lots of kisses. Nevertheless, it was not in a Spanish song that Sofia excelled, but in French. Of course, it had to be Edith Piaf’s immortalised song to love, La Vie en Rose. Perfectly rendered, both in words and music, and fervent in its performance, she expressed exactly the powered of infatuated love. Great stuff, and good to see today’s vie en rose. In these straightened times, we all need occasionally to see the world through rose-tinted spectacles. "
