"For reasons outside of our control, the wedding ceremony began a bit later than scheduled! Richard did an amazing job of filling in the time and keeping everyone entertained with splendid renditions of famous classical pieces. Everyone was throughly impressed with his playing."

"We had the privilege of Sarah being the pianist at our wedding this year on August the 1st at a beautiful location in Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent. We could not have asked for a better Pianist. Sarah did flawlessly from start to finish, executing our ceremony songs of choice perfectly. Sarah plays so gracefully. She is so skilful and plays with so much love and care, of course this is because it is her passion but also, you can tell it means so much to her to make a couple's day that more special. Her music complimented the atmosphere and we had guests tell us how much Sarah added to the day. It really meant so much to us that last minute (seriously, very last minute!) she was willing to learn three songs just for us and that even when the agreed time was up, she continued to play as we sat to watch and listen. We will never forget this. It was truly special. Our only regret is that we did not record her playing so we had something to look back on. We seriously cannot thank you enough, Sarah. We are so happy to have had you be a part of our special day! And to all who happen to visit Sarah's profile, seriously, choose her for your event. We promise you, she will exceed all your expectations and make your day so, so much more special. She is incredible! Thank you once again Sarah. All our love, Timoer and Elisha X "

"Tom was a pleasure to work with for our dementia friendly tea party run by students at the Arts University Bournemouth. He was very efficient and came at a great price. He played a lovely jazz set for an hour broken up into 3 x 20 minutes slots and was very well received with excellent feedback on the day. Thanks again Tom!"

"Since I was a little girl I'd always dreamed of walking down the aisle to a pianist, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine they would be as amazing as Nigel. He is genuinely one of the loveliest people I've ever met, and his talent is exceptional. From our very first inquiry, to the reassuring words in his email to me the night before my big day, Nigel was always there with support, advice and professional attentiveness. I cannot thank him enough for adding his little sprinkle of magic to our wedding, and I will hold those memories close to my heart forever. Our guests couldn't speak higher of his friendliness and talent, and every detail even down to the decorating of his piano was simply perfection. Thank you so very much Nigel, you are amazing.

"Michael was incredible. We our big fans of jazz piano and so wanted to incorporate this into wedding day. Michael was a pleasure to work with in the run-up and so many guests commented on the music and how much it added to the atmosphere. We can not recommend him highly enough!"

"Lewis gave a brilliant performance of my After Ives... for piano set at St. John's, Smith Square (London) which was not only technically but theatrically a real tour de force! I was thrilled by his performance at every level."

"Robbie was a pleasure to work with! He enthusiastically learned every song we asked and made them fit together seamlessly for the ceremony. Communicated with us in the run up to the day, arrived on time to the venue to set up, and played post-ceremony as well. Friendly, professional, and great musician."

"When Len Crawley is not wearing his other cap as one-quarter of the Barron Knights he provides a terrific night of entertainment with his one-man show. Len certainly knows his stuff. He started playing music when he was still at school beginning as a drummer and progressing to keyboards and has some fabulous stories to tell about his early days in the music business, working with Tom Jones, Elton John and a little-known band in the early sixties called the Beatles! At the Royal British Legion club they love Len for his well-chosen mix of glorious instrumentals, great melodies from the American Songbook and lively dance numbers. Handling everything with consummate ease Len has a relaxed, laid-back style that appeals to regulars at this Potters Bar venue who invite him back time after time. Len eased into his show with a beautiful rendition of the haunting instrumental Cavatina and a jazzy working of George Shearing's Lullaby Of Birdland. Songs made famous by Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Nat 'King' Cole and Tony Bennett followed and they attracted the dancers indicating that Len knows his audiences well and has a clear idea what type of material will fill the dancefloor. I liked the way he slotted in instrumentals like Booker T's "Green Onions", the theme from "Midnight Cowboy", and Percy Faith's "Theme From A Summer Place" to break up nicely the vocal numbers and it appeared there was no end to Len's talents as he demonstrated his highly skilled harmonica playing in songs like "Isn't She Lovely". Unlike some performers, Len was happy to cater for all requests and he made one Sally present a very happy lady with a surprisingly rocking version of Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally" and two of Buddy Holly's hits, "Raining In My Heart" and "True Love Ways" were particularly well received, as was the reggae number, "Kingston Town" (complete with steel drum effects) and the uptempo Van Morrison hit "Bright Side Of The Road". Other high spots for me were a lovely mix of Booker T's "Soul Limbo" plus "Yellow Bird" and the subtle interpretation of the Adele/Bob Dylan hit "Make You Feel My Love", in which he showed the quality of his soothing voice. Just one suggestion Len - it would be nice to hear some of those anecdotes during the show. Len Crawley is the ideal one-man band and club organisers and people booking private parties would do well to snap him up. "

"Thanks again Jamie for playing the keyboard at our party. We weren't sure how it would work in the one small lounge but we were very happy with having you play for the party. Next time, we need a bigger place so you can be heard even better. You are very talented, courteous and professional and we would be happy to recommend you for future bookings. "
