Review Centre: Pianists & Keyboardists

"She conjures songs both mellifluous and punchy which she delivers with charm and wit. There’s romance and sex in abundance, swirling lyrics into fables, stirring tunes into delicacies for the ear. Who’s that girl, lurking behind her vocals? I’m hearing Julie Driscoll and Judie Tzuke. Astrud Gilberto and Carly Simon. Chrissie Hynde and Peggy Lee. Not too loudly. Nessa knocks them for six with her soul and folk, jazz and pop takes. She gives the broads a run for their fifty pees."

"A professional, kind and imaginative musician! From the moment I spoke to Matt I knew we were in safe hands…I just wish I had found him sooner! He was very professional and immediately set about finding out what was needed. Super easy to deal with, plenty of ideas and very flexible and of course he played beautifully. He made the event very special and I can’t thank him enough. So glad he was there."

"Daniel is an absolutely fantastic guitarist and singer. Daniel's beautiful voice made the day, even though as the bride I didn't get to enjoy as much as I would have I could have sat all day and listened if I had the time. Daniel also went above and beyond helping out after he had set up to move around the backdrop and a few other bits a company we hired had just left and gone. Daniel also helped out along with our photographer to make button holes for the groomsmen when the florist didn't turn up. I would 1000000% recommend Daniel Sams for any occasion that suits. all age ranges at the wedding thoroughly enjoyed the music played. if I could do it all again I would definitely hire Daniel for the whole day !!! thank you so much you made our day."

"Felix moved all of us to tears with his beautiful renditions of You Raise Me Up and Annie's Song. His performance was one of the highlights of our wedding! We had so many admiring comments about it from our guests afterwards. Felix was very friendly and professional, not just towards us but also to the other guests who enjoyed his company."

"I booked Chris as my piper and could not have been happier with him. We had an initial phone conversation where I told him what songs I'd like to be piped at my wedding. On the day, he piped me along the street to Mairi's wedding (my choice) and piped Skye Boat song (my favourite song) as I walked out. He then stayed at my request to be in photos. Chris was very reasonably priced for his service and I would use him again in a heartbeat. He made my dream of being piped in at my wedding come true. I've watched a video of being piped down the street so many times since my wedding. ?"

"Liam was everything we could have wished for as a pianist. He was conscientious, polite, smart and friendly. His performances set the atmosphere perfectly, it provided our venue with a lovely alternative music option and the guests loved the ambiance. He is 100% worth your money if you’re looking for a fantastic pianist for any event. Can’t thank him enough!!"

"I have been greatly privileged to have had the opportunity to work with Gareth while he was musical director of several local choirs. He is a highly skilled, talented and dedicated musician, working across the fields of accompaniment, musical direction, concert performance and composing, to name but a few. His empathy and professionalism as a teacher make it a real pleasure to sing with a choir led by him; his humour can deal with the most prima donna style behaviour in a sympathetic, but firm, manner and he challenges choir members to improve the quality of their performance and to learn new work that stretches their ability. He is always encouraging in his comments, even when the choir members know that they have not done as well as they could! His arrangements of songs and, particularly, his own compositions, are always stimulating to learn and perform, and he inspires a genuine love of music in those he teaches or leads. As an accompanist, he is acutely aware of the performer(s) or musician(s) he is working with, assisting them in producing the best performance possible. It is a joy to hear him perform in his own right, both as a pianist and an organist, and his repertoire is extensive. He will play any piece of music that is put in front of him! Thanks to technology, he can even play three pianos at the same time, which provides considerable entertainment. I have attended many concerts given by Gareth, or organised by him, and have never been disappointed at what I have heard or seen. His attention to detail is second to none as is his determination to give of his best, no matter what it is that he is undertaking. I would highly recommend him to anyone who requires a genuinely talented musician. "

"Tom Kelsey was the pianist for our wedding breakfast and we cannot recommend him enough. His piano playing was beautiful and really created the ambience we were hoping for. Really made our wedding day that bit more special!"

"Nigel is an adept and versatile pianist whose music is hugely appreciated by our audience members both pre-show and during the interval. He always makes the effort to ensure his sets are suited to each show which helps add to the wonderful atmosphere our customers enjoy when they visit us at Milton Keynes Theatre."

"The wedding was at Chicheley hall and Nigel played 3 songs before, during and after our ceremony. He then played songs whilst we all ate. Whilst we had photos taken. Nigel also entertained ours guests outside in the garden. We just wanted to say a big thank you for playing so beautifully on our special day you made us smile and leave a little tear in our eyes. "

"Christa really elevated our wedding reception, she was so warm and professional. Only regret is being so overwhelmed with being married we didn’t get as much time to appreciate her! "
