"Christian played at our wedding, he played as the guests were arriving, the walk in song, after the ceremony and during the fizz and canapes, he was sensational, it really set the mood and emotions throughout this time and was perfect. Christian himself is very friendly and talented, he even learnt a song he wasn't familiar with, with only a week to go until the wedding. I couldn't recommend having him play at your event enough. I can honestly say it was the perfect touch to our special day."

"Our Summer Drinks is an important occasion in our calendar bringing together friends and stakeholders to celebrate our work over the year as a small arts charity in Holloway. Moon River proved to be a fantastic addition to the event bringing elegance and perfectly pitched music to compliment the evening. The trio responded to the brief with style and provided a diverse repertoire in keeping with the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. With such professionalism and reliability, we would recommend them to anyone looking for musicians to bring something extra special to their events."

"Mark, thank you so much for being a part of our special day at Hengrave Hall. We are so happy that it was you that we picked to play for us - brilliant! We hope to keep in contact in the future, and you will always be on speed dial if we need you, and I am sure we will. Lots of love, Luke and Alysha xx September 2016"

"From the moment I booked with Robbie, he has nailed every aspect and I highly recommend him. He was prompt to respond, helpful, and planning was easy. He welcomed requests and an outline of the birthday girl's music tastes, and learnt a beautiful piece from the movie Amelie for us. On the night he arrived on time, looked immaculate and handsome in his black tie outfit, and was friendly and relaxed wearing a broad smile most of the evening. Steffi absolutely loved the surprise; he played beautifully and was not overly fussy about timings. Thank you Robbie - don't change anything! John & Steffi."

"I cannot praise GARETH GILES highly enough. Gareth gave me 3 lessons before my piano diploma and was over generous with his time and possibly praise !! However I have passed my diploma and know that this was largely down to Gareth's outstanding musicality, passionate approach and that uncanny ability to teach a person without them realising they are being taught !! Although I have been a teacher for many years and a pianist for many more (!) Gareth's wit, brilliance and viewpoint in the demonstrations and pragmatic suggestions gave me a totally fresh insight with regard to my pieces and their harmonic and melodic structures as well as helping me be self- analytical about fingering techniques, subtleties of pedalling and other performing pointers. His acute awareness of rhythm is something else- wow I did not know I was missing so many fractions of beats !!! Not only was my performing confidence increased by Gareth's innate musicality and infectious love of music but - and with his kind permission (thanks G) - I have adopted many of his approaches in my own teaching with stunning results Gareth thank you for all you have shown me and the rewards I reap now and will always remember in the future . If you can - for the demand must be huge - engage this engaging (!) energetic enthusiastic genius... YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !"

"Robbie provided a great service at our recent winter wedding in December 2022 He was easy to communicate with, taking the time to answer the queries that I had via email in a timely way and kept us in the loop in the lead up to the wedding. Robbie played beautifully throughout our drinks reception, adding a lovely feel to our day and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you for your part in our special day Mr & Mrs Wilson "

"Well, what can we say..... AMAZING throughout. Nigel is a real professional, a real gentleman and fabulous pianist. We are so glad that we booked you, the day simply wouldn't have been the same. As well as playing our selected songs so beautifully, we love how you read the room and played accordingly - for example when we came running back toward the venue dodging the rain having had some sunset photos taken, you played "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head" - brilliant! Thank you so much, your piano playing had us in tears (in a good way obviously!!). We won't hesitate to recommend you x"

"Thank you Nigel, for making our wedding day so special. From our first contact with you, you have been brilliant and you learnt a new song for us and it was so special. We will always remember you and we would 100% recommend you to anyone. Thank you again. All the best, Mr & Mrs Bartington"

"We first heard Nigel playing his music at the Mk wedding fair and were instantly drawn to his music . Due to covid our wedding was postponed, but Nigel learnt and played a special favourite of ours on the original day! This music had special meaning to us and we appreciated the time Nigel took to learn this tune which was out side his original repertoire . On the day of our wedding at Eversholt Hall Nigel’s performance was absolutely fantastic, from reception, to walking down the aisle and the wedding breakfast, it was all perfect. The whole process was thoroughly professional and we would recommend Nigel Hammond to anyone planning their wedding, 10 out of 10 ! "

"Gareth accompanied our daughter for her recorder exam. He came and practiced with her the night before. She was anxious but he was lovely and set her at ease straight away. He spent longer with her than the agreed hour and talked her through the whole process. After the exam she came out with a big smile on her face which was in no small part due to her feeling prepared and supported by Gareth. We were very happy and grateful for his approach with her. We're hoping she can have piano lessons with him in the not too distant future."

"I hired Rob to accompany me on piano for a gig at The Park Plaza Hotel Westminster. The gig was 3 x 40 min sets of background jazz at a cocktail bar. Rob immediately knew all the repertoire and we met for the first time for a quick rehearsal just a day before the gig. I was instantly brought to ease when I met him, his attitude was fantastic and he is a brilliant pianist with tons of experience. Another great thing is he has a extensive repertoire and can easily adapt to any changes you may have throughout the gigs. I will definitely hire him again for any future gigs. Thanks Rob !"
