Review Centre: Accompanists

"I engaged Gareth to accompany two choirs and soloists in a fundraising concert in aid of Macmillan cancer. He was SUPERB in every way with experience in bringing out the best in all performers from the professionals to the amateurs. In particular, his musicianship, sensitivity, ability to extemporise sympathetically and enhance any performance. Gareth's musical skills have to be heard and witnessed to be understood for how his playing transforms and securely underpins the Music and the people performing. He also accompanied me in a gorgeous flute and piano piece 'song for my mother ' by Geoff Easles. The Jazz style in this piece highlighted another wonderful aspect of Gareth's abilities - to play jazz in a free and effortless way . On a personal level Gareth is also very professional and approachable and reliable . The adult choir for those with learning disabilities were boosted in their confidence and musicality to sing with him too. It was a joy to watch them and they received a standing ovation! Simply FANTASTIC , EXCELLENT, NO HESITATION to RECOMMEND except that he might not be so available the next time I need him ! Thank you Gareth. Veronica Austin- concert organiser . "

"Andrew recently performed for my ex- girlfriend and I at my home over a romantic candle lit dinner. I was trying to win her heart back. The gods conspired against me and sent a severe storm on the evening Andrew was due to travel from London to Brighton cancelling most trains in the process and causing havoc on the motorways. Despite this Andrew made every effort to get here as he knew how important it was too me and somehow he made it here in time. Andrew's mastery of the violin is as intuitive as it is beautiful and he set the tone with the theme from the Godfather. Upon learning that my ex is Hungarian, he played some traditional Hungarian songs that brought tears of joy and laughter to her eyes. She was amazed and It meant so much to me to see her laugh and smile again. A personal highlight for me was when he played Cohen's 'Dance Me To The End of Love'. Andrew can play anything. If there is something he doesn't know (which is rare) he picks it up almost instantly upon the slightest listen. Andrew dressed impeccably, and the really nice thing is that I could tell that Andrew genuinely enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Andrew does not go through the motions, it is clearly more than work for him, it is a passion. It was the most romantic evening my ex and I had ever had together, and we hope to see Andrew again in the near future."

"Over the Christmas period we hired Elliot for a special dinner party we were hosting at our home. It's an annual event and each year we try to do something a little different. Our evening with Elliot proved to be the best we had ever done. Elliot is a very talented singer and piano player. So first and foremost he is great to listen to and to have live music in your home is a real treat. However the thing that made this evening so special was his personality, my guests really liked him. He was able to take request after request, on the night and just play whatever we asked for. So the evening turned into a big sing along , with favourites for our guests and lots of special moments re-lived. I can't recommend Elliot enough as an all round entertainer. We have booked him again. "

"Alan was incredible - both in the lead up and the day itself. He recorded our aisle song for us and shared it ahead of time and even added a new song to his repertoire for us. He was also incredible on the day, and looped part of the song when we had a slight mishap with a relative that meant the precessions were delayed! 10/10 would recommend. Charlotte Crewe"

"Ben Costello recently provided organ and piano accompaniment for the choir Auriga Capella, at a memorial concert in London. Due to the nature of the concert there was very little time for him or even some members of the choir to rehearse together before the concert, but thanks to Ben’s sensitive and expert accompaniment, no one would have known. He played with precision and flair. If the choir ever had the opportunity, we would certainly like to work with him again. "

"Sam was amazing in every way - he was accomodating with all song requests and played our ceremony and reception drinks beautifully! He was such a professional and entertaining performer. Even before we booked Sam, he accommodated every query I had - I including sending me a bespoke video of songs I wanted him to perform! Thank you so much Sam!"

"A true professional, a real entertainer and so incredibly talented and just a joy to have at our party. He WILL literally play anything and our night would not have been the same without Richard's presence, an absolute gem. Now trying to work out the next event to have him play for us!! Just book him, you won't be disappointed."
