"Angelina played principal harp in Holst's The Planets for Sheffield Rep Orchestra's Sounds of the Cosmos performances on 18 September. Angelina was professional, prompt and fully-prepared, and her playing was exceptionally musical. A joy to work with, as ever! "

"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 "

"Sorry for the Late review. Glen played for the reception drinks and then afterwards for drinks and Canapes. He made the baby grand piano sound beautiful. Many guests commented on how accommodating he was with requests. A friendly and charming chap - highly recommended."

"We had the pleasure of Amy playing the violin at our wedding, we have received nothing but compliments from our family and friends about the wonderful atmosphere from their arrival through to our drinks ceremony whilst Amy played. Nothing was too much trouble for Amy playing in various locations as we moved through the day, aswell as covering classic and more modern songs. We've said if we were to plan a wedding again we wouldn't change a thing and would most definitely recommend Amy to anyone looking to add a special touch to their wedding day!"

"Tom arrived on time, dressed smartly and headed straight for the piano. He had many music books -just in case we had requests but played all the famous tunes known to man-and he played well. Our guests were from 30-70 years of age, so every song chosen and played was relevant to everyone. There were 12 of us sat in a cosy living room and we continued to listen and chat while Tom played. We loved how Tom knew exactly what to play considering the mood of the party, the type of house and the type of guests-which were my family. Occasionally one of us sang as Tom played and he was very happy to accompany. Tom also took requests from us and was very receptive to his audience' needs. We were very cheeky guests but Tom smiled throughout and remained very professional. We felt so comfortable with Tom-he has a lovely, gentle demeanour and we would definitely call him back for a wedding, dinner party or function. Highly recommended!"

"We booked Nigel to play at our drinks reception and wedding breakfast at Swancar Farm. From the moment we made the booking Nigel was very helpful; helping us choose songs that would best suit our wedding, answering our questions and ensuring we had everything we need in advance of the day. Our guests loved his songs and he tailored them to what people were enjoying throughout the day. He even played some Dean Martin for my elderly grandad which made his day! Thank you so much for helping to make our day so special "

"Book Piano Matt for your event ? From the outset, Matt was the friendliest, most helpful person to connect with. Having recently planned and celebrated his own wedding, he was immediately offering support and reassurance in so many areas beyond our expectation! Matt is so incredibly friendly, positive, and flexible, even helping us out with a last minute talk on Zoom on a Sunday evening when we got into a deadline panic. Then there's Matt's talent - the love that he has for his craft is huge, and the way that he understands music and the piano is astonishing. Matt offered to learn a custom setlist of classical piano interpretations of our song choices, which was the most incredible thing. Just a couple months before the wedding, we asked him how much notice he would need from us to send him the full list of songs we'd like, and whether we'd left it too late. His response was to shrug and say 'if a tune can be hummed, then it can be played on the piano - there's only so many chords'! I wish I could have that level of confidence and knowledge about anything in my life ? we sent him our (pretty mammoth) playlist, and he said he'd do what he could to work on them and get them perfect - and he really truly did. With Matt playing throughout our welcome, our ceremony, our drinks reception and our wedding breakfast, there was such a great amount of time for us to enjoy him soundtracking our day, and we would have loved to be able to just sit and listen to more of him!! Our guests, from grandparents to 3 year olds, all absolutely loved the magic that Matt created for us. There's been no end to the comments from everyone about how much they enjoyed Matt's music. From the moment guests began arriving, he was playing and creating a brilliant atmosphere. And not only was his performance itself fantastic, but his willingness to learn our custom playlist meant that our guests could guess and recognise piano renditions of songs referencing memories, TV shows, films and comedy - it was truly a highlight of our day! Thank you Matt, for *everything* you did for us in shaping our day, from learning a playlist of 60+ of our weird song choices, to recommending new music artists based on our tastes, and even by bringing along a microphone and PA for us to use for our speeches. We had such a joyful day, and you helped to build it for us. We're so grateful, thank you! "

"Thank you for your beautiful performance on Saturday. Although the children were a bit noisy and boisterous, I know that the guests at our party appreciated your music. Thank you very much for coming and playing for us."

Dear Jean, it was an absolute pleasure. I'm so glad you enjoyed my performance at your party. Happy Birthday! Roger

"Stephen, a highly accomplished pianist, actor and theatre/film composer, here fills the stage with his ingenious, comedic and touching musical insights and real life tales of his own musical life and achievements to date, sprinkled with gems of portrayals of some of the greatest composers covering the last few centuries – Mozart, Satie, Bach, Beethoven (not forgetting his cleaning lady), and Rimsky Korsakov, to name a few – and comic songs which would make Laurel and Hardy beam. Stephen’s talent at the piano speaks for itself. His show is a magical present, the contents of which you want to wrap and unwrap over and over again. At the close, this loveable and larger than life character, whose unmistakable voice and persona makes us go wobbly at the knees, graces the stage and the piano keys. Hoffnung, Thurber – homage to you all. Music lovers everywhere, go see it and bring your piano teacher."
