"I honestly thought the music would be more background than anything, but Lynden completely elevated the whole evening. Way better than I expected — soulful, classy, and full of feeling. Just brilliant. And also such a nice guy. – Rachel L."

"I met Simon at the Budock Vean Hotel, where he played for my wife and I and many of our friends at our annual get together (as well as providing easy listening music for all the hotels guests at dinner). Simon is extremely personable and a very talented musician. He added a wonderful aspect to our gathering; playing an extensive repertoire of jazz music - that we had had the chance to choose. I would recommend Simon to anyone who wants that extra special "something" at an event."

"What luck to get Louise to play for us. I decided last minute I didn't want to be trying to mess with getting music together as well as everything else I had to do for the celebration of my wife's life. I searched for quite a while to find someone near who's information resonated with what I wanted and who was available. I found Louise. She was superb, very business-like and a great repertoire. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she fulfilled that beautifully. Not too loud, not samey, some classical, some ragtime; a specific request and some rock. Many of my guests went up to complement her and told me how much they had enjoyed her playing. So. I wholly recommend Pianist Louise to anyone. I also hear she does a great line in Christmas music too! Thank you again Louise. Tim."

"Louise was absolutely brilliant, she played wonderfully the list of favourites that I sent her in advance. The whole audience loved her and I would not hesitate to invite her again for future events."

"Just wanted to thank you again for yesterday. Despite the fact that Daniel and I were running around having our photos done in the rain during a lot of your playing, our guests commented how much they enjoyed it and I really appreciated the Disney, especially in the ceremony! "

"We spent a wonderful afternoon listening to these two highly skilled musicians - Corinne on wind and Haruko on piano. Their passion for music was so obvious and Corinne's commentary on the different pieces, and the five different instruments that she played, just added to the overall pleasure. Our audience demonstrated their appreciation with enthusiastic and elongated applause. Simply wonderful!"

"We engaged Sarah to play at our wedding breakfast and she provided just the right ambiance for the day with a variety of classical, modern and pop classics. It was a wonderful day for us which was topped off by Sarah. Highly recommended!"

"Dear Chris, Just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful piano music last weekend. I can still hear Canon in my head from the walk down the aisle. Cocktail hour was nice and jolly too. Take care and good luck with your second child!"

"Oh my goodness ! What a superb musician and virtuoso organist. Gareth spent so much time e-discussing all the options for music and hymns and made wonderful suggestions. He also proof read our order of service as he is an extremely experienced organist and concert planner. It was a good job he did as he spotted 13 errors which we were able to correct before going to print. He did ALL these extra things and email discussions without any further costs. He was courteous, amazingly PROMPT to reply (usually within 30 mins !!!) and extremely witty in our dialogue. When we heard him play we could not believe how wonderfully he lifted the music for our wedding All our guests also remarked on the excellent hymn playing and superb exit music. We were able to meet him f2f before we left and he is a perfectly charming as well as exceptionally gifted man. WEDDING COUPLES - BOOK THIS MAN if you can as you will not be disappointed. GARETH is a wonderful guy ! Thanks again G for making our musical day perfect xx"

"Fiona played her beautiful harp for us at our wedding a few days ago. It was absolutely magical! She played 3 songs that we personally chose for the ceremony. She is so talented and it was a pleasure to have her with us! Highly recommend! You will not be dissapointed!"

"Beautiful music, set just the right tone during our wedding ceremony on the beach. All if our guests commented how amazing it was having Duncan playing with his guitar throughout. Duncan went above and beyond to make our day special and we are so grateful for him travelling all the way to bournemouth for the day. Wish we could do it all over again!"

"Gareth is a very talented and tecnically accomplished musician. He can play across all genres ; classical, jazz, lounge music, singalong, film and show music all to a very high standard. Besides his virtuosity it is what he brings to the occasion in his versatilty, adaptability and own personality that makes him special. He approaches everything with professionalism. From understanding the brief, programming, impressive playing to personal impact. He can be quiet and remain in the background through to being lively and create fun. He is not put off by requests and can adapt and write his own music. I first met Gareth when he was the given accompanianist for me as a singer and I was immediately struck by his sensitive and supportive playing. He then came to play a short concert I arranged for patients at a local hospice. He designed a lovely mixed programme but playing in such situations needs sensitivity to the mood and needs of the listeners, versality as well as virtuosity and the ability to interact with patients and staff. The overwhelming response was "When can Gareth come again". I have already booked a return date."
