"Kit was a brilliant addition to my clients pre wedding welcome party. He was totally professional, happy and pleasant, the music he played was just perfect, and set the right tone for the evening, exactly what the client wanted. I would have no hesitation in recommending Kit for any of my future clients. "

"Alina is a young musician well placed to keep the flame burning by dint with a considerable skill and sensitivity as a player of the harp, a beautiful yet ungainly instrument still sorely under-represented in jazz."

"Chris performed at our Wedding Reception bring heart and soul to us all. His music style and passion shine through in his performance and he made a memorable evening into a unforgettable one. Everyone loved his playlist and he played our first dance song which we very special. He travelled to us and dedicated a lot of his time with us and I'm glad he also had a wonderful experience in playing for our friends and family. Chris also writes original music and I am a big fan and want to have him play again as soon as possible. He's a great guy with a big future ahead of him. "

"We were absolutely blown away by the friendly profiessionalism we experienced when booking Jenny (Cherry Bomb). During the booking process, Jenny helped and guided our musical choices, and made everything very straightforward for us, even though we were quite late in booking her. On the night itself, she was all set up and ready to go without any fuss, having visited the venue ahead of time to check out the room and equipment and the performance was an absolute knock-out. As a singer, Jenny is pitch perfect and versatile making her act perfect for entertainment performances, or to provide the right kind of background vibe for any event. Our booking required both. We’re only sad that we don’t need to hire musicians more often as she would always be our first call. If you’re undecided about who to book for your event, book Cherry Bomb and you won’t be disappointed."

"Stephen played for us all day on a Sunday as part of our celebrations for the Hampstead Big Fair 2024. As guests moved around the House and through our exhibition spaces, he played a fantastic repertoire of jazz classics and some lively classical pieces. Stephen was brilliant! We had lots of positive comments from visitors, many of whom sat and listened to him playing throughout the day. He's also a really lovely person, and just gets on with playing!"

I am truly grateful to have hired such a remarkable artist and professional."

"From initial contact to the final note, Nigel was an absolute pleasure to work with. His talent is undeniable; a truly gifted musician. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process, making the booking seamless and stress-free. The repertoire was vast, offering a wide range of choices to suit any taste, and the willingness to learn a special song for my daughter's 18th birthday was above and beyond. Nigel's personable nature added a special sparkle to the party; he was a delightful presence and created a wonderful atmosphere. I wholeheartedly recommend him – you won't be disappointed!"

Many guests commented how impressed they were and everyone thoroughly enjoyed listening and dancing ! Adrian is so friendly and I’d definitely book him again. "
