"Jo performed at the church service for my wedding at it was just stunning!!! There was not a dry eye in the house as she played Can’t Help Falling in Love With You by Elvis, but the real highlight was getting everyone in the church to get up half way through the service to sing a hymn outside (due to covid restrictions). Jo managed to get her equipment outside and set up in time and it was just magical! She then managed to get back inside so she could play us out! I’m just in awe and it was the most perfect service! Thank you so much!!! Mr & Mrs Bates "

"We had Nigel play at our wedding blessing (At Gayhurst Manor). We really wanted to have a piano to accompany our friend who is a violinist during the church service. Nigel went above and beyond to meet regularly with the violinist prior to the day to practise and he was just amazing on the day. He then played during our sit down meal and was extremely well received by all our guests. We are so grateful for the efforts Nigel put in to make our wedding blessing so special and would definitely recommend Nigel to anybody who is looking for a fantastic pianist who will do everything he can to fit your needs."

"Stephen played for us for a couple of hours - lyrical, romantic, traditional and cheerful; the perfect accompaniment to our celebrations for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee. Thank you so much Stephen!"

"We booked Vernon for our wedding on the 24th April 2015 and he really was fantastic, we had pre arranged what music he was going to do off his playlist. We corresponded by email and had no problems with contacting him and he arrived on time for our evening reception, he set up and played straight through until about 10. We found his own music very good especially his song (see that girl) he made the evening fun and got us up dancing, our guests loved him and enjoyed his music, Vernon is a friendly talented musician and we would book him again or recommend him for a wedding or party. Many thanks Vernon"

"I booked Chris as my piper and could not have been happier with him. We had an initial phone conversation where I told him what songs I'd like to be piped at my wedding. On the day, he piped me along the street to Mairi's wedding (my choice) and piped Skye Boat song (my favourite song) as I walked out. He then stayed at my request to be in photos. Chris was very reasonably priced for his service and I would use him again in a heartbeat. He made my dream of being piped in at my wedding come true. I've watched a video of being piped down the street so many times since my wedding. ?"

"I was lucky enough to book Kit at relatively short notice to play at a lunch held to celebrate my parents diamond wedding anniversary. It was a surprise gift for my parents and he was keen to make the event extra special. In all my dealings with him prior to the event he was flexible and accommodating, eager to build in some of our ideas as well as offer some of his own form past experience. On the day he turned up with plenty of time and set up discretely in the room while other arrangements were a made. He played 2 sets and left us with background music to enjoy in between. His choice of playlist was spot on for the audience. The lunch was for just over 30 people who all thoroughly enjoyed Kit's playing and his singing. All agreed it really made the event come to life and has been the subject of many positive comment since, most importantly my parents were delighted with the surprise. Thanks again to Kit for his marvelous contribution"

Thanks, Di! It was a very pleasant occasion and I enjoyed playing and singing for you all. Glad that you and your party had a good time. I found you nice and easy to deal with too and would be happy to do another one next time you have a suitable occasion. - KP.

"Residents at Bamfield Lodge Barchester Healthcare, were thrilled and delighted, to attend an afternoon of live music with solo violinist, Lizzie Lipscombe. Lizzie, who is also a music therapist, is a professional musician, who has toured with Smokey Robinson and also has worked with many famous stars like Peter Gabriel. It was a truly wonderful afternoon of music, from arrangements of many classical pieces, as well as swing, light jazz and popular ballads."
