"‘Emily has developed an original program of new music by operating looping pedals with her feet to record harmonies and create multi-tracked cello compositions live). The result is a wonderfully mellow, atmospheric resonance……Review by Richard Giles JUNE – JULY 2018 www.nexusmagazine.com NEXUS"

"Louise is absolutely brilliant! She performed at both our civil ceremony last year and our big wedding celebration this year. Her communication was excellent, ensuring every detail was covered well in advance, which put our minds at ease. She went out of her way to learn a song for our wedding processional which was so thoughtful and excellently executed. She read the room in real time and played songs that fit the vibe. She is an incredibly talented cellist and added such a special touch to our celebrations. Highly recommend hiring her for your next event! Thank you again, Louise Xx - M & R"

""Stephen saved the day for us! At a short notice (3 hours) we booked Stephen to play a 1 hour set. He soon had us up on our feet with a fantastic mix of current and older music! We couldn't get enough and asked if he could extend his set, which wasn't a problem for him at all! He was that good we've already booked him again and know we will be doing so for a long time to come!" ​- Shannon Butler"

"Dear Louise, I wanted to thank you for coming to my studio to record the other day. You play the cello beautifully with great feeling and passion. The recordings we did have surpassed all my expectations. You exude class and confidence when you play and your ideas and contributions beyond reading the notes display a musicality and knowledge of your craft that many session players simply do not have. I very much look forward to working with you again in the future. With best wishes, Tim"

"I had Miriam play alongside a pianist recommended by her at my wedding ceremony, and they were both fantastic. Miriam was great from first contact till last, so helpful and accommodating. The performance was flawless and she is clearly very talented. I cannot give anything but praise and thanks. So, thank you for helping make our day so special Miriam."

"There is absolutely no question about Louise's talent, attention to details, patience and professionalism. Here's the reasons on why Louise is a must-have cellist at your event: From the get-go, she responded to emails promptly and was very helpful in providing me all the relevant details as well as what type of equipment might be needed. Louise is completely transparent and charges good rates for her work. Louise made sure that she learned and accommodated all the songs I wanted played during my wedding ceremony. She dealt with an indecisive bridezilla like me and sent me multiple versions of recordings to choose from with no hesitation and really quickly. She went one step further and contacted me when I was too swamped and forgot to reply to her with my song preference one week before my wedding. She caused me no issues on the day of my ceremony and arrived early with her setup ready to go. She was helpful in reminding me that music can be played as we signed our marriage registration as well and I left it in her capable hands to play a song for me and she did that. That was the explanation for her professionalism but now for her talent.... My walk down the aisle was an absolute dream- I am an extremely hard to please person (trust me, I am an absolute Karen) but she did such an impeccable job, I was singing her praises even the next day. Right before I walked down the aisle, she had perfect timing- she stopped playing minutes before I came out and my partner said that added to the tension and she played the Iris by goo goo dolls (my chosen song for my wedding march). The beauty of her cello in the large hackney Atria was so amazing, the feeling in the room was indescribable. My partner (that never cries) was crying as I walked down the aisle. The music amplified our emotions and it was so romantic!! I was getting emotional as well. At the end of our ceremony, her rendition of accidentally in love was so upbeat and nice! She continued playing as I made it to the end and it was beautiful, she stopped at the perfect time and I just can't get over that very moment. After the entire ceremony, poor Louise didn't take any breaks and kept playing all the songs I chose. She is extremely extremely professional and the nicest person. This is not a bias or paid review but honestly, I love her work so much. Definitely recommending her to anyone I know getting married. Also, I've watched multiple cello videos on Youtube of Iris and on other sites, and the notes used were always never quite right for me (even though I am not a musician by any measurement of the imagination) but I knew I wanted something slower yet still capturing the emotion and attention and she played it perfectly without me even telling her about what I was thinking. A true professional that doesn't need any hand holding or guidance. She does it all to perfection. Louise, you made my wedding day really special. Thank you so much, I really made the right choice with you. "
