"Thank you so much for playing for us at the `celebration` on Saturday evening; there have been so many messages from our guests on your exceptional range and quality of music, that you were certainly the star of the dinner. Angela and I are most grateful to you for your enthusiasm and assistance in making sure the evening was the success that it undoubtedly was, so very many thanks."

"Mark was brilliant from the moment we contacted him right the way through to the end of the event. We could not have chosen a better pianist for our wedding! He was so catering towards the songs we wanted to be played, he also went above and beyond to learn a particular bollywood song that we wanted. Given that we were a covid bride and groom, Mark constantly reassured our stresses and supported us throughout. When some things did not run on time, Mark used his initiative and played such lovely music to “fill the gaps”. Not only is Mark an amazing pianist but a very kindhearted man too! We received so many compliments about the Bollywood pieces that Mark played during our canapes, everyone absolutely loved him. Mark you are so talented! Thank you so much for playing at our wedding, you made the day that much more special. We are so happy you were a part of it!"

"Mark has performed several times at the RAF Wyton Officers' Mess at major functions and I can say without hesitation that he is a consummate pianist with a very wide and varied repertoire. The equipment he uses is also first class. He is eager to please his audience and is very flexible, adapting to different circumstances as they arise. I have no hesitation in recommending him for all types of functions."

"Gareth usually plays once a month at our church services in Dorking - First Church of Christ, Scientist in Moores Road. He is always prompt, very helpful and communicates well with all our members and visitors. His expertise as a pianist, organist and accompanist is at the highest level. We are extremely grateful to have Gareth as one of our artists and would love to have him play our new Clavinova more often!"

"David was amazing on our wedding day...all the music was played superbly. Amazing pianist and incredibly accommodating (even when he had to play an extra few songs due to signing of the register and people taking pictures taking a lot longer than it should have done!) Thank you David...you helped to make our ceremony very special smile emoticon"

"Colin played at my 40th birthday party. His choice of music was excellent and unobtrusive. Everybody without exception enjoyed his piano playing."

"Mark's input into my daughter's wedding was incredible! He could not have shown more interest or commitment to making their day really special....from an initial visit to discuss and offer advice on their choice of music, then an extra follow up visit to see the two venues involved and familiarise himself with the church organ (he even managed to arrange a rehearsal of 'Ave Maria' with the soloist at the same time!). Mark's repertoire and versatility are amazing. He played beautiful classical music during the civil ceremony on his top of the range keyboard (adding a dramatic blast of organ for Bach's Toccata and Fugue as the newly weds left the room!); then he dashed across to the village church 30minutes later for a blessing and baptism ceremony, where he played the church organ beautifully, including an improvised medley to fill in a delay at the beginning of the service! Then back to the main venue to play jazz and 'easy listening' music throughout the reception and wedding breakfast!! You name it...Mark can play it! We were so relieved to be able to leave all the musical details in his capable hands. He obviously loves music and it shows! "

Thank you for your fantastic feedback Heather. It was a brilliant day, the weather was great and everything went to plan. I enjoyed using all of my skills...........pianist, organist and keyboard player to play all of the styles of music that you required. It certainly was an unforgettable day, and it was a pleasure to perform for such lovely people in a stunning venue, Narborough Hall. Also, thanks to Georgie and her team for making me feel so welcome, and looking after me rushing around everywhere!

"Mark is, quite simply, exceptional. When we were looking for an organist for our wedding, he was the the most responsive, enthusiastic and engaging of anyone that we contacted. He took great care to ensure that we had the pieces of music that we wanted and he surprised us with his range of musical genres. On the day of the wedding, Mark turned up early and spent a lot of time familiarising himself with the church organ. He also brought his own equipment as a back-up which we thought was a good idea. His performance during the wedding ceremony was faultless and had the whole congregation singing along! We could not have been happier with our choice of Mark as our organist. He is great!"

Thank you Brian and Nicki for such a lovely review, I'm so pleased that the music was so well received by everyone present. We really did have a variety of music didn't we, Vivaldi to Genesis! You were both a pleasure to work with, and I wish you luck with everything that you do in the future. Mark (June 2016)

"Des was absolutely fantastic at our wedding. He is an extremely talented, professional pianist who created a beautiful atmosphere during our wedding breakfast. He also played wonderfully on the organ in the church. He played everything we wanted and adapted to the different types of piano styles extremely well. Thank you Des. "

Thanks Heidi and Jon. It was a real pleasure to contribute to your big day. In spite of the Covid limited guest numbers and measures in place it was a fantastic day in a beautiful setting. One of the nicest weddings I have had the privilege to play for! Congratulations and very best wishes to you both.

"Des recently played the piano at our wedding reception. His performance was exceptional and loved by all our guests who arrived to hear a lively choice of music. Des' personality is amazing. His attention to matching the music to the occasion added a beautiful touch to our wedding. We would not hesitate to recommend Des to play at any function."

"Thank you Gareth for depping at the last minute for us last week. Brilliant playing, empathetic hymnal accompaniments and thoughtful prelude and offertory music - just perfect. We look forward to welcoming you again."

"We decided to book Gareth after the original organist we had booked to play at our wedding stopped replying to emails. The communication with Gareth was such a breath of fresh air and he really made us feel at ease and took the worry of wedding music away. He played incredibly well and was a pleasure to deal with. The vicar of our ceremony was also very impressed and we would highly recommend him."

"We booked Anthony for our wedding in July, we were extremely please with him. You would be hard pressed to get someone as good as Anthony. He plays the organ beautifully.anthony also helped us in the choice of hymns we played at the wedding. We were very very pleased with everything he did from start to finish "

"Mark responded to our last-minute request to play at our wedding at Madingley Hall. He was professional, friendly and reassuring. We particularly wanted Ennio Morricone's Love Theme from 'Cinema Paradiso' and Mark was happy to learn it specially. Brilliant!"

"Gareth - thank you for again demonstrating your amazing musicianship skills at the superb concert in Claygate the other week. This man has to be heard and seen to be believed ! Classical, show tunes , jazz, duets (with himself !) and virtuoso, colourful performances showing that this man is a true Master of his craft, equally at home on the ORGAN or the PIANO or in the case of one of his own arrangements, darting between the 2 with energy and an engaging enthusiasm for every genre of music. If you are looking for an Organist or Pianist or Accompanist for any occasion get in touch with Gareth - as has been said here before, he is the consummate musician. Thank you Gareth for sharing your art and music with so many. All the best from George."
George
