"Simon was outstanding on our wedding day. From helping us choose the right pieces of music, to his professionalism and standard of playing, he went above and beyond to make our day memorable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking to hire a top piper for their wedding. And he's a lovely guy too! Ten out of ten."

"We had Robert play at our wedding and he was everything we hoped for! He really added to the atmosphere and guests commented multiple times on how brilliant he was. We would thoroughly recommend Robert and hope to hear him play again at another event soon! Thank you so much Robert for helping make our day perfect!"

"The first of these is local all-round musician Wendy Jane, who can usually be seen performing in local supergroup Moonbeams with Conrad Barr and Paul Tucker (who can be seen at this very venue in April). Also she performs her own original material on a variety of instruments including flute, harp, guitar and tonight her weapon of mass entertainment is the grand piano. Wendy starts by explaining that she painfully split up from a 20-year marriage, she put all of the emotion and heartache into an album called A Song For Ever Lover. The recently dank weather has not been kind to Wendy as her voice is suffering, with her barely being able to talk. However; when she starts to sing, somehow there is some real power in her voice. The first number called “Love On A Wire” shows an emotional delivery as well as some really skilful piano work. As the audience sits back relaxing, this musician delivers a host of delightful tunes including “Sticks & Stones” about a former homeless graffiti artist and a track called “Oblivion” written in the style of a James Bond theme. Two vocalists; Wendy’s daughter Isabelle Glover and her friend Freya Morrow take to the stage to add some lovely harmonization to a few tunes, including a powerful number called “Phenomenal Woman”. The whole set shows what a great depth and honest singer/writer Wendy is and despite a voice lurgy, delivers an engaging 40 minutes full of highlights."

"We booked Ciro for our afternoon event as a solo act with his own PA system and we must say that we were happily satisfied! Set up and soundcheck went extremely smooth and from an afternoon with background music during meals it turned into a party where everyone sang and danced to the beat of the songs! Great energy and vocals. Thanks Ciro"

"We first met Chris when he played for us at our pandemic wedding in June. We found an advertisement for Chris online and knew from the first phone call that we wanted him to be a part of our big day. Chris Tavener was professional, courteous and well organised. He was happy to comply with venue rules and regulations and nothing was too much trouble for him. As an events organiser, I have worked with many different suppliers and the good ones can be hard to find! Chris Tavener is a rare find because he is brilliant! His customer service was second to none. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and would definitely use him again at future events. Chris was always super quick to respond and problem solve. If we had any issues in advance of the wedding and on the day itself he was quick to sort them and relieve us of that headache. He puts himself into your shoes and does his utmost to make the day as special as he can for you. Although we booked Chris last minute because we weren’t sure if the wedding would go ahead due to covid, we needn’t have worried. A tour request, Chris took on the role as toast master and coordinated everything perfectly on the day. He liaised with bar staff to announce our arrival and get things ready and he announced our speeches at the reception. When organising a wedding, you need the best people in your team to make the day (and the run up!!) as stress free as possible. When it comes to entertainment - Chris is that person.  We were delighted that he played for us. He read the audience well and played a great selection of songs to cater for all age groups. He created a fantastic atmosphere and even played a little longer into the night when he knew our guests didn’t want him to go home! We can’t thank Chris enough for how special he made our big day! Thank You!"

"Dave is absolutely amazing. I had him for my baby shower. I had chilled songs whilst we enjoyed afternoon tea & then more upbeat for a bit of a boogie! Honestly cannot recommend enough. Can’t wait for my next party to have Dave back! Thank you!!!"

Hey Saira Thank you for writing- that means the world to me! I’m really happy you enjoyed the music and I mentioned you to my agent as you seemed to be the one who recognised the most tunes. It’s that musician in you! Thank you for being such great clients and joining in the spirit of the party. I hope to entertain you guys again soon. Cheers Rory
