Booked for Wedding

Richard was an amazing addition to our day, very professional and a fabulous player! Learned all songs we wanted for our special day. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Booked for Wedding

Andrew was amazing! Ready and set up ahead of schedule, learned and played a song I requested that he hadnt tried before. As the weather was dry enough for photos, we headed outside and he followed which was great so we didn’t miss much of his performance. Very very much worth the money!

Booked for Wedding

Dan was absolutely wonderful! He played beautifully for 3 hours on my wedding day during the ceremony and the following drinks reception. He incorporated songs I asked for from his extensive repertoire, and he even learned 2 songs that I wanted during the ceremony. He was excellent at correspondence and generally a delight to deal with, I couldn't recommend him more!
