We booked Bryan to play a corporate drinks reception for our company's 15th anniversary at RIBA. He is a pleasure to deal with, a great pianist and he read the evening atmosphere perfectly with his song choices. Highly recommend.

Bryan was most helpful with the arrangements and made sure everything went without a hitch. Our guests were delighted with his music. He is most professional and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely book Bryan again if we required a pianist. He was a pleasure to deal with and we highly recommend him.

Bryan was the perfect choice as piano accompaniment to our wedding and fitted in seamlessly with what we wanted to achieve from the day. His playing was stylish and fun and his track list is so wide ranging. We have had so many compliments on his playing and I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to others.

We would like to thank Bryan so much for his performance at our wedding ceremony and reception. It was so beautiful and everything we could have wished for and more. We and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it and many of our guests have asked us to pass on their compliments on both the song selection and the playing!

Wow what can I say except a huge huge thank you! Here is a picture of you before the party playing the chords to a song for a very famous music artist who was turning up to listen to you play at my clients birthday last weekend. You literally had the whole place rocking and we especially loved the way you just joined in with the other musicians who you had never met before to start jamming together. A true musician who is extremely talented. Purely Events highly recommends you for any event! THANK YOU BRYAN
