The music was excellent and the duo were friendly and relaxed with my family. We organised this fir my Dads 80th birthday lunch and he absolutely loved it. Would definitely recommend.
Léonie was lovely and played beautifully. She arrived on time for my mums 80th as a surprise birthday present., she was delighted and really enjoyed her playing and anecdotes. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion.
I can’t recommend Leonie enough. Their music was perfect for our wedding.
Leonie Adams has excellent work ethics. She arrived early and made sure she knows where she would be playing. I did not have to worry at all. The children loved watching her play at our school's Christmas fair. Thank you Leonie! If you need a reliable and talented musician, you should definitely contact her.
Leonie played beautifully at my father's funeral as part of a duo, and was extremely kind and professional at all times. Highly recommended.
