Reviews

  1. S & C – Brighton – Private Party

    Just wanted to say a big thanks to you and the band … it all passed in such a whirl – it was great. I thought the sets worked really well and everyone I have spoken to since thought you guys were great.

  2. Rachel & Matthew’s Wedding

    Hi Ian, we both wanted to say thank you so much for playing at our wedding, we thought that you were absolutely fantastic and our guests commented on how wonderfully you played and sang during the wedding breakfast. We will certainly be recommending you to family and friends.

  3. Cassie’s Wedding

    I wanted to make contact to say a very big thank you for contributing toward the most perfect wedding day that we could have hoped for. As I explained, the piano is very close to my heart and having you play live was simply perfect. I remember having a quick chat with you at the piano after the ceremony when you offered to play until the receiving line, which was past the time that we had agreed when I booked you, and so I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated everything you did.
