Dennis' Reviews

5 out of 5

Great pianist. First time using this site so I was slightly nervous but everything went to plan and Dennis was great. He played alot of songs we requested and understood the vibe of the event.

4.8 out of 5

Dennis played a wide range of a selection of different styles as agreed. He was there on time and played what we asked him. No doubt that he is a great pianist and sure he is a great composer. The only thing is that he made me panic slightly when asked him a question and didn't respond to me for nearly two weeks, and he did in just three days before the event. Overall, I'd recommend him. He was part of an excellent day.

5 out of 5

Effortless is the best way to describe Dennis and his performance was perfection! Dennis is extremely talented a I highly recommend, he fitted into the event and everybody loved it! thank you so much!

5 out of 5

Dennis was a superb piano player and even played his own composition which was awesome. He fitted in with our event as he was friendly and communicative. Anything we asked him to play he could do with ease. I would highly recommend Dennis for any private event.
