Peter's Reviews

We just wanted to say thank you so much for providing the music for our wedding. Your solo piano arrangements of our requested ceremony music was perfect and many of the guests commented on how “beautiful the music was”. The jazz ballads we requested for the wedding breakfast added class and atmosphere to the meal and again our guests were thoroughly (and vocally) impressed. My dad for one was blown away by your technical ability and has not stopped talking about how great the music was. I personally loved the touch of individual flair you gave to some of the pieces through improvised solos and melodies, it made the whole event feel very personal which we really appreciated. Thanks again for helping to make our day so special, memorable and individual, it simply wouldn’t have been the same without you there.

Just wanted to thank you for a fabulous evening of music at our fundraising Ball at the Lowry last Saturday. All our guests really loved your ‘easy listening’ set during dinner. We received many comments about how great you were and the atmosphere was superb. I would definitely recommend you for future events. Thanks again.
