Tiggy's Reviews

5 out of 5

It has been brilliant working with Tiggy over the years, she is hardworking and dedicated and is an incredible trombonist. I have always been able to rely on her and she consistently comes to sessions very prepared. She can adapt calmly and positively in high pressured live situations to ensure a flawless performance. I highly recommend Tiggy as both a performer and person to work with.

Tiggy’s quintet were a fantastic addition to our celebration. They were on time, very professional and played at a very high quality, with a wide range of pieces that were enjoyed by all. I could not recommend Tiggy and her group enough!
