  3. booked River Clark for an event in March 2018

    Verified

    I have to say it was a pleasure to have Adam perform on our wedding day. From the moment we booked with him down to the end of his set Adam managed to make the whole process very simple and straightforward. Adam responded almost immediately to any quires we had and was also really flexible and tentative to our requests. Great lad, great performance, certainly helped to make for the best day of our lives.

  4. booked Barbara for a wedding

    Verified

    Barbara was nothing short of amazing from original booking through to the performance for our wedding and we had lots of compliments from the guests throughout - we can’t thank her enough and thoroughly recommend her to anyone wanting an elegant, professional and talented musician. Barbara played all our song requests and incorporated some others, arrived early to the venue to set up and prepare and was very patient with us when I turned up late! We can’t fault anything, which is rare for me but Barbara was truly five star in every respect!!

  7. booked Craig Elliot for a wedding

    Verified

    A great guy and fantastic musician!!! Craig was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. We searched for months to find a vocal pianist to play at the drinks reception of our wedding earlier this year and we're delighted when we eventually came across Craig through the encore website. In addition to Craig's fantastic set on the day his level of communication and flexibility around choice of music was just great. Nothing was too much trouble and Craig even battled through the snow to make it to our big day in Edinburgh. Many of our guests commented on the music at our reception and we really can't thank Craig enough for all of his efforts. Derek & Nicole

    Phil was absolutely fantastic from first contact making the arrangements until the gig had been completed. Everybody who came to his performance has given him 10 out of 10. Very professional, excellent repertoire, great energy, brilliant vocals and guitar playing. Don't go anywhere else - just hire Phil, you will not be disappointed.

  11. booked Halfway to New York for an event in March 2018

    Verified

    It was an absolutely fantastic wedding and the day could not have gone better. Even the snow was a bonus and gave us some spectacular photos, although we hope it didn’t make travelling home too difficult for you all. Can you pass on our sincere thanks to the band for a great job. The music was outstanding, the song choices really worked and we had some lovely feedback on the way you interacted with our guests. Indeed, without exception, our guests thought you were brilliant. Can we also thank you personally for your thorough professionalism, advice and guidance during the planning process - it made it all so much easier and felt effortless. Thank you all once again, and we will certainly have no hesitation in recommending you to others. All the best! Diane & Ray
