"We love having Chris out to Bad Apple. He is a great guy to work with and a great musician! He is good at reading the crowd and taking requests from a variety of genres (even Britney on occasion ?)!"

"Chris performed for over an hour taking requests from patients. We had a peaky blinders theme and Chris was billed as the entertainment. And he did entertain. All of the patients commented on how brilliant his voice was and staff also said he was fantastic at singing, performing and I cannot recommend him enough for a social event. He did a wide range of songs and even though the room was decorated, it was CHRIS who made the night what it was. I will be booking Chris again for future events. I will also recommend booking Chris for private events and telling my friends. I honestly cannot praise him enough for what he did for our patients."

"My experience as a planner with them as just amazing. They are organiced, on time, and great profesionals with the guitars. They also know how to make people sign and dance and they truly create a magical atmosphere where everyone is involved. Great for cocktail hour. Will surely count on then again soon. Thanks for everything!!"

"We hired Jack as some chilled guitar playing either side of our ceremony and just before our wedding Breakfast, he played every song we asked for and learned some new ones for us. He was professional and was the correct vibe for the times in which we booked him for."

"Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! We feel so lucky that we found you guys. From the moment we found your website and heard your clips, we had a good feeling about you and we weren't disappointed. The music was fantastic, you are both so talented and Lucy, your voice is just stunning! We had loads of great comments from our guests and Laura and I were particularly impressed with your version of Wings by Birdie which you learnt just for us! Thank you! Best of luck to you both. You deserve it!"

"„Hat unsere Veranstaltung mit rund 60 Teilnehmenden musikalisch bereichert! Sowohl sein Auftritt auf der Bühne als auch die musikalische Untermalung zum Empfang kamen sehr gut an. Auch bei technischen Problemen mit der Anlage der Veranstaltungslocation (was nicht an ihm lag!) konnte er eine adäquate Alternative anbieten. Wir können ihn nur weiterempfehlen!“ "

" Yaz xxx oud player is widely regarded as a very good, highly respected oud player. Here’s why musicians, critics, and venues take him seriously: 🎵 Musical Skill & Reputation • Strong technical command of the oud: His playing shows control, speed, and expressive phrasing, especially in improvisation (taqsim). • Expressive style: Critics often highlight the emotional depth and atmosphere of his playing rather than just flashiness. • Comparisons to top players: He has been compared in reviews to internationally respected oud masters like Anouar Brahem, which is high praise in the oud world. 🌍 Professional Recognition • Major venues & festivals: He has performed at places like Ronnie Scott’s, the Barbican, Royal Festival Hall, WOMAD, and Glastonbury — venues that book only high-level musicians. • Serious collaborations: Playing with artists such as Robert Plant, Natacha Atlas, Cheb Mami, and Transglobal Underground indicates strong peer recognition. • Longevity: He has maintained an active career for decades, which usually only happens when a musician is consistently good and in demand. 🎶 Musical Value • He’s not just a technician — he’s also a composer and bandleader, able to integrate the oud into jazz, blues, and world-music contexts without losing its traditional character. • His work with Fantazia and later ensembles shows versatility across traditional and contemporary styles. Bottom line If you measure “good” by: • technical ability ✅ • musical expression ✅ • professional respect ✅ • sustained career at high-level venues"

"Matt played at my wife's 50th birthday party at our home on Saturday. She loved it and feedback from all the guests was extremely positive. He even managed a duet with our daughter which made her day as well. Would have no hesitation in booking Matt again as it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Thanks Matt! (10 / 10)"
