"Lina Peters was recommended to me by the Hanns Eisler School of Music for a jazz evening, and it proved to be a wonderful highlight in our event program at the Pro Seniore retirement residence on Kurfürstendamm. She performed with her colleague Johannes Gehlmann on guitar. Lina Peters, who proved herself an excellent saxophonist, also sensitively held back, allowing everyone the necessary space to fully express themselves. Her musical talent was clearly in her blood, as her father is also a renowned saxophonist. Her joy in the music shone through in every moment of the evening. While the saxophone is traditionally a male-dominated instrument, Lina Peters demonstrated that this stereotype is a thing of the past. Wonderful jazz moments – feeling and beautiful, both resonant and swinging, soft tones that completely captivated our elderly residents. Furthermore, Lina Peters has a captivating stage presence. A wonderful concert evening that we will definitely repeat." would like to. Dear Lina Peters, thank you so much! German: „Lina Peters wurde mir von der Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler für einen Jazzabend empfohlen und dies erwies sich als ein gelungenes Highlight in unserem Veranstaltungsprogramm der Altersresidenz Pro Seniore am Kurfürstendamm. Sie trat mit Ihrem Kollegen Johannes Gehlmann, Gitarre, auf. Lina Peters, die sich als vorzügliche Saxophonistin darbot, nahm sich aber auch gefühlvoll zurück, damit jeder den nötigen Raum bekam, um sich perfekt zu entfalten. Ihre musikalische Begabung wurde ihr schon in die Wiege gelegt, denn ihr Vater ist ebenfalls ein anerkannter Saxophonist. Die Freude an der Musik kam in jeder Phase des Abends zum Ausdruck. Eigentlich ist das Saxophon ein männerdominiertes Instrument aber Lina Peters hat gezeigt, dass dieses Klischee der Vergangenheit angehört. Wunderbare Jazzmomente – Feeling und schöne sowohl schwingende als auch swingende weiche Töne, die unsere älteren Bewohner total begeisterten. Ausserdem hat Lina Peters eine bezaubernde Bühnenpräsenz. Ein wunderbarer Konzertabend, den wir unbedingt wiederholen möchten. Liebe Lina Peters, vielen herzlichen Dank!"

"First time to Ireland, Everything was better than expected until I went to Polly Hops and you guys were playing. This took my trip to Ireland over the top. Fantastic music, songs, and entertainment! After being in what I'll call commercial pubs, I was beginning to be disappointed in hearing any traditional Irish music and what my expectations were of being is an Irish pub. That is until I was directed to Polly Hops because you guys were playing. The experience, music and entertainment you provided were the highlight of my visit to Ireland. Can't wait to come back, hear and see you again and hopefully run across you in the states. Ever in Texas, please let me know. Thanks for a wonderful time. Ken Pendergraft"

"We’re so happy we found her! We had the absolute pleasure of having Lina play at our wedding, and she was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, easy to work with, and brought such a vibrant energy to the day. Lina is a truly talented saxophonist who can cover a wide range of music — from timeless classics to modern hits and even EDM tracks. Her ability to adapt and read the crowd was impressive, and every song she played felt like the perfect fit for the moment. What really made the experience special was how much fun she brought to the dance floor! Not only did she elevate the vibe with her music, but she was also right there dancing with us and our guests, adding an extra layer of excitement and connection. Lina didn’t just play music — she created an unforgettable atmosphere. Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without her, and we can’t recommend her enough!"

"We got married on 05/26/2017 💍 Manu found his place at the celebration and cocktail hour discreetly, but with great quality and professionalism, he gave a unique touch to our wedding. We asked him to play songs at specific moments, and it was a complete success, with a lot of sensitivity. He's a shy guy but very nice. We recommend him 100%. All the guests were amazed by this guy. I found him by chance on the internet since we live in Switzerland and the wedding was held in La Manga del Mar Menor (Murcia). Manu, you are amazing, congratulations and we wish you much success in the future! Best regards, Montse and Miguel."

"Dave is not only a fabulous Sax player, he is a really lovely person. I wanted a Sax player to play during our wedding reception drinks, which was a couple of hours. We booked Dave, and I'm so glad we did. Communication before the event was very good. He responded to all our questions, and checked in with us a couple of times in the run up to the event. We picked some songs from Dave's extensive repertoire to give him an idea of what we wanted, and asked him to learn a couple of songs for us. He played the songs we asked for, and absolutely nailed the vibe we were going for. On a busy wedding day, I made sure I had time to spend listening, and having a little dance, to his music. It was a real highlight of the day for us, and I would book again in a heartbeat."

"Because of the very good musical accompaniment, the champagne reception was a huge success. Although the weather was really bad. During the whole day, I've gained so much positive feedback from our guests for the saxophonist. Many thanks, once again! Original: Durch die sehr gute musikalische Begleitung beim Sektempfang wurde dieser zum vollen Erfolg! Trotz des schlechten Wetters. Im laufe des Tages habe ich immer wieder von verschiedenen Gästen gehört wie gut ihnen der Saxophonist gefallen hat. Vielen Dank nochmal"
