"Gabriel is an amazing Piano teacher, he taught our 3 daughters to a very high level, up to ABRSM Grade 8, achieving a distinction, and also helped us with the Trinity College Diploma. He is an amazing pianist, and with the best personality. He is always going the extra mile, and offering very clear and detailed explanation. We recommend him most highly to anyone who wants to progress with their piano :-)"

" We had the immense pleasure of having Alona perform at my son’s wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. She brought such grace and elegance to the event, captivating everyone with her extraordinary talent. One of the most poignant moments was when Alona played Ludovico Einaudi’s compositions, fulfilling a special wish of my son’s late mother. The performance was nothing short of magical, evoking deep emotions and creating a beautiful tribute. Alona s sensitivity and skill in interpreting Einaudi’s music added a profoundly personal touch to the ceremony. The repertoire was beautifully selected, and each piece was played with remarkable precision and heartfelt expression. Our guests were mesmerized, and many remarked on how the music added to the day’s beauty and significance. Alona was not only an incredible musician but also a true professional—punctual, accommodating, and attentive to our needs. She presence and music made the wedding ceremony and reception truly special. We wholeheartedly recommend Alona for any special occasion. Her ability to convey emotion through music is unparalleled, and she will undoubtedly add a touch of elegance and warmth to any event. Sincerely, Spirrow "

"We did our research prior to our wedding and Craig was a stand out talent. We are so glad we contacted him as he was so caring and attentive from the start. He was keen to get to know us and our hopes for the day, and accommodated our every request. On the day itself, Craig was punctual, professional and a wonderful musical accompaniment to both our Church service on the organ, and our Wedding Breakfast on the piano. We couldn't have asked or hoped for better and we are so grateful for everything Craig did for us. He is highly recommended!"

"Sticks and Stone played a fantastic concert of our school. I am the Music Specialist at a K-4 school and this group had everyone engaged, bobbing along in their seats, learning, and enjoying the incredible sounds from the marimba. The musicians interacted so incredibly with the students, staff, and guests. It was a blast for everyone! I highly recommend Sticks and Stone for any school program, or any other type of event. They are spectacular! "

"As a music journalist, I am someone well used to hearing performances covering the whole spectrum of ability, from very talented, to no talent whatsoever; mainly on the working circuit, encountering much from the bottom end of the scale, the flaws of which seemingly pass by, or go over the heads of the audience, mediocre musical acts often gaining acceptance despite (or because of) their lack of any talent whatsoever. So, when on a random whim, I booked MAYHEM into The Old Crown, Hayes, I was pleasantly surprised to come across that jewel one constantly seeks: a light hidden in the bushel, an act of great quality. Don’t get me wrong, on the surface, MAYHEM are basically just another covers band, with certainly not much more to offer in terms of choice of material than others treading the same circuit. The difference though, is in the depth of thought in the vocal arrangements, and the attention to detail in the performance of the songs. Someone in the band has true musical knowledge. The way the vocals are arranged and used is no accident, and the music has a depth and surety that is pure class. Carol’s voice is unique, and at many points conveys rare emotion for those who can hear. The two voices are a happy accident of coincidence; Carol’s rather treble voice, Billy’s gruff baritone, both interesting voices taken in isolation, but together producing a sound that is perhaps greater than the sum of its parts. The quality of both singers shows itself also in the faultlessly correct intonation, the thrilling blend and invention of the harmonies, the search for expression in the vocals, the subtle use of the arrangements to produce expression. Most of these subtleties are of course lost on the general public, but the band still have enough battle-hardened experience and know-how to ride out any waves of indifference, and overcome the hardest heart with a friendly approach to their clientele, patiently trying out various styles and eras, constantly striving to reach their listeners, despite a kind of yearning in the music for serious recognition. Personally, I found it somewhat sad that a talented band like this has to resort to some popular (and bland) material, but one must bow to reality, and work is work. Still, the musicians didn’t just accept the status quo of this material; they always had a few surprises in store in the way they approached any song, however scraped from the bottom of the barrel. Carol’s voice sounded at its best on songs like “SUMMER OF ’69” and “I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT”, but she shone through on harder songs too, like “LIVING ON A PRAYER” and “DON’T BRING ME DOWN”. Billy didn’t sing quite as many lead lines, but when he did, it was with a power and confidence that knew just how best to carry the melody, and the strength of harmony singing was in a different league from the average one would expect to hear in a situation like this. On “Living La Vida Loca” the dual vocals were outstanding, perhaps the most equal blend of the day, with other such highlights for me being “Don’t Stop me Now” and “I Wanna Know what Love is”. The locals however enjoyed some of the lighter material more, such as “Rockabilly Rebel”, square dancing their way through the afternoon with great whoops and hollers, playing their part in a very pleasant day in a very pleasant pub. There was a humorous moment when the lads at the bar joined in with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” all pointing and dancing in the manner of Tom Cruise in “Top Gun”! A vivid sight to behold, for sure! The day ended with a raucous rendition of “Rockin’ All Over The World”, the two singers showing that they could rock it with the best of them when the chips are down. Can’t wait to see this band again. (10 / 10) Andrew Staines "
