"Jools composed and remotely recorded violin sections for 3 of my tracks: Just For a Day; Roman 7; Boneyard. The tracks have an American influence but would fall under the indie genre. Essentially, the remit for Jools was to 'bulk them out' with strings. Although I had not actually met Jools in person (and still haven't), he was extremely responsive when communicating via email and therefore didn't need to meet. Before agreeing, he encouraged me to listen to his back catalogue - I was impressed with the breadth and depth of genres that Jools had worked with and I was pleased to learn he had worked with a couple of acquaintances of mine- namely The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Chris Tye. Listening to his work, I was impressed by his knack around texturising songs- in my experience, strings can sometimes feel isolated from the rest of the instrumentation and I am aware that some string players find this aspect of composition challenging. Throughout the process, Jools ensured he had a secure understanding around my expectations. This brought about discussion around dynamics, chord progression technique (tremolo, tied sections etc). Although he was happy to read from transcript, I felt that his take on composition would be much better than mine, so he kindly agreed to compose the parts himself. After recording the first version, he sent me recordings via YouTube- he even went to the trouble of including a running text commentary of his thoughts within the video itself. This meant that I could give better feedback and bounce off his ideas. I was especially amazed by the turnaround (3 days to complete the process) as I had not set any deadlines or ball-park timeframes. Jools' playing is technically perfect and he has an exceptional ear for harmony and dynamics. e.g. He knew not to play for the sake of playing, and when to build to crescendo. He was able to add a range of chords, hooks and new melodies to the song. In Boneyard, the melody in the instrumental chorus ended up becoming the dominant hook- this was totally unplanned. Much like his violin playing, the overall recording quality was very professional. If you are looking for an outstanding string player who is both technical and visionary, Jools would be my number one recommendation."

"Grace Wedding! Dr. Kelsey and his helper Ms. Katherine were wonderful! They were so helpful and so informative. They really went above and beyond with helping us with more than just officiating. They both have an amazing sense of humor. Neither of them were judgmental and were so kind. I would recommend them to anyone!!"

"Helene was absolutely stunning. She's beautiful, funny, engaging and talented. She put on a great show and it really was the highlight of our party. She looked like Cher, sounded like Cher and her costumes were incredible. She was wonderful to do business with as well. Very professional and accommodating. She worked everything out herself with the DJ so I didn't have to worry about a thing. I really appreciated that because as the hostess I had enough to do. If you're thinking about entertainment for your event, you won't be disappointed if you hire Helene. My entire party has called me to rave about her performance. Thanks so much Helene!!! Kim J.

"He was a big part of the event, and a big part that I didn’t need to worry about, which is a huge plus when dealing with the chaos of event planning. I highly recommend him and his crew, and he will be the first hot star I contact for my next event in Croatia."

"Many people came up to me after the service saying how genuinely touched they were by your performance. My Uncle and my Dad were sat behind me during the service and you literally reduced them both to tears. I have never seen either of them cry before. It was extremely moving, your performance was beautiful and perfect. Rob would have absolutley loved it. Thank you much for performing for us and for your professionalism and sympathy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone"

"Brian was absolutely perfect for our wedding. As my partner and I have totally different tastes, we wanted something that incorporated both of us and Brian was 100% willing to do that - he played jazz piano during our brunch reception, and then transitioned into classic party DJ music for the later portion of the reception. He took all of our requests very well, and was very easy to work with. When some guests made requests that went against our desires (line dances, gross!), Brian thoughtfully checked in with us before playing them, and of course he maintained the dance vibe of the party. He is adaptable, friendly, easy to work with, very good as a musician, professional, and "budget-friendly." I can't recommend him enough. "

"When I got the idea to have a concert for my wife I never dreamt that it would turn out to be such a wondrous occasion. Yuri's talent and personality transformed a modest garden party into a truly operatic experience. The whole audience was enthralled by Yuri's voice and thrilled by his introduction to each item. Yuri has my highest recommendation."
