"Craig played at our wedding ceremony last week and was a wonderful and integral addition to our day; the style was perfect for the occasion and made the ceremony magical for us and all our guests. The set up was great, as Craig was able to be discreet with equipment but the sound filled the room we were in. Having Craig play guests into the room, the entrance and exit songs and then playing guests out was wonderful, he went above and beyond to personalise the music to suit us and our guests and learnt songs specifically for us. The whole event was wonderfully performed without a note missed and it truly wouldn't have been as emotional and special without Craig there. We will be delighted to recommend Craig to all our friends and family to play at any event or social gathering! "

" 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"

"Absolutely magical! Kabelos violin added such depth and beauty to our ceremony. From classical to modern love songs, he played each piece with heart and precision. He was professional, warm, and even learned a special request for our walk down the aisle. Our guests are still talking about his performance!"

"Pablo was the guitarist for our wedding ceremony/drinks reception and we could never thank him enough for making our day so special. He is such a talented musician, so professional and just a lovely person! We had good communication with him before our wedding day so we could choose our ceremony songs. All our guests loved listening to him play and we are so thankful we found him - he is a beautiful guitarist and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much Pablo!"

"One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was choosing Pablo to play on our special day. His talent, professionalism and kindness made our ceremony and cocktail hour magical. He learned to play the songs we requested, even though he didn't have them in his repertoire before. They went better than expected and we can't recommend him more highly! Thank you so much Pablo for everything! (From the original in spanish) Una de las mejores decisiones que hemos tomado para nuestra boda fue elegir a Pablo para tocar en nuestro día especial. Su talento y profesionalidad y amabilidad hizo que nuestra ceremonia y hora del cóctel fueran mágicas. Aprendió a tocar las canciones que le pedimos, aunque no las tenía en su repertorio anteriormente. Salieron mejor que lo esperado y no le podemos recomendar más! Muchísimas gracias Pablo por todo!!"

"Your understanding of the creative arts is commendable. I mean we were blown away from theatrical arts to music to directing to editing youre a born entertainer so talented. To think you never went to school for it. Your genes is pure art. "
