Review Centre: Classical Guitarists

"Peter Duncan is a professional and highly experienced guitarist. A performance has you spellbound as gorgeous sounds arise to the deft and sinuous movement of his hands. In a set he moves from classics to current chart hits and he puts the deserved energy into rock n’ roll, ballads, blues, reggae and jazz. Peter’s base is a relaxed, easy-listening style in which you sense his own delight especially as he makes a natural playful contact with his audience. The style reflects his passionate influence from The Beatles - with their own arresting melody, lyrical poetry and versatility. Peter also gets into the upbeat and party-like which gets very pronounced when he plays in duos and bands. There’s force in his power chords when he gives a rendition of electric, even raucous numbers! Ultimately Peter is an amiable, easy going and accommodating performer who can touch sweetly or invigorate spiritedly every listener."

"Stephan Kane, Wonderful Classical Guitarist Stephan Kane played for the reception after our family Memorial Service yesterday. He is very professional and a superb musician. He was easy to work with, has a wide repertoire of pieces from which to choose, shows up on time with all necessary equipment, and is a delightful presence. His music provided the perfect atmosphere for the event. It is a pleasure to work with someone who is so talented, yet understated and, indeed, humble. I would not hesitate to recommend him."

"Dennis is an incredible musician and person. He was quick to respond on emails, flexible during our pandemic postponement scheduling process, and willing to take our special requests for music. We received so many compliments from guests on Dennis’ acoustic guitar during our ceremony and the band’s renditions of hits from Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, and Eric Clapton during our cocktail hour. I would hire Dennis and his band again in a heartbeat."

"You did a great job in learning and playing two of the most unusual song requests you've probably ever been asked to play! They sounded terrific with the acoustics at Carnclaze caverns. Top performance"

"Fantastic guitarist For many years, during the warmer months, I am able to enjoy Desmond on a regular basis as he performs daily, outdoors, for the sidewalk audiences and patrons at Bar Boulud, Cafe Fiorello and The Smith restaurants across from Lincoln Center. Desmond is a talented and captivating classical guitarist who also sings in accompaniment to his playing. His performance is the perfect enhancement to the warm, pleasant atmosphere and dining experience. As the menu tantalizes our appetites, Desmond tantalizes our hearing. I'm looking forward to the change of weather and enjoying Desmond's music!"

"I hired Pablo Briceño through Gig Heaven to perform guitar at my daughter’s ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was absolutely flawless. His performance was elegant, emotional, and perfectly suited to a destination wedding with guests from both the USA and Spain. Pablo was extremely professional and attentive to every detail. For the bride’s walk down the aisle, he even learned “Nothing Else Matters” by Metallica for a live guitar processional, which made the moment truly magical and unforgettable. During the cocktail hour, his music created a beautiful atmosphere that had guests smiling, singing along, and reminiscing about songs they deeply love. Many guests even asked for his contact information for their own future events. We are so grateful for his talent and professionalism, he helped make our daughter’s wedding in Alicante unforgettable. Contraté a Pablo Briceño a través de Gig Heaven para tocar la guitarra en la ceremonia y el cóctel de la boda de mi hija, y fue absolutamente impecable. Su actuación fue elegante, emotiva y perfecta para una boda de destino con invitados de Estados Unidos y España. Pablo fue extremadamente profesional y muy atento a cada detalle. Para la entrada de la novia, incluso aprendió “Nothing Else Matters” de Metallica para tocarla en vivo en la procesión de la novia, lo que hizo que ese momento fuera verdaderamente mágico e inolvidable. Durante el cóctel, su música creó un ambiente precioso que hizo que los invitados sonrieran, cantaran y recordaran canciones muy especiales para ellos. Muchos invitados incluso pidieron sus datos para futuros eventos. Estamos muy agradecidos por su talento y profesionalidad ayudó a hacer de la boda de nuestra hija en Alicante un recuerdo inolvidable."

"We were so lucky to have Vieri from Tuscan Blue Notes play at our wedding in Tuscany, Italy. Even though we booked him just a month before the big day, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process. We truly stood out was his willingness to learn three special songs that were meaningful for my husband and I - all with very little notice. He not only learned them quickly, but played them beautifully. It created such a personal and emotional touch to our wedding ceremony. His talent and dedication helped make our wedding day even more special. We are so grateful that we booked him, and couldn't imagine our day without him. We would highly recommend him to any couple looking for a heartfelt musical experience on their big day. – Francesca Villare, 21 October 2025, wedding at Tenuta Santo Pietro, Pienza"

"I can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Stephan for our wedding ceremony and music. He was super responsive and learned 3 new songs outside of his repertoire because they were special to us. All of our guests loved the music too! Super easy, great quality, highly recommend!"

"Will played at our wedding during the drinks reception and the meal. The music was absolutely stunning and it set the tone perfectly while people were mingling and chatting. We opted for a mixture of well known tunes and some lesser known Spanish themed music and everyone loved it! He is very talented and we were delighted he was there for our day! "

"We are so happy to have had the magic and pleasure of having Pete play at our garden wedding this summer. From the very first contact Pete was so friendly and helpful and we loved the playlist he helped us to choose. His wonderful music filled the gardens so beautifully and created the perfect romantic ambience throughout. Then Pete instinctively knew when and how to up the pace for the evening too. Not only are we very grateful to have had his help on the day but we feel like we made a friend."
