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."

"Patrik was amazing and more than what we could have hoped for. He was flexible with timings and also learnt (very quickly and skillfully!) songs at our request. Patrik was very responsive and professional, and most importantly a very talented guitarist. Would highly recommend!"

"Glen Sharp is an amazing guitarist and we would certainly book him again if we need a guitarist in the future. We had asked him to provide background music during the buffet and he did that perfectly, creating a wonderful atmosphere. He was very professional but also friendly and accomodating. He seemed happy to do so when we asked him if he could fit in his break time to suit our needs (things were running a bit late). Our guests were also suitably impressed by him and were asking me how I had found such a brilliant artist."

"From our earliest days the West Fine Art Show has presented John Gilliat on guitar. Art show guests are always enthralled and artists adore him. John’s Flamenco Jazz and Latin Rumba blend passionately and soothingly into the broad canvas of our showscape and as a result he has truly become one of our most popular featured artists. "

"Mark was very Professional, he arrived at the time he stated and was set up in no time. He started playing as the people arrived and played constantly for 4 hours. I kept asking him to take a break, but he kept on playing. He had a very wide range of repertoire. He really enjoys playing, it is not just a Gig. Highly recommend him. "

"I would recommend Matteo over and over again to anyone who is interested in hiring a guitarist for their wedding or event! Matteo was not only an absolute pleasure to work with, he also is incredibly talented and a gifted muscian who far exceeded our expectations for music for our wedding. We were able to communicate easily in English (though I promise I am learning Italian, Matteo!) and across international time zones (between Italy and the USA). Matteo offered a fair price, learned music that we had requested for the ceremony and aperitivo, and, in addition to playing lovely music during the dinner, performed two classical pieces that were a highlight for us and for our guests. Matteo is a gem, and I would not think twice about hiring him if you appreciate the gift of music!"

"We were very happy to hire Girona Duo for our wedding. They provided us with timely support during the planning of the wedding, making it easy for us to choose the songs we wanted even though we changed them many times. The wedding day was perfect, they were very punctual and all the guests commented on how beautifully they sang and performed."

"Adam’s guitar playing was a wonderful addition to the Runnymede and Spelthorne Volunteer Awards. The performance helped to enhance a relaxed ambience and we received positive feedback from a number of our guests who included local councillors, charity CEOs and university students. I would thoroughly recommend Adam for casual and formal events"

"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."
