Review Centre: Keyboard Players

"Owning a wine bar that featured musicians was a treat, but one of my very favorite bands to listen to and work with was The Magpies. Everyone knows the songs in their repertoire, and their personalities made them a joy to work with. I can't recommend them highly enough! Kelly @ Sips & Gulps"

"I honestly don’t know what to say Craig was absolutely incredible, he was the most friendly and caring person did a great range of songs and really created a lovely atmosphere at our wedding for our drinks reception and also our wedding breakfast. He played a range of brilliant songs and we have had so much positive feedback from him. He was an absolute gentleman from start to finish, his communication leading up to the wedding was absolutely brilliant. I would certainly 100% recommend him for your wedding or for any event you are looking for. Thank you so much for making our day that extra bit special. "

We can't wait to have her back! Highly recommend 👌 "

"After the first 3 lessons, I am very happy to have Gabriel as a piano teacher. He is an excellent tutor for anyone who wants to learn the piano the right way. From correct posture, finger independence, reading music and keeping tempo, he constantly share his experience and knowledge to motivate and correct. I strongly advise."

"We loved your music thank you so much. We had some great comments from our friends too. The music during the meal was perfect and was never too loud so we couldn't hear each other! A lovely ambience. Will recommend."

"Steve put on a wonderful array of music for Gems and Aj’s Blessing of their Marriage at the OrTon Hall Hotel, from music for walking Gems down the aisle to great music for dancing later into the evening. It was all absolutely perfect. Thank you Steve. It was a Great Evening. And you made it very enjoyable."

"Paris, Galerie 19 Paul Fort, June 29, 2023, around 8:45 p.m. The trio is on tour. He had already come to our country last year, for a short tour of 3 dates in the South-West, at the initiative of Philippe Levreaud. Here he is back. The day before he was in Seine-et-Marne at the Moulin de Benne, and the days after that it will be Angoulême, Bordeaux and Puy-du-Lac. But for now they are here, for us, in this Gallery which regularly hosts the rarest music. A rustle of cymbals, the stridencies of the soprano sax, and a keyboard motif which installs a pulse: an incipit which smells good of the magic of improvised music. Then the improvisation is organized around a vehement pulse: the percussionist is at the center of the game. Not like a ‘groove machine’ which would convey preconceived ideas: rather like the living heart of an organism in permanent mutation. The pianist is in a double dialogue: rhythmic with the percussions, melodic-harmonic with the saxophonist. It is lyrical, tense, and a host of micro-events take place that bring the speech to incandescence. End of the first sequence. After brief words of welcome and introduction (Jamie Harris contributes his French) we set off headlong, towards the alto sax, in a crazy, almost Caribbean spin. Then back to the soprano, for a sort of ballad that will increase in intensity, on motifs that carry a bit of Africa within them. And this continent is still present in the following theme, which is a tribute to the musicians from Ghana with whom Trevor Watts collaborated at the end of the previous century. Throughout the concert, the music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking. In short, a bouquet of strong emotions and subtle sensations: music, in short. Audience conquered, columnist in heaven, ready to face the galley of the year to return from Porte d’Orléans to Bondy: due to ‘security measures’, no metro or bus; no RER ‘E’ but walking to Denfert Rochereau for the RER B to Gare du Nord, then line 5 to Bobigny, and 4 km of walking to reach my home. 2H45 to cover 18 short kilometres (where it usually takes about fifty minutes by public transport, from door to door). But the concert was really worth it! Xavier Prévost"

"Ed was just brilliant; he played exactly the style of music we had requested and kept a perfect mood throughout the whole evening. He started a little bit early and finished a little bit late. All our guests remarked upon his professionalism and his musical talent. He was simply the best! He listened to what we described as our perfect musical evening and he delivered perfection. His mellow jazz style set the tone for the evening and everyone loved his music. It was not intrusive, but it was always there. That ensured there were no dull silences during dinner. In addition, he was a perfect gentleman…something of a rarity these days. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone."
