"Family Party Dave was very engaging, prompt, professional and versatile. Wide range of music genres that kept the crowd dancing, singing and having fun.(ages 6 months to 70’s). Great storyteller behind the mic, very personable and likable while preforming and on his breaks. Highly recommend." John M"

" 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"

"Will is fab. He's very quick to reply and is keen to make sure that you're happy with the drums. As I am someone who can't play drums and can just about find their way round a drum machine, he's very tolerant of my lack of technical knowledge and his excellent communication means there's no misunderstandings. He has a great instinct for what his clients need and produces very professional sounds. Thank you! I shall be back..."

"Sergio brought so much to the live setup — not just as a drummer, but as someone who really understands the feel of the music. He’s got great instincts, always locked in, and made everything sound way bigger. Super easy to work with too, which made the whole process smooth. Definitely someone I trust on stage."

Not only was he incredibly talented, but he also knew exactly how to engage the crowd and keep everyone smiling and dancing. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved his performance. He truly made the event unforgettable!"
