"Filippo was relaxed, gracious, fun, and above all, sounded great. We have had so many friends and family come up to us (still - nearly six months later!) and say how great the music was! "

"Tom and his partner were nothing short of fantastic! Really great communication, very accommodating with our requests and were brilliant musicians. It was for a friends stag do - we wanted some background jazz tunes for a bbq and then a more fun interactive set which they were able to provide. All round good fun. Would highly recommend! "

"We had our wedding in Dubrovnik and Marko and Ivona were fantastic, they were so easy to deal with and were the perfect accompaniment to our ceremony. We would recommend them to anyone and could not have wished for more. Thank you!"

"We stopped to listen for a few minutes and ended up staying much longer. He was so kind, asked where we were from, and then started playing a local artist on the guitar, which was such a fun surprise. The music was beautiful, and the whole atmosphere felt relaxed and genuine. I left feeling joyful, peaceful, and honestly just really happy. It was one of the best afternoons I’ve had in a long time and a highlight of our trip. Thank you for sharing your talent and creating such a special moment."

Amy! Jeff! Thank you so much again! So rare to cross paths with people from a Musically Monumental City like faraway Seattle! I do hope you had a great time as yes, you too indeed helped me having a great time!

"I’ve never seen any other artist play for three and half solid hours without taking a single break. We love Michael, I can’t even put into words and he’s, we look forward to his visit every year and it’s the only band I stop what I am doing and come out and watch. He could play anywhere and fill any venue and here he is and I always say I am so humble he is here. He could play downtown Calgary somewhere in a venue eight times this size and have it packed full."

"Great event! Although the rain kept some people away, those that attended had a great time dancing and listening to James. We will book him again!"

"I found Roger after intense google searching and emailing many many musicians with low response. Roger replied within a couple hours, was not only available but very accommodating. After a brief chat, I realised how down to earth he is. My fiancé and I had a song in mind that Roger was unfamiliar with but with a positive attitude - he learned it within a few days. On the day itself, hearing him play was the most calming feeling and I am very grateful of that. Roger played the song we picked beautifully and continued with many others in his repertoire. Later he even played for my husband and I when we had a moment to ourselves. It was a beautiful day and would definitely not have been the same without Roger. Thank you so much "

"Chris performed at my son's christening party and was an absolute hit! Everyone from old to young had a brilliant time singing along to the music and all complemented him on what an excellent act he was with a wide range of music. Chris also was very professional, punctual and helped to host the christening party which made the day run smoothly. I would highly recommend Chris and will be booking him again for future events."

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.

"I contacted Miguel for musical interludes during a contemporary art exhibition. His taste and skill in creating musical textures, alternating between delicate passages and moments of greater intensity, demonstrated a deep understanding of both his instrument and the purpose of our event. Thank you!"
