"I hired Jim for my 40th birthday dinner. Leading up to the event, Jim had asked all the right questions about all the necessary logistics but also what I wanted my event to feel like. On the day of the dinner, Jim arrived dressed professionally and played perfectly. He did a great opening solo and then played the right amount of background music to match the tempo of the dinner. All my guests gave me compliments for getting such a classy act for the event. Highly recommend Jim for any event you may have. "

"We hired Igor for our wedding cocktail hour, and he exceeded every expectation. His musical talent is exceptional - our guests were blown away by his performance and couldn't stop complimenting us on our choice of entertainment. Beyond his incredible playing, his professionalism was top-notch. He arrived early to set up, ensuring our ceremony wasn't disrupted and that the transition to cocktail hour was seamless. His communication throughout the planning process was excellent - he was responsive, clear about logistics, and made the entire booking experience stress-free. The atmosphere he created was exactly what we envisioned for our special day. His music elevated our cocktail hour and contributed significantly to making our wedding unforgettable. If you're looking for a talented, professional, and reliable saxophonist for your event, look no further. We couldn't recommend him more highly!"

"Athina has played both in our cafe and on an open mic night. She also regularly played the old piano at the end of cafe session. Her music and performance style is varied from classical brilliance to more modern abstract performance. Listening to her play the piano takes you off into a daydream like state. Whichever type of performance you watch, you can’t stop watching!"

"Michelle and David Macrae - Bride and Groom Ottawa Hi guys, We would like to thank you for making our wedding the most amazing night ever. We loved all your music, you guys are extremely talented. We really appreciated how you were able to learn our musical requests, especially the ones on short notice. You handled the evening like true professionals and it was obvious that you came prepared. You were very accommodating throughout the entire evening even well into the next day!! The dance floor was never empty. Thanks again and we look forward to seeing you play in the future. Best regards, The Macrae's "

"Even on a murky February morning (2005), the first performance in July of our new commission doesn’t seem too far away. Jane Roper tells us about the composer and the composition: Howard’s way If you ever get a chance to talk to Howard Haigh about composing, take it. He has a huge range of experience, good insights into the creative process, and he communicates his enthusiasm for his work so well, I guarantee you will be both enthralled and inspired. And now he's working for us! I thought you might like to read a bit of background to his career and to his current commission. Although Howard is happily settled up north in Lancaster he trained near us; a BA Performing Arts/Music at Middlesex Polytechnic was followed by a Masters in Music/Composition at the University of London. He studied composition with Brian Dennis and David Bedford; had tutorials with Michael Finissy, George Benjamin and John Cage, and studied flamenco guitar with Paco Pena, Juan Serrano, Manuel Granados and Titi Losada. We think of him principally as a Spanish guitarist, but he also studied mandolin, keyboards, percussion, harmonica and vocal techniques. He has written for most instrumental combinations, from solo guitar, small ensembles and string quartets to bands, girls’ choirs, large choruses, electronic scores and computer music. Howard combines composing with teaching throughout the north west. He has taught guitar at Lancaster University since 2000. He is a member of the English National Ballet's Education and Community Unit, and is engaged in outreach projects in schools throughout England. The nature of this work may range from musical accompanist to residencies in which he composes an original score for a short performance. He has done similar work for Ballet Rambert and the Royal Ballet. His work has been performed at the Barbican, the Royal Festival Hall, Sadler's Wells (for the Queen) and the Purcell Room; and at festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton, Cheltenham and WOMAD. One of his great strengths is his ability to collaborate with people from a wide range of performing disciplines. I've found out that as well as working closely with singers, dancers, and actors, he has also worked with jugglers, comedians, strippers, a skiffle group, film makers and performance artists. No problem working with us then. And then add a massive list of theatre companies, musicals, community projects and commissions and it's no wonder he's always out when I call. In the 1980's Howard composed some extraordinary pieces using unusual instruments. Body Music used claps, stamps, clicks and slaps. This was followed by Kitchen Music. I bet you didn't know that Alan Titchmarsh played the saucepan in this on Pebble Mill. There was also a pre-Prom show on Radio 3 featuring unusual percussion prior to Evelyn Glennie's performance. But by the late '80s his explorations were focusing on vocal writing. Crouch End Festival Chorus gave him an exciting opportunity when they commissioned him in 1990. I heard them perform Saeta again in the Barbican last January. It was sensational. I can't even remember what the second half standard-repertoire piece was; I was still high on Howard's piece and wanted them to sing it again. "
