"We were absolutely thrilled with Jason at our wedding - totally professional, prompt, a superb piper and the guests loved him too. His playing made the occasion. Would not hesitate to recommend him."

"The band were truly excellent. Extremely pleasant people who fulfilled all of our brief. I was particularly impressed by them spending sometime before our party in rehearsing the songs my wife wanted to hear and which were not part of their normal repertoire. They managed to get everyone up and dancing which for a small group of 50 year olds is quite something! Our friends said it was one of the best parties they had been to and everyone had a truly fantastic evening. They played well past their allotted time and I really could not recommend them highly enough. Thanks very much for helping organise this and I would definitely use them again if I ever had the need."

"Sunil was easy to communicate with from beginning to end. His performance was spot on with our request, relaxing old school bollywood to upbeat music and singing. Highly recommend him if you are looking for a solo entertainer. Truly amazing and perfect for our party."

"Once again the Manor House was packed to capacity for what turned out to be a good humoured and very instructive concert. Dressed in period costume with a dashing feather in his cap, Peter Bull treated his audience to a range of airs and ballads from the time of King Charles I. His quiet and unprepossessing manner immediately endeared him to all present and he soon had feet tapping to the brisk rhythm of the hurdy-gurdy. A carefully constructed introduction to each instrument — the aforementioned hurdy-gurdy, the flute, dulcimer and lute, and the type of tune about to be played or sung, added to the enjoyment of the evening. Although lacking the nuances of later music with its elaborate crescendos and embellishments, Peter Bull gave his audience an insight into the vigour and love of words and music enjoyed during the period of the English Civil War and the early renaissance."

"Álvar was an absolute pleasure to work with! He was soo prompt with responses - as we planned our wedding from Canada. Álvar was very flexible with choosing the volin pieces to play, he was also very creative with figuring out what pieces would work for different parts of the wedding. Thank you soo much for making our day absolutely perfect! "

"In a word... FABULOUS! These guys gave us just the sound we needed for our fun Prohibition-theme wedding. It is now two weeks later, and all we keep hearing is "Man, that band was fantastic!" They are worth the asking price (which is very reasonable to begin with!) Steve Curry is a great guy and very easy to deal with. I would recommend them without any reservations."

"“Musical Wizard:” Against the backdrop of the oak-panelled Great Hall, and under the hooded gaze of Lord Preston’s impressive portrait, Peter Bull, resplendent in black velvet and sporting a large ostrich-feather hat, took us through a tour of the music and instruments of the Civil War. The Hall itself was used as lodgings for the Roundheads and one could imagine the music echoing down the centuries to a very different audience. Peter Bull performed two different concerts, beginning with a selection of tunes by John Playford (1651), played with great dexterity on the hurdy-gurdy (or wheel fiddle), a cross between a violin and the bagpipes! In contrast, he then performed the popular Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Ben Johnson) and Gather Ye Rosebuds (William Lawes) on the lute. "

"Terrific and magical Having Chris come to my cousin's birthday was one of the best decisions I have made. My family thought he was absolutely perfect and loved his music. My cousin was happily surprised and was thankful for his attentiveness. He arrived promptly, set up, and played for the agreed amount of time. What I found so endearing is that he spoke to my cousin to get an idea of what songs she would like to hear. My cousin has a difficult time speaking due to her brain cancer, but Chris was very kind and took the time to understand her. I would definitely keep him in mind for future events. "

Thank you Jannette! It was a special performance for me as well. Your cousin was a dear and I am always amazed at the power of music to reach all of us. I grateful that you chose me to perform for this special birthday. It will always be a treasured memory!
