Review Centre: Musical Acts

"We entrusted Organista e Voce Lugano with the music for our wedding ceremony, and they made it truly unforgettable. From the beginning, they were incredibly helpful and responsive, guiding us through the selection of pieces and offering valuable advice. They understood exactly what we wanted and translated it into a perfect musical program. On the day of the wedding, their performance was simply breathtaking. The organ filled the space with a powerful and elegant sound, while the voice added a layer of emotion that touched everyone present. Each moment of the ceremony was enhanced by their music, from the entrance to the final exit. Everything was perfectly timed and executed with great care. Our guests were deeply impressed, and many complimented us on the music. It made a huge difference and contributed significantly to the atmosphere of the day. If you are looking for a professional, talented, and reliable musical service, Organista e Voce Lugano is an excellent choice."

"Steven Kahn recommends Old School, Classic Rock. May 23 at 9:27 PM · This band is the real deal. They perform through a vast catalog of classic songs by Deep Purple, Doors, Jethro Tull, Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad, Kinks and so many others with unparalleled intensity, musicianship and authenticity, as well as top notch vocals. At times, you can close your eyes and almost believe you are actually listening to the band they are covering in the prime of their careers - this band is THAT GOOD. I highly recommend Old School, Classic Rock for a powerful musical experience you will never forget! "

"The Sydney Jazz Collective was completely outstanding. Great liaison prior to our event and everything went smoothly on the night. Seamless setup, great variety of music and the band helped with the backing of a special number sung by the guest of honour on the night. Great musicians and great music of the highest calibre. I will recommend to all my friends."

"I booked Sue and Sally as a surprise for my Mum’s 60th birthday and to say they were exceptional is an understatement. From the moment of first getting in touch, they had excellent communication. They were really flexible with arriving and setting up to keep the surprise. The performance was incredible - they are extremely talented artists. Sue and Sally are also just lovely people and it was a pleasure to be entertained by them. Will definitely book again and all my mums friends are wanting to book them too. Cannot recommend them enough - simply wonderful!! Thanks so much!"

"Ruby sang at our garden party on 7 July 2018 and was simply amazing. All the guests loved her and she really made the party atmosphere. We gave her a list of songs which she sang and added to judging the timing of the event and mood of the guests, and we were up dancing. I knew right away after speaking to her on the phone that she was the right person for us. She communicates with professionalism and warmth and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for any event. Thank you so much Ruby for making our party memorable and special. "

"Jools composed and remotely recorded violin sections for 3 of my tracks: Just For a Day; Roman 7; Boneyard. The tracks have an American influence but would fall under the indie genre. Essentially, the remit for Jools was to 'bulk them out' with strings. Although I had not actually met Jools in person (and still haven't), he was extremely responsive when communicating via email and therefore didn't need to meet. Before agreeing, he encouraged me to listen to his back catalogue - I was impressed with the breadth and depth of genres that Jools had worked with and I was pleased to learn he had worked with a couple of acquaintances of mine- namely The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Chris Tye. Listening to his work, I was impressed by his knack around texturising songs- in my experience, strings can sometimes feel isolated from the rest of the instrumentation and I am aware that some string players find this aspect of composition challenging. Throughout the process, Jools ensured he had a secure understanding around my expectations. This brought about discussion around dynamics, chord progression technique (tremolo, tied sections etc). Although he was happy to read from transcript, I felt that his take on composition would be much better than mine, so he kindly agreed to compose the parts himself. After recording the first version, he sent me recordings via YouTube- he even went to the trouble of including a running text commentary of his thoughts within the video itself. This meant that I could give better feedback and bounce off his ideas. I was especially amazed by the turnaround (3 days to complete the process) as I had not set any deadlines or ball-park timeframes. Jools' playing is technically perfect and he has an exceptional ear for harmony and dynamics. e.g. He knew not to play for the sake of playing, and when to build to crescendo. He was able to add a range of chords, hooks and new melodies to the song. In Boneyard, the melody in the instrumental chorus ended up becoming the dominant hook- this was totally unplanned. Much like his violin playing, the overall recording quality was very professional. If you are looking for an outstanding string player who is both technical and visionary, Jools would be my number one recommendation."

We certainly won’t be forgetting this one in a hurry, thank you for helping us create some great happy memories!"

"On December 1st 2018 our daughter Kerry married her partner Clare at the Milky Way Wedding Barn. The previous year we attended a Wedding Fayre where we spotted Tim playing the saxaphone and we promptly booked him to play at their wedding. The girls didn’t have any particular thoughts on what music they wanted at the time and Tim was extremely helpful with suitable suggestions especially the classical pieces. Tim patiently awaited their choices and didn’t even blink an eye when bizarrely one of the songs they asked him to play afterwards for fun was the Benny Hill theme tune !! This went down very well indeed with all. I suppose a saxaphone isnt the usual choice for wedding music but I have say it was perfect. It sounded mellow and smooth during the little ceremony and upbeat and fun for the champagne reception afterwards. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Tim again and I hope we have the opportunity to do so at some point. We had lots of feedback from our guests wondering where we found Tim and all thoroughly enjoyed listening to him and I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a few bookings from our part of Devon in the future. Many thanks Tim from all the Davey family. (10 / 10)"
