"I can't recommend rough justice highly enough. When booking my wedding entertainment, Noel was professional and friendly and the quote was very reasonable. On our wedding day, many guests said how much they enjoyed the live band, which started with soft music to more lively, singing great modern tunes. Really pleased, would book again!"

"Pianista Verona accompanied our ceremony and reception in Verona with elegance and sensitivity. Every piece was performed with care, creating moments of pure emotion during the ceremony and a refined, welcoming atmosphere at the reception. The mix of classical and modern music was perfect, making the live performance a central part of the day without ever being intrusive. His professionalism and flexibility exceeded all our expectations. "

"Rating 5/6 : Very Enjoyable Absolute Mayhem The Horse & Chains, Bushey on Saturday 30 September 2023 It's a rare thing to go into a local pub and hear a keyboard player who has been described as a musical "genius" by none other than David Bowie. This is no tall story either. The musician Billy Ritchie was the first player in rock music to give keyboards a prominent role -- and that was before Keith Emerson (ELP) and Rick Wakeman came on the scene. Billy told me that he remained good friends with the Thin White Duke until his death in 2016. Lanark-born Mr Ritchie now provides the skilful and fancy keyboards and records backing tracks for his latest incarnation Mayhem with talented female singer Carol Leslie. Carol is a really strong vocalist with a gutsy style. This dynamic duo started their first set at the cosy Sebright Arms with Elvis's late sixties' classic Suspicious Minds. The second song was a surprise -- Kirsty MacColl's comedy number There's A Guy Works Down The Chip Shop Swears His Elvis. It was a perfect choice after the first song. Carol and Billy select their material wisely and give their audience something very different from the predictable Mustang Sally, Brown Eyed Girl and I Saw Her Standing There, churned out by so many pub bands. So it was great to hear Georgio Moroder and Phil Oakey's electro smash Together In Electric Dreams, Matchbox's catchy rocker Rockabilly Rebel, Starship's uplifting We Built This City (on which Billy demonstrated his keyboard dexterity) and Solomon Burke's gospel-ish Cry To Me. And that was just the first half. Carol is happy to tackle songs usually associated with male vocalists and she started part two with a raucous version of Bryan Adams' rocker Summer Of 69. If you have never seen Mayhem, ask Billy to perform Light My Fire, the Doors rock classic from 1967. This was a sheer musical masterclass as he re-created both vocally and instrumentally this great song. Billy has a rich, tuneful voice and this was a stunning performance. Other highlights in the second half included Journey's rock anthem Don't Stop Believing, Carol's gritty interpretation if Shania Twain's Man I Feel Like A Woman and a fine performance of Bon Jovi's Living On A Prayer A total of 24 songs and I cannot wait to see this duo again. My only concern is their name. I think many club and pubgoers might think Mayhem are a heavy metal band rather than an all-round, top class duo.

"We are so glad we asked Craig to play the piano for our wedding at The Coniston Hotel. He played both the drinks reception and wedding breakfast and our guests all complimented how talented he was and what lovely music he played! We were so pleased with Craig, it was a beautiful addition to the wedding to have live music and the songs he chose went perfectly with the intimate tone of our wedding. Thank you very much! "

" Michael Sharp is an exceptionally talented pianist and keyboard player who brings not only skill but also passion and artistry to every performance. His ability to connect with music and audiences alike is truly remarkable. Whether playing classical pieces, modern tunes, or heartfelt improvisations, Michael has a way of creating an unforgettable experience for everyone fortunate enough to hear him. He approaches every event with professionalism and care, ensuring that his music perfectly suits the moment. Michael played at our wedding in July of 2017, and his performance was nothing short of extraordinary. From the ceremony to the reception, he crafted a beautiful and personal soundtrack that elevated the entire day. His attention to detail and dedication to creating a meaningful atmosphere truly made our wedding special. The warmth and emotion he conveyed through his music were felt by everyone in attendance, leaving a lasting impression on our guests. On a personal level, Michael is one of the best people I know. His kindness, reliability, and genuine nature make him a joy to work with and be around. He’s someone I would trust wholeheartedly, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled musician for a wedding, party, or special event. Michael’s talent and character set him apart, and I am so grateful to call him my friend."

"Paris, Galerie 19 Paul Fort, June 29, 2023, around 8:45 p.m. The trio is on tour. He had already come to our country last year, for a short tour of 3 dates in the South-West, at the initiative of Philippe Levreaud. Here he is back. The day before he was in Seine-et-Marne at the Moulin de Benne, and the days after that it will be Angoulême, Bordeaux and Puy-du-Lac. But for now they are here, for us, in this Gallery which regularly hosts the rarest music. A rustle of cymbals, the stridencies of the soprano sax, and a keyboard motif which installs a pulse: an incipit which smells good of the magic of improvised music. Then the improvisation is organized around a vehement pulse: the percussionist is at the center of the game. Not like a ‘groove machine’ which would convey preconceived ideas: rather like the living heart of an organism in permanent mutation. The pianist is in a double dialogue: rhythmic with the percussions, melodic-harmonic with the saxophonist. It is lyrical, tense, and a host of micro-events take place that bring the speech to incandescence. End of the first sequence. After brief words of welcome and introduction (Jamie Harris contributes his French) we set off headlong, towards the alto sax, in a crazy, almost Caribbean spin. Then back to the soprano, for a sort of ballad that will increase in intensity, on motifs that carry a bit of Africa within them. And this continent is still present in the following theme, which is a tribute to the musicians from Ghana with whom Trevor Watts collaborated at the end of the previous century. Throughout the concert, the music breathes under other horizons: Hispanic, Latin American, Middle Eastern. With sometimes melancholy accents that often resolve themselves into intense pulsations, towards a lyricism that is as torn as it is heartbreaking. In short, a bouquet of strong emotions and subtle sensations: music, in short. Audience conquered, columnist in heaven, ready to face the galley of the year to return from Porte d’Orléans to Bondy: due to ‘security measures’, no metro or bus; no RER ‘E’ but walking to Denfert Rochereau for the RER B to Gare du Nord, then line 5 to Bobigny, and 4 km of walking to reach my home. 2H45 to cover 18 short kilometres (where it usually takes about fifty minutes by public transport, from door to door). But the concert was really worth it! Xavier Prévost"

"We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect pianist than Max for our wedding day. From the very beginning, he was so easy to work with and incredibly accommodating. He even let us choose songs that weren’t on his list, and his advice on what would and wouldn’t work well on the piano was so helpful—it made such a difference in creating the perfect atmosphere. On the day itself, everything was played beautifully and completely seamlessly. The music added something really special to both the ceremony and the rest of the day, and so many of our guests commented on how amazing it was. Max was professional, talented, and made the whole experience stress-free for us. We’re so grateful for the part he played in our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pianist."

"Gabriel is a wonderful tutor, I like his approach and understanding. I am an old person, and trying to review by myself was difficult. But when I started my lessons with him everything was different. He is patient , knowledgeable and focused. I am enjoying my lessons with him and looking forward for more ."
