Roger Lewin Piano
"It was a very worthwhile booking. Roger, Phil and Sarah-Jane provided our Group with great music that afternoon. Highly recommended"
Kit Packham
"Kit was booked to perform at a adult / children’s party.
Kit was excellent and managed to blend the first set into an entertaining piece for the adults and kids.
To a second set which was a perfect piece for a transition and background piece while w rate food and the kids relaxed.
The third set was much more upbeat, grey for the adult entertainment and brought an excitement to the evening.
I would not think twice about hiring Kit again. He manage our requirements perfectly , by listening to what we required and delivering on every request.
The feedback from all our guests was exceptional!
Thank you Kit and hopefully we will see you at the next event.
Roy and family"
