"Dear Pete
Amazing to see The Godfather video here. It's really made me smile and brought back fabulous memories of our lovely day.
My husband could not believe his ears when he heard the opening of The Godfather as we stood at the church door and it is definitely something neither of us or our guests will ever forget. So cool! The Charpentier was perfect as we walked down the aisle - bright and cheerful and uplifting - and you made our organist very happy. Thank you, too, for playing Che La Luna Mezzo Mare as our guests moved through the hotel from the reception to the wedding breakfast, and the fanfare as we entered the ballroom. Honestly, Pete, you gave the sparkle and polish to our day.
For anyone reading this review, Pete is a fantastic musician and a top-notch professional. I booked Pete as a surprise for my husband because he had this thing about trumpeters playing from the raised pew that is in the church where we had our service . Pete was really flexible in listening to and responding to every request. He also made a number of suggestions to enhance the music I asked for and sent several videos so that I got exactly what I wanted. I can't remember what the fee was now but I can tell you it was worth every penny. Every single one!
Thanks again, Pete.

Ellen & Paddy sing Ella & Louis
"A trio evoking the famous albums of 1956 et 1957: Ella & Louis, Ella & Louis Again), the trio is completed by César (in the role of Oscar Peterson).
In a cellar bar in Paris 6th called the Tennessee, on a tiny stage but surrounded by a massive public already conquered by the group and the atmosphere they create - It feels like we are at a friends reunion.
The first set is consecrated to the recreation of the mythical duo: («Can’t We Be Friends?», «Isn’t a Lovely Day?», «They Can’t Take That Away From Me»)
But through the filter of Paddy et Ellen. We are in homage and never in imitation (except for the odd humoristic wink to the original).
They especially bring to life a music the gives great joy and pleasure
The trio is perfect in total complicity Paddy as always full of colour and vigour. Ellen – better known for her soul repertoire – reveals herself to be an excellent jazz singer absolutely in Ella’s register.
César, very serious behind them plays beautiful harmonies.
A wonderfully entertaining evening."
