Photo of Louise Dearsley Louise Dearsley "Absolutely incredible experience, Louise listened to all of our requests and help make our wedding truly special. All our guests commented on how well she played and some even wanted an encore! Incredible performer and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much" 16th August 2026 Helen Moody - Wedding Photo of Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' Garry King 'Drummer and Music Producer' "BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A ​"Garry King as a drummer and producer brings a quality of musicianship and professionalism seldom seen. He is just the kind of person our industry needs." ​" 18th August 2026 BOB SAPPORITI VP - WARNER NASHVILLE U.S.A - Drummer Photo of Alex Choi Violín Alex Choi Violín "Hola Alex! Acaban de irse los últimos invitados! Un millón de gracias por tu actuación anoche. Yo cumplí un sueño y todos mis amigos alucinaron con tu música. Ojalá podamos volver a disfrutar de arte. Un abrazo fuerte 😘✨" 31st August 2026 Cristina - Cumpleaños Photo of Orestis Violinist Orestis Violinist "I couldn’t recommend Orestis highly enough! After another musician unexpectedly cancelled just a few days before my planned marriage proposal, I found Orestis at very short notice – and looking back, I honestly couldn’t have wished for anyone better to accompany such an important moment in our lives. I had planned to propose to my girlfriend on Falassarna Beach at sunset, and everything needed to remain a complete surprise. From our very first conversation, communication with Orestis was excellent. Despite the short notice, he took the time to discuss every detail with me, helped coordinate the timing, and made sure everything would happen exactly as I had imagined. I was able to choose the songs in advance and we carefully planned when he should start playing so that my girlfriend wouldn’t suspect anything. He even has his own portable sound system that does not require a power connection, which made it possible to have beautiful live music directly on the beach. And then came the most important part: Orestis played the violin absolutely beautifully. Hearing Can’t Help Falling in Love while asking the woman I love to marry me, with the sun setting over Falassarna, was a moment neither my fiancée nor I will ever forget. ❤️ Everything was perfect – the music, the timing, the atmosphere and the coordination. My fiancée absolutely loved it, and our entire family was equally impressed. Apart from being an excellent musician, Orestis is also an incredibly kind, warm and genuine person. It was truly a pleasure having him there, and I am very grateful that he became part of such a special moment in our lives. Thank you so much, Orestis, for helping make our engagement unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience and would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional musician for a proposal, wedding or any other special occasion. Petro & Michelle ❤️🎻" 7th September 2026 Petro - Marriage Proposal Photo of The Cover Babes The Cover Babes "Absolutely fabulous night with the cover babes highly recommend everyone enjoyed the music" 17th September 2026 Julie Fynan - 65th Country Cowboy themed Birthday Party Photo of Drummer/Percussion Drummer/Percussion "I got a great review directly from the client on the venue. She mentioned that she searched widely for th kind of sound and performance I do and she was extremely happy in the end." 18th September 2026 Pamela - Organizer
