Photo of Sue Cottrell - wedding pianist Sue Cottrell - wedding pianist "A brilliant experience! Sue was very quick to respond to organisational queries prior to the event. As musicians, Sue and Lloyd were first-class, and fitted in perfectly with the professional, yet relaxed, atmosphere of the launch." Based in Newport, Wales Toni P - Launch Photo of Caroline Wallis-Newport Caroline Wallis-Newport "Dear Caroline Thank you so much for playing at our wedding at Rook Lane Chapel – it was beautiful and really made the day special having ‘live’ piano music. Best wishes, Becci & Andy" Based in Yeovil, England (47 miles from Newport) Becci & Andy - Private Wedding, Rook Lane Chapel, Frome Photo of Rebecca Rose Cellist Rebecca Rose Cellist "We booked Rebecca for our wedding and she was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and kept in regular contact in the lead-up to the day, which really put us at ease. Her song list was fantastic, with so many beautiful choices — but what meant the most to us was that she learned my walk-in song especially for the reception. It was such a magical moment and truly added something unforgettable to our day. Her performance was stunning, and so many of our guests commented on how talented she is. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re thinking about booking her, do it — she helped make our wedding perfect." Based in Stourport-on-Severn, England (60 miles from Newport) 16th November 2025 Afeera Aslam - Wedding Photo of Dar.Ra Dar.Ra "Hype Magazine USA Cure For Jealousy A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.” The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole. Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well. Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas. Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning. Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating. It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment. The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance. The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic. Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil. He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion. “Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."

I would definitely work with him again!" Raphael Dawkins - Vocalist DJ - RD ENTERTAINMENT" Based in Birmingham, England (77 miles from Newport) Raphael Dawkins - Ibiza saxophone Photo of The Italian Tenor The Italian Tenor "Yuri sang at our wedding in May and it really made the occasion incredible. He was extremely approachable and receptive to what we wanted and easily managed 5 songs of very different styles in three languages! He sang so beautifully as I walked up the aisle I started crying immediately. Our guests were wowed. We couldn’t have hoped for better. Thoroughly and happily recommended" Based in Bracknell, England (97 miles from Newport) 22nd September 2026 Ilan Adler - Wedding
