Photo of Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair Elise Pelo & Nadia Mair "Yuko is a brilliant, charismatic musician. During our collaboration at Dronfield Music Tuition and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals I admired her proactiveness, organisational skills and most importantly her reliability as a team member. She is a very talented pianist and instrumental tutor and her maturity is evident." Based in Heanor, England (8 miles from Derby) Antigoni A - Hospital Performances Photo of Gala Brass Quintet Gala Brass Quintet "Gala Brass Quintet played an excellent concert recently which really showed off their musical ability and professionalism. They played a range of music including classical and modern which was very well received by the audience. The concert was well run and enjoyed by all. Thank you." Based in Nottingham, England (14 miles from Derby) Shona Reed - Concert recital in Nottinghamshire Photo of Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo Casado - A Classy Saxophone and Guitar Duo "We booked Casado for our wedding on the 14th March 2020 and would highly recommend them. Sharon and Martyn were professional, supportive and made our ceremony very special. From the very beginning, Casado were there to support our ideas, offer suggestions and took away a huge element of stress by liaising directly with the venue which was a great help on the lead up to the day. Casado offer great flexibility with regards to what they can offer, for our ceremony we had solo guitar whilst guests were seated and then violin and guitar duet for the ceremony including music whilst signing the register. Casado are excellent musicians with lots of experience and the feedback from our guests was amazing. Thank you for being part of our special day." Based in Birmingham, England (35 miles from Derby) Chloe and Josh - Wedding- Pendrell Hall Photo of Scherzando Strings Scherzando Strings "Excellent communication prior to the wedding and helped us to choose our music. Very punctual on the day and they played our music so beautifully. Having the quintet added fantastic live music to the occasion. I would wholeheartedly recommend these musicians to anyone wanting live music.

Thank you, Sophistication Strings, for your beautiful playing." Based in Kidderminster, England (49 miles from Derby) Margaret C - Party Photo of Rondino Strings Rondino Strings "Well, where do we start? Rondino strings were absolutely fantastic and nothing was too much trouble! They learnt an unusual request (the pokemon theme tune!) And then adapted it to make it suitable for a bridal party entrance. All of our guests commented on how amazing they are, they are worth every penny and really added some of our personality to the day with our chosen songs. Please book them for your celebrations - you won't forget it!" Based in Manchester, England (50 miles from Derby) Rosie & Mark - Wedding
