"Alexandre was incredibly helpful and professional in helping me set up a gig in Paris. I had asked him to find me a venue, which turned out to be perfect, and after only one rehearsal he accompanied me beautifully as I sang 12 songs by Jacques Brel. It was a very successful gig, all of which was down to his enthusiasm to make the evening everything I had hoped it would be.."

We would fully recommend to hire Iryna to play the piano at your event!"

"Matt played piano during our wedding cocktail hour, and he was absolutely amazing. His music created such a beautiful and elegant atmosphere while our guests mingled, and it truly elevated that part of the evening. So many people came up to us to say how much they loved the music. Matt was professional, punctual, and very easy to work with throughout the process. We’re so grateful he was part of our wedding day and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented pianist for their event!"

"After listening to Tim's music on Spotify and loving his unique style and incredible skill, my wife and I booked Tim to play at our wedding reception at Daisy Bank Manor earlier this year. Tim kicked off by playing one of his own tracks - Magnesium Black - for our first dance, which set things off to a great start! He played an absolutely brilliant set, full of energy all the way through and kept people on the dancefloor all evening right up until we were kicked out! We and our guests had a great time, with Tim playing a perfect mix of classic dance hits, crowd pleasers, and some of his own songs, all with his unique guitar mashing to keep things really interesting! Ahead of the wedding, Tim was very helpful all the way through, with prompt, clear communication, and really took the time to get an idea of what kind of music we wanted. We highly recommend Tim Scott Guitar if you're after a brilliantly energetic and unique party! Thanks Tim Scott Guitar!"
