"Good morning, Major Dirk!
I honestly cannot thank you enough! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We are still talking about you and will probably be doing so for a long time. Your incredible skill, your passion, and the pride with which you wear the title of Piper truly made an impression on all of us.
You added something so very special to our celebration and made the evening unforgettable. You were, without a doubt, the most wonderful birthday gift my husband could have wished for.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for making the occasion so memorable! When you came around that corner playing Flower of Scotland, we were all caught somewhere between awe, wonder and sheer disbelief. It was one of those moments that took everyone’s breath away. You looked every bit the part and performed with the skill, dignity and presence of a true Royal Piper. It was simply magnificent!"

Godfrey Johnson - Pianist/ singer/comedian
"Review: Godfrey Johnson soars as VASLAV at The Fugard Theatre
This was my first time seeing this stunning piece of theatre and I am not surprised by all the glowing reviews and the three Fleur du Cap nominations it received. Godfrey Johnson throws himself whole-heartedly into his performance and is quite mesmerising.
The play is based on the diaries written by Vaslav Nijinsky and was brought to life by a combination of Johnson, Karen Jeynes and Lara Bye. It was also directed by Bye. I particularly loved the simplicity of it all - or at least how simple it all seemed on the surface. There was nothing simple about Johnson's performance or the excellent attention to detail in the staging. The whole piece moved with a musicality that was befitting of the subject matter, and yet there was virtually no actual dancing in it.
Johnson's ability to talk to and fully engage with the audience as he played various characters, all while sitting at the piano and playing, is extraordinary. I loved how a small change in hand placements could signify a different character. There was no need to spell it out. Johnson merely adjusted his posture and you could see he had become someone else.
The musical score gave me goose bumps. It really captured the fractured state of mind of Nijinsky. The soundtrack, virtually all played by Johnson live through the performance, soared from light and airy so you could just imagine this dancer leaping through the air, to staccato or dramatic as he gets confused and his state of being deteriorates.
Review: Godfrey Johnson soars as VASLAV at The Fugard Theatre ImageThe lighting and overall staging of VASLAV is a thing of beauty. A plain archway with a white curtain stands at the back and shows the audience a projected image of a hallway as if seen from the hospital room Nijinsky was confined to. Other projections included images and short videos of Nijinsky and other characters. There is a piano to one side, where a lot of the action takes place as Johnson provides a soundtrack to his own performance. Other than that, the lighting (originally designed by Jon Keevy) moved with the flow of the piece to complete the mood of each moment.
My only technical quibble is with the use of the two microphones on stands. I think the performance would've been better served if Johnson had a mic on him. He moved around too much, making it very obvious when he was speaking into the microphone and when it wasn't able to catch his voice. This was especially noticeable on the mic standing away from the piano.
Overall, it's a clever piece of theatre that makes you fe it's a clever piece of theatre that makes you feel things as the music, the movement and Johnson's utter commitment to the character pull you along. It felt raw and real but at the same time surreal, as if it were all just a dream."
Strings & Keys by Conner
"If I could give a higher rating, I absolutely would. Conner was incredibly punctual, professional, and accommodating throughout the entire process. Although I did not personally get the opportunity to experience his full performance, my guests had nothing but wonderful things to say. They were thoroughly impressed by the versatility of his music and the atmosphere he created.
Beyond his talent, Conner is also warm, friendly, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to book his services again for future events.
Thank you so much for helping make my day even more special. I had booked you with the intention of setting the tone for the evening, and you truly delivered. You created the perfect atmosphere and set a wonderful standard for the rest of the event."
