Laura Sutherland Saxophonist
"I found Laura through a local music agency when I was considering the possibility of providing l music to our guests before our marriage ceremony and in the pre wedding breakfast period as a surprise for my husband. I was charmed be her manner when we first spoke. She instantly understood the mood I wanted to convey. She has an extensive repertoire and was able to provide music that absolutely fitted my ideas. I was a little concerned that it might be difficult for her to be heard outside but her amplification system was perfect for both indoor and outdoor performance.
I would love an excuse to hire Laura again- we enjoyed her playing so much and our guests were so complimentary about her music. It was just perfect.
I mean every word! We wish you so much success in your career.
Di Culshaw and Adrian Wilkinson"
Peter Bull
"We are so glad that we booked Peter to perform at our wedding drinks reception. He played music from a range of eras, and it was ideal for our festive winter wedding in a Medieval venue. We knew he’d be perfect as soon as we listened to some of his sample tracks online, and in person he was even better. Peter provided a great atmosphere, he was friendly and got on well with the guests. Peter phoned a couple of weeks before the event to discuss our preferences for musical eras and instruments. We asked for a range of things (including a few Christmas carols), with slightly more hurdy gurdy, as it’s our favourite period instrument. Our guests loved Peter’s performance, as did we, and we 100% recommend him for events. We’ve had lots of comments afterwards from people saying how great he was. Thank you, Peter, for helping to make our day so memorable and festive"
Jan Holena Sax
"I cannot recommend Jan enough, from start to finish. He communicated on a regular basis about the genre of music and collaborated with my DJ to prepare for the evening. Jan really got the party going , he created a brilliant atmosphere on the dance floor which got everyone up dancing. Finally not only is he professional in his approach but he is an amazing saxophonist, I would highly recommend to anyone for their party."
Cecil Jones CJ
"We honestly couldn’t recommend Cecil enough! He was absolutely brilliant and made our wedding day even more special. The saxophone brought such an amazing atmosphere and energy to the day, and our guests loved it.
Cecil was professional, friendly and incredibly talented, and the music was perfect for the occasion. We’ve had so many compliments from our guests about how good he was.
Thank you so much, Cecil, for helping make our wedding day so memorable. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a saxophonist for their special occasion! 🎷🙌🏾"
Claire Holdich
"On two occasions I have had the pleasure of hearing Claire perform. A glorious occasion was my marriage to Angela in the church, made even more memorable by Claire’s sensitive, beautiful and faultless playing of the flute at most significant parts of our service. At our small reception she also provided very appropriate ambient music for flute which was very much appreciated by all who were there."
Dan Gribbin Music
"Dan was amazing from start to finish, We asked Dan the special request of playing our First Dance for us and he literally made me cry at the start of the Dance, I sent him the song we wanted and he played it exactly like we wanted,
All of our Guests were blown away with Dan and he filled the dancefloor everytime he came on.
Thankyou again Dan for such an amazing night, you definitely made the night for us"
