Testimonials and reviews

"From start to finish Brian was nothing short of epic! We wanted a pianist for our wedding ceremony and from the moment we booked Brian he was very communicative, super friendly, listened to all of our slightly strange requests and made them all happen, down to the last detail. On the day, Brian arrived well in advance of the start, and was playing his gorgeous music to the guests (and putting me at ease) well before the ceremony began. Yes, his music is SUPERB, but for me, what made Brian most incredible was his ability to read the room. We had a song mid-ceremony (which we thought could potentially be badly sung by guests), but not on Brian’s watch… he led us all in, added fun bits into the song, picked up the pace when needed, and gave us all the confidence to “belt it out.” Just a true professional with a personal touch. Brilliant Brian!"
Adam S, Wedding, London

"Recently had Brian and his jazz band for my parents’ birthday dinner. Brian performed really well and they were very accommodating to the last-minute changes we needed to make during the event. I appreciate them playing my requested songs. Will definitely hire them again for my next event."
Nanthan N, dinner party, London

"We hired Brian for a small get-together in May and he was absolutely fantastic! We requested a mixture of pop, Broadway, and Disney music and he provided just that. Very talented musician and made our event come to life. Also, he was very punctual, took requests, and made sure we were perfectly satisfied with the music. Will definitely have him back again in the future! Thanks, Brian!"
Pamela H, Party. London
