John T

Wedding in Montalto Estate, Northern Ireland

"Sam's cello playing was fantastic at the drinks and canapés reception after my daughter's wedding, as was his selection of music - ranging from Baroque through modern and pop to film scores. His backing tracks were subtly blended and I lost count of the number of guests who said they loved his playing. He was also very easy to deal with, got there early, started promptly and played longer than we asked him to. Strongly recommended. You'd need a robust reason to look further for a solo musician for this kind of event."

"The Piano & Cello music for my daughter's wedding provided by yourself and Sam the Cellist was absolutely stunning. It is always a worry when you are hiring people that you don't know but it really couldn't have been any better. You are both extremely talented and I would highly recommend you. The piano/cello combination is so beautiful and you should both be proud of your level of competence. There were many complimentary comments on the music. Thank you very much."

"A huge thank you to Sam for his support, musicianship and time for such a tricky brief. We are so grateful that Sam was able to help us form the assembled quartet for this Celebration of Life service. Everyone was blown away by the music, and we have had so many comments about the high quality and the immensely moving nature of the performances. We are indebted to Sam for assisting us with this, and all the prior preparation, at such a difficult time. His positive nature, extensive repertoire, willingness to work with our pianist & singers and ‘can do’ attitude to everything we were asking for was just the most calming thing for us, and we are really so pleased that we found him! He was polite, professional, super respectful & a delight to work with throughout – thank you Sam, you’re a superstar."
