Book with confidence! After events, we ask our clients what they thought of our acts. We publish what they say here, so you can read genuine, unbiased feedback before booking.

“We wanted to celebrate in style and create an occasion that would stay in the memory for a long time. Jazz played live on the piano creates an informal atmosphere that helps people relax and is that bit special. Toby's playing was excellent - as a musician I wish I could have just sat and listened. Also the level of professional service was very good, very friendly and easy to talk to. All in all, Toby has helped to make this a memory we will treasure.”

Nick , Private Party in Warwick, 2019

“Toby was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He chose his own repertoire to fit the theme of the evening, liaised well with the venue staff and played wonderfully. He was reassuringly professional and fitted in seamlessly with the organisation of the event. I would not hesitate to recommend him.”

Hannah, Corporate Event in Birmingham, 2018

“Toby played piano at our party on 20 June; excellent communication, arrived in plenty of time and played beautifully. Thank you.”

Alice, Party in the West Midlands, June 2018

“Toby was amazing. We hired him for our garden party and he just got on with it. No fuss, just sat down and played some fabulous tunes. A true professional, good looking, well dressed, respectful player who did everything we asked. Would definitely recommend him and book him again. Thank you Toby.”
