"PAZ DEL CASTILLO is one of the top pianists and modern-classical composers in all of Spain, and her recent albums have spread her exceptional music worldwide. Now she sums up her career so far with her latest album TRES: BEST OF PAZ DEL CASTILLO. But this is more than just a Best Of compilation. Yes, it does have eight of the best tracks from her studio albums over the past few years, but it also has three new tunes never before on an album, plus two pieces from her first album which was primarily heard just in Spain. This means a big chunk of this album is new to the world. Five of the original compositions originally appeared on her NOW album which was a Top 5 recording on the main international chart for gentle contemporary instrumental music (the Zone Music Reporter Top 100 Chart). Whether playing soft or forcefully, del Castillo has an immediate appeal with that certain something that is the mark of a truly original and great pianist. Simply sensational."

"Ciaran is a superb guitarist with a great feel for the instrument. He’s been playing for years and you can hear this in the quality of the sound. Match that with a great singing voice, as well as all the other instruments he plays, and you’re in for a great experience. "

"Edward performed on our wedding on the 31 May 2021 and we could simply not have asked for a better choice! When you plan a wedding, you are literary dealing with a million things and various suppliers at the same time and this can be very overwhelming and stressful. As soon as we connected with Edward, we immediately felt reassured and that we don’t have to follow up with him at all, as he is extremely professional and responsible. The communication with him was very smooth and easy and he was also, very fast to get back to us - we just knew for sure, that the music will NOT be one of the things that we would have to worry about on that day! Also, apart from the fast that he is greatly talented in what he does, he was very flexible with our special song requests too, which also made our planning easier and of course our wedding day, even more special! Edward - Thank you so much for your great performance during our wedding and your overall help! We could not recommend you more to any one who is looking for an amazing and stress-free music option either for a social or corporate event!"

"We were unable to get a violinist that we knew to play at my daughter’s wedding. We had a few recommendations from others and after a lot of searching I stumbled across the site for Up State strings. Jada was wonderful to work with and this was a pretty short notice need. She was great at communicating with me and made it super easy to book her for the wedding. Jada arrived and was set up early. She was very professional and did an outstanding job with the music we requested. Would use her again and highly recommend her and Up State strings. Thank you Jada "

"We needed someone last minute because the previous pianist cancelled on us but were so glad that we found Patrick! He played a crucial role in making our anniversary celebration unforgettable. His heartfelt piano renditions of romantic classics created a romantic and intimate atmosphere that was beyond our expectations."

"I have been taking piano classes with Gabriel for about two months now. I can say that Gabriel is an excellent piano teacher. He is very professional yet not intimidating. I have no musical background. He is very patient. Also, he explains very well the musical concepts. I can follow easily what he plays on the piano. He is very accommodating if class time needs to be changed. I absolutely recommend Gabriel as a piano teacher!"

"Appeared 2 hours before any of my guests had arrived. Steven quietly set up and he knew when to start without having to say a word. I live in an apartment building and I was little worried about noise level but it was just beautiful. When my guests got a little loud he kept the volume just right . As long as I keep having my annual party, I'll be seeing him each year. "

"Dan was easy to deal with and very helpful. He turned up punctually and soon got set up. He did an outstanding job, with an extensive repertoire. He certainly hugely contributed to the success of the party! My family would definitely hire him again. "

"Craig played at our wedding ceremony last week and was a wonderful and integral addition to our day; the style was perfect for the occasion and made the ceremony magical for us and all our guests. The set up was great, as Craig was able to be discreet with equipment but the sound filled the room we were in. Having Craig play guests into the room, the entrance and exit songs and then playing guests out was wonderful, he went above and beyond to personalise the music to suit us and our guests and learnt songs specifically for us. The whole event was wonderfully performed without a note missed and it truly wouldn't have been as emotional and special without Craig there. We will be delighted to recommend Craig to all our friends and family to play at any event or social gathering! "
