"I had the absolute pleasure of hosting Michael in my home for a private concert through a wonderful organization called GroupMuse, which brings classical musicians into living rooms for intimate and accessible performances. He was so great to work with, very professional and punctual. His music talent is just incredible. Very skilled and clearly very passionate about music...from classic pieces to his own compositions. I would be honored to be able to hear him play again. "

"Will played at our wedding during the drinks reception and the meal. The music was absolutely stunning and it set the tone perfectly while people were mingling and chatting. We opted for a mixture of well known tunes and some lesser known Spanish themed music and everyone loved it! He is very talented and we were delighted he was there for our day! "

"I am so lucky to have found Valentin! He is an immensely talented musician, having him play for my Fiancé and I made my proposal unforgettable. I had a very specific request for him to surprise her and play a song I asked for by name. Not only did he take the time to compose the song to be played on a violin beautifully (his composition was more moving than the original song) but took the extra time coordinate the surprise with me and executed all of it perfectly. Responsive, kind and talented. If you need a violinist you could not find a better player."

"“I had the pleasure of working with Martin in 2018 at five events organized by HEP Opskrba. Cooperation with him was easy, pleasant and professional. Martin possesses a natural talent for music as well as being a trained musician. His artistry and creativity in playing cello and accordion is something that makes him unique and special. Every minute of his contact with audience was extremely powerful and emotional. I highly recommend this young musician to anyone who expects remarkable performance of the highest standard.” Nada Podnar Marketing Director, HEP Opskrba "

"Jools composed and remotely recorded violin sections for 3 of my tracks: Just For a Day; Roman 7; Boneyard. The tracks have an American influence but would fall under the indie genre. Essentially, the remit for Jools was to 'bulk them out' with strings. Although I had not actually met Jools in person (and still haven't), he was extremely responsive when communicating via email and therefore didn't need to meet. Before agreeing, he encouraged me to listen to his back catalogue - I was impressed with the breadth and depth of genres that Jools had worked with and I was pleased to learn he had worked with a couple of acquaintances of mine- namely The Birmingham Philharmonic Orchestra and Chris Tye. Listening to his work, I was impressed by his knack around texturising songs- in my experience, strings can sometimes feel isolated from the rest of the instrumentation and I am aware that some string players find this aspect of composition challenging. Throughout the process, Jools ensured he had a secure understanding around my expectations. This brought about discussion around dynamics, chord progression technique (tremolo, tied sections etc). Although he was happy to read from transcript, I felt that his take on composition would be much better than mine, so he kindly agreed to compose the parts himself. After recording the first version, he sent me recordings via YouTube- he even went to the trouble of including a running text commentary of his thoughts within the video itself. This meant that I could give better feedback and bounce off his ideas. I was especially amazed by the turnaround (3 days to complete the process) as I had not set any deadlines or ball-park timeframes. Jools' playing is technically perfect and he has an exceptional ear for harmony and dynamics. e.g. He knew not to play for the sake of playing, and when to build to crescendo. He was able to add a range of chords, hooks and new melodies to the song. In Boneyard, the melody in the instrumental chorus ended up becoming the dominant hook- this was totally unplanned. Much like his violin playing, the overall recording quality was very professional. If you are looking for an outstanding string player who is both technical and visionary, Jools would be my number one recommendation."

"Gemma is not only a wonderfully talented singer but a true professional. She arranged my walk in music and was happy to edit the music perfectly to how I wanted. She is an expert at weddings so the way she arranged the music and the timing were perfect. I Don't think I could have done it without her. All of my guests were astounded at the sound of her voice and felt like they had experienced something truly special, which they certainly had. It was talked about all day and ever since. It was such a highlight of my day. Thank you so much."

"Michael arrived early with his cellist. They were friendly, polite and the hit of my dinner party. We had classical music lovers in attendance who were especially overjoyed. Michael played pieces that perfectly fit the vibe of my Victorian Halloween party. He even went over the top and took time to prepare a specially requested piece. "
