Review Centre: Clarinet Players

"A Efrayim Fischbacher brought the house down at Dublin clarinetWorld with a performance and volume masterclass that will live long in the memories of all who attended. At 95 years old, Fischbacher is nothing short of a living legend, and his wit, charm, and unparalleled energy made for an unforgettable experience. Known as “the world’s loudest clarinet player,” Fischbacher more than lived up to his reputation. His booming renditions of classic jazz standards filled the room with a vigor that belied his age. At one point, he even shouted his catch phrase, “Oompah!” to the delight of the audience. The masterclass itself was equal parts education and entertainment. Fischbacher peppered his teaching with captivating anecdotes from his days in the 1950s jazz scene. His tales of smoky clubs, impromptu jam sessions, and larger-than-life characters were as colorful as his clarinet playing. Despite his larger-than-life persona, Fischbacher was generous with his knowledge, sharing practical tips on controlling dynamics, enhancing tone, and, of course, projecting sound with authority. Aspiring clarinetists and seasoned musicians alike left with invaluable insights—and a newfound appreciation for the art of making a statement with volume. Efrayim Fischbacher’s appearance was a celebration of music, history, and the sheer joy of performing. His charisma and storytelling were as commanding as his playing, and his presence at clarinetWorld was a true gift to all who were lucky enough to be there. Bravo to a legend who continues to inspire across generations!"

I can highly recommend Jan, he was absolutely fantastic , so talented , everybody loved his music and was the perfect addition to a sunny afternoon in the garden. Jan was perfectly on time arriving early to set up, he sent me a huge play list with plenty of options to choose from prior to the party and he was so professional. Thank you Jan, I hope we get to hear you play again !!"

"Marino and Italian wedding band, played for us at our beautiful wedding reception in Casale Doria Pamphilj near Rome. They started off with a surprise magical serenade during the meal, enchanting out guests as they wandered amongst us! After cake cutting, they took the party inside to the dance hall where things really got going. They mixed old classics and with all our favourites and kept the dance floor alive all night! They played late into the night and then handed over to an awesome DJ set. Thank you Marino and all the Italian wedding band for making our wedding night one to remember!! Our guests are still raving about ye :)) "

"I can’t recommend Vicki enough, her performance for my garden party was amazing. Nothing was any trouble, my guests had a fabulous time, my playlist I sent over she played them fantastically. I will most definitely book again and recommend her to anyone that wants a saxophone player. I honestly felt like was in Ibiza. Thank you!! (10 / 10) "

"Marino and his band is absolutely fantastic. If you are looking for a band to play at your wedding look no further. Everybody had a great time and Marinos band just made our wedding perfect. We loved the songs and we had a great time dancing. It was also very nice to have Marinos band playing live music at our ceremony. Thank you again Marino! We will never forget the great time we had with you and your band at our wedding. Greetings to Rome, Benedikt & Laureen"

"Fabulous performance! Nikita was extremely professional to work with as he was very responsive, flexible and timely. He was open to creating a set list exactly to our needs and really brought the energy to our dance floor. All of our guests were raving about his performance. I would highly recommend Nikita for any wedding or party event if you are looking for something super entertaining and a little bit different than just a DJ or band"

"Vicki was a delight to work with from initial conversations until the event day. Playing outside on the hottest day of the year didn't phase her; she brought a fun, vibrant and energetic atmosphere to the event when our runners needed it most! (10 / 10) "

"I asked Dave Taylor and his keyboard player Mark to support my 60th birthday party by playing some background Jazz. They were fantastic. Their Jazz lifted the atmosphere of the party to another level. Guests were soon to their feet dancing. Will definitely be asking Dave to support another event. Thanks Dave."

"You played our wedding at Hemswell Court, we would like to say what a wonderful job you did of receiving our wedding guests to the reception. You provided a back drop of wonderful music whilst guests arrived, chatted and mingled. I recall a number of tastefully humerous moments also which made us smile, in particular, your timing of the song 'lady in red' whilst a female guest in red was passing by!! Your music could be heard alongside the birdsong from the summers day in the garden and we will cherish this sound in our memories forever. Your music was everything we had hoped it would be and more besides, With sincere thanks and best wishes, Mr and Mrs Booth "
