"Je viens d'écouter ton enregistrement, bravo à toi et aux autres musiciens! C'est très agréable à écouter et pas si sombre que ça, comparé à Almost blue de Chet Baker, une des rares musiques que je connaisse vraiment de lui avec My funny Valentine. Cela m'a surtout fait replonger dans l'ambiance d'un très bon film noir de Louis Malle de la fin des années 50 à Paris " Ascenseur pour l'échaffaud", la BO est de Miles Davis"

"Thanks for helping to make our wedding so fun and exciting. Everyone had a fantastic time. They all pretty much agreed that this was the best party they have ever attended. Some guests are considering throwing a party just to repeat the performance! Thanks for all of your attention, efforts, and energy! Patricia and Eric"

"Ian’s single aims to give a lift to anyone struggling Singer-songwriter Ian Thompson has released a new single ‘Starting Today’, which he hopes will provide ‘a lift’ for those struggling with their mental health or addiction. It’s available now on all digital platforms. Ian said: ‘It’s been on my mind a lot recently, as many people I know are suffering with mental health and addictions. There have been some tragic cases on the island, and I just wanted to write this song with the message that it doesn’t have to be like this, there is always a way out and every day is a new day.’ Born in Liverpool, Ian moved to the island 13 years ago, after meeting his now wife during a trip to the island when he visited some friends. When he moved, he decided to become a full-time musician, and frequently gigs in venues across the island, as both a solo artist, and with a band. He added: ‘I have worked in telesales, taxis, music shops, done office work, you just do what you can to get by, but the one dominant thing in my life that I have always done is my music and playing in bands.’ Ian has been writing music for years, and one of his songs ‘You’re my Liverpool’ has been added to Liverpool Football Club’s playlist. He explained his process of writing music. ‘I usually come up with a tune first, if I like the tune, then I come up with lyrics to go with it,’ he said. The words usually just fly out of me. I have never been short of things to say, and I think the tune dictates what the words are going to say.’ As with much of his music, Ian’s latest single was recorded at Ballagroove Studio, run by Gyp Buggane. Featured artists on the track include saxophonist Sammy J and piano was played by Ian Wright. Ian has more songs in the pipeline, and on top of his gigs and song-writing, he is looking to build his own recording studio with the help of Gyp."

"Dave played in the gardens for a drinks reception, he was at the right volume to hear but blended into the atmosphere. Dave did a great job and I would use him again with no hesitation"

"Where do I start... thank you so so much for such an amazing performance for my Grandma. She absolutely loved it, as did the other residents and staff. Thank you for being so engaging not only with your voice but with all the lovely chatting in between, it was so nice. It really was a very special morning and made her birthday."

"Please will you pass on our thanks to all members of Mr Swing’s Dance Orchestra. We have such good memories of our friends having a great time when the swing band was playing and loads of people have been in touch to say how much they enjoyed the music. We really hope to see you perform again in the North West but until then we shall continue enjoying listening to the CD – it has enlivened every car journey since we returned from honeymoon. Many thanks once again."

"Exactly what we wanted. I'm still receiving great comments about Mark nearly four months later. The way he played and sang the modern pieces worked amazingly well. Thanks, Mark"
