Testimonials

Wedding	Damian and I spend a long time searching for the perfect piano player for our special day. We knew what we wanted and although there were a lot of very good players out there we wanted our pianist to have a real touch of class. We found Carl on the internet and after hearing his music and watching his videos we knew we had hit on someone special. We arranged a meeting and after five minutes with him we were sure he was going to be the man for us. Needless to say he was fantastic. His music choices were spot on and everyone commented on how he really set the atmosphere. THANK YOU CARL!
Private Party	I have booked Carl on a number of occasions to perform during our Officers Mess ball for the past three years. He his highly professional, punctual and incredibly competent. He has the rare ability to play both beautiful classical music for our meal and the most energetic modern songs in the bar afterwards. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any type of events.
Xmas Party	We book Carl to play at our Christmas party each year and it is without doubt a great evening every time. The guys love giving him requests and he plays them all! He makes Greenday tracks sound like they were written for piano. Very much recommend him.
Piano Bar	Carl has been playing for us for just over four years and he is a big hit with our customers. He's great at chatting with them and loves taking requests. He can literally play anything from old songs to songs released this month... make sure you ask for his jazz cover of Katy Perry.. its amazing! He does a regular Jazz night for us so why not pop in for a drink?
