We hired Geoff to play at a recent event in our London store. The feedback from customers in attendance was overwhelmingly positive. The live music presentation was an important element in creating a special, bespoke experience, and really contributed to the overall ambience of the night.
Whenever he plays I always receive many favourable comments about his music and the quiet and unobtrusive manner with which he entertains our guests. I have always found him to be extremely professional.
Geoff played almost continually for the entire evening at a sound level that nicely filled the background and we would recommend him to anyone who wants to have sophisticated live music for a commercial or private event.
It was a perfect touch to a beautiful day for Mark and I. The sound of Cavatina is constantly on my mind. Many people commented on the beautiful music and my Mum was especially pleased when you granted her wish and played Greensleeves.
I will certainly recommend you to our friends and colleagues in the future.
A number of people commented on how perfect the music was and how it contributed to the atmosphere of a beautiful summer wedding. Mike and I are both very grateful to you for playing and helping to create some very evocative memories of our wedding.
