testimonials

“I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to you and your team for the superb music in Shrewsbury Cathedral for our wedding. The music was even better than I had hoped for and will be indelibly marked on our marriage and my memory for the rest of our lives. It was absolutely beautiful. And those sentiments are very much echoed by everyone else who was there – and those listening on Zoom! O Magnum Mysterium and Non Nobis Domine in particular are probably my two favourite pieces of music. And with only a small choir and an organ I thought you delivered them brilliantly.” ...continue reading

Shrewsbury Cathedral
Choir, Trumpeter, Organist & Director - July 2020

“We want to write a personal note of thanks to you and your superb musicians for the joy you provided us all at the Marriage Service. We, as Tom’s parents had Emma, Simon and the quartet where fantastic! resigned ourselves to whispering hymns in rather a silent church, so to hear the beautiful pieces of music so carefully planned by yourself, Tom and Alice and performed by you all, was simply wonderful and uplifting. Despite a congregation of thirty guests the sound filled the cathedral as if we had a huge choir - in fact the trumpet lifted the roof off -congratulations! We know everyone present felt the same and adored the whole service. It was definitely the high spot of what was a hugely special day for our families! Thank you for an irreplaceable gift - a memory we shall hold for ever. We so appreciate your considerable efforts to organise such a performance for Tom and Alice. For us, it was the second time - you might remember, fifteen years ago you arranged the music at our daughter’s wedding in Wimbledon. With grateful thanks” ...continue reading

Shrewsbury Cathedral
Choir, Trumpet, Organ - July 2020

“I felt I must just drop you a line to say how wonderful the music was for the wedding. I had hoped to have a chat with you and see if you could come back to the marquee for a glass of champagne etc but didn't have the opportunity. Every single person I spoke to asked about 'the choir', and several had been so moved by the wonderful voices and music. They couldn't believe it was just 8 people and it was quite beyond their expectations for Norfolk! It was such a treat and will be remembered always…something which could not have been bettered, as far as we were concerned. They created an atmosphere which lasted for the rest of the day - it was a joyous occasion. I would be so grateful if you could pass on our thanks to all who participated. I do hope they enjoyed doing it as much as we loved hearing it.” ...continue reading
