We are so glad that we booked Peter to perform at our wedding drinks reception. He played music from a range of eras, and it was ideal for our festive winter wedding in a Medieval venue. We knew he’d be perfect as soon as we listened to some of his sample tracks online, and in person he was even better. Peter provided a great atmosphere, he was friendly and got on well with the guests. Peter phoned a couple of weeks before the event to discuss our preferences for musical eras and instruments. We asked for a range of things (including a few Christmas carols), with slightly more Hurdy Gurdy, as it’s our favourite period instrument. Our guests loved Peter’s performance, as did we, and we 100% recommend him for events. We’ve had lots of comments afterwards from people saying how great he was. Thank you, Peter, for helping to make our day so memorable and festive!
Fantastic! Peter was absolutely brilliant and made our wedding day even more perfect! What a talented musician he is - I would not hesitate to recommend Peter. 10 out of 10... Thank you very much indeed!
Top marks for Peter's performance.
Peter was an important part in making our wedding day so special. Perfect performance and a good bloke - "Tobacco is like Love" - highly recommended.
Booking was straightforward and easy. Peter was magnificent. He caught the mood and atmosphere of the venue (16th century College Hall) exactly. Wonderfully entertaining and accommodating. Thank you Peter
Peter was extremely courteous and was a great success with the guests.
We were delighted with Peter's performance - he provided exactly the type of music our son had requested. Unfortunately a fire alarm went off for a few minutes but this did not detract from his playing! He was also most charming and obliging. Many thanks Peter!
