Reviews

“I researched extensively before asking Matt to play the piano at our civil partnership in the Rose and Crown, Colchester. I knew he was what I wanted because the online videos were excellent.
The performance was superb. He played for an hour before the ceremony and for an hour after the ceremony. Actually, he went over and was very supportive. I could have listened to him all day. Perfect, and I knew all the tunes (and were not too jazzy, if you know what I mean).
I would recommend him highly."

Would highly recommend using Matt's expert piano skills and professionalism."
