Testimonials and Feedback<br />
“<strong>Michael</strong> has played at our wedding venue and was excellent. His musicianship was faultless,<br />
and he was professional and very friendly to deal with."<br />
Greg Beedle; Gants Mill<br />
"I attended 4 classical guitar concerts of <strong>Michael</strong>'s on the P&O Oceana and found each of<br />
them a moving and wonderful experience. His technical skill ensured each piece was<br />
interpreted perfectly giving me the intended imaginary scene complete with relevant emotion.<br />
In between pieces he was informative, self-effacing and absolutely charming...quite a delight!"<br />
P&O Cruises; Passenger Feedback<br />
"Thank you for the great concerts on the P&O Adonia we really did enjoy them and your<br />
company. Trust you and your guitar arrived home safe and sound!"<br />
P&O Cruises; Passenger Feedback<br />
"Hi <strong>Michael</strong> No words could come near to say how much I enjoyed your performance last<br />
evening. It was simply heavenly, and for me, could not be matched anywhere else! To be<br />
basking in lovely music so beautifully performed was such a privilege and enriching<br />
experience. I loved the way those gentle tones faded away to a whisper in the Satie, and the<br />
flamboyant drama of the Giuliani. These are just two of the so many sources of great<br />
inspiration for me. You and your new guitar are a perfect match! Looking forward to next<br />
time..."<br />
Gloucester Cathedral; Audience Feedback<br />
"Dear <strong>Michael</strong>, On behalf of all at WVM, a huge thank you for giving us a great concert this<br />
afternoon. The audience were greatly appreciative, not only of your technical skills but of your<br />
obvious passion for the music and love of the instrument. Your communication with the<br />
audience also added greatly to the understanding and enjoyment of the varied and well<br />
chosen programme!"<br />
Organiser; Wye Valley Concert Society<br />
"I found <strong>Michael</strong>’s playing very evocative - in the Spanish pieces I was transported back to a<br />
hot summer in the nineties when I stayed in Aranjuez overnight and visited that wonderful<br />
palace, and the to Granada with its Moorish overtones and the hints of flamenco.<br />
Mesmerizing!"<br />
