Weddings
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your lovely guitar playing at Ben and Lindsay's wedding last Saturday. The classical section was beautiful and your evening session was brilliant. Everyone was amazed and enthralled by your skills. People kept saying 'who is that guy - he's fantastic'. And you were - you helped to make it an unforgettable day."
Irene (Mother of the Bride, Wedding, Sussex)
"We wanted to thank you again for everything on the wedding day. We really were delighted with the music, both the classical throughout the drinks reception and the evening reception. Loads of our guests commented on how good you were and thought it was actually a record playing!"
Gillian & Neil (Wedding, Loch Lomond)
"My family really enjoyed Martyn playing at Pittodrie House Hotel for the evening reception. He is a great musician with a wide and varied repetoire so there's something for everyone. Martyn is a professional, first class entertainer, highly recommended."
Andrew (Wedding, Dumfries)
"Just to say thank you very much for performing at our Wedding. You were amazing as always and everyone's commented on how good you were. See you soon."
Laura & Scott (Wedding, Biggar)
"... His vast range of musical talent shone through and was picked up on by the feedback from the guests most of whom had never heard Martyn play before. A special thanks to Martyn also for learning a very special song for our first dance it meant a lot to us. He is so versatile in what he can play that we would not hesitate in recommending him for your special day. ...
Moira & Stephen (Wedding, Carluke)
"... thank you for an AMAZING wedding reception. Everyone has commented on how much fun they had and how great u were. As you know the dance floor was packed all night, we couldn't have asked for any more...."
Charlene & Scott (Wedding, Larkhall)
"Thanks so much for an excellent afternoon/evening's entertainment. ... We knew to expect a great evening but you exceeded that expectation by a mile! ... you delivered a set that had everyone young and not so young up on the dance floor at some point. There were even a few folk who refused to believe that this was the same guy who a few hours earlier had been playing Spanish guitar on the terrace while we drank champagne in the glorious sunshine ..."
Sarah & Jon (Wedding, West Sussex)
"A massive thank-you to Martyn ... When we were speaking to the staff at South Lodge Hotel after the Big Day, they made a point of saying to us that you were the best wedding entertainment they had ever seen! ..."
Lisa & Dave (Wedding, Surrey)
"Kris and I would just like to say a big thank-you to Martyn for agreeing to play at our wedding. ... We had quite a few comments before the wedding as to were we sure that one man on guitar was enough - listening to those same people after the wedding they have done nothing but rave about him and to quote 'its the best party they'd been to in ages' ... we couldn't have asked for a better end to the day!! We certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone."
Claire & Kris (Wedding, Sussex)
"Let me say that Paul and I were really impressed by your performance at our Wedding Reception. You were better than we had even hoped for and believe me our expectations were high. We have had so many people compliment you on your playing and singing, I don't think they thought one man could do all that!"
Rebecca & Paul (Wedding, Sussex)
"For our Wedding, Martyn played the classical guitar for us during the Wedding Breakfast, and it created a fantastic ambience for the meal. He also played at our Evening Reception, and it is wonderful to look back at some great pictures of a dance floor packed with our guests. The clever thing about his music for a wedding is that it spans the generations so everyone joins in. I know that my father was thrilled to be granted a wish to have his special song played for me at my wedding. Martyn learned the song especially and kept it as a surprise for me on the day. Martyn also learned 'our song' for the First Dance. He performed a fantastic version of the original, it was amazing as all he was given was a CD to listen to. It was such a great personal touch to make the day extra special."
Andrea & Peter (Wedding, West Sussex)
"Thank you SO much Martyn - you made our special day absolutely perfect! As always, you wooed the audience, dazzled the ladies and you made the bride cry ... (in a good way - which isn't easy to do!) The song you learnt for us for our first dance was absolutely breathtaking. Knowing that it was just for us, was so emotional and you did us proud."
Tracy & Martin (Wedding, West Sussex)
Guitar Lessons and Music Tuition
Donald (Guitar student, Glasgow)
"A massive thank you Martyn for all your patience, guidance and most importantly fun guitar lessons! After only 10 months of lessons I have learnt more and improved my playing beyond what I had previously in 8 years of playing!! You're the man!!!"
Ian (Guitar student, Glasgow)
"... I really enjoyed that the guitar lessons were organized around the kind of music that I like ..."
David (Guitar student, East Dunbartonshire)
Private Parties
"I have booked bands and cabaret acts for many years, and you are one, if not
THE BEST I have ever heard. Not only are you brilliant on guitar, you can also
back it up with a great voice. You were very accommodating as regards times
etc, performed like a top professional and have a great personality, which shone
through, as you took time between spots to talk to a lot of our friends on the
night. The guests at our Ruby Wedding / Birthday Party were aged from 19
to 83, and the praise from all sections was phenomenal. My niece of 20
even asked why you had not been allowed to play more, whilst other more mature
guests could not believe how good you were. But the last hour, when just
about every person danced every number, was the best hour of entertainment I
have ever witnessed. Thanks.....Thanks......Thanks....."
John and Nancy (Ruby Wedding / Birthday Party, Irvine, Ayrshire
"Feria Properties International Limited is very proud to be associated with Martyn. Martyn plays classical Spanish guitar at our Spanish Property Ferias, held regularly at our permanent exhibition suite in Horsham. Indeed, Martyn is featured in our advertising campaigns on numerous radio stations in the South East. Our Spanish associates remarked that Martyn's guitar playing was more authentic than anything they have heard in Spain. Many of our clients are amazed that we have flown a guitarist all the way over from Spain just for our Feria!"
Feria Properties (Spanish Property Company, England/Spain)
"Thanks Martyn for a truly marvellous evening in which you emulated virtually every major guitar hero from the 60's to the present. Everyone was really impressed by your guitar playing skills (and your singing!)."
Richard (Private event, Glasgow)
"Just a note to thank you for helping make my party a great night. You are never sure how these things will turn out with a mixed crowd but everyone to a person has commented on how great the music was and how much it contributed to making it such an enjoyable night for all."
Kirk (Birthday party, Cumbernauld)
Public Gigs
"I've just returned from Ye Olde Inn where I watched your set tonight and I have to say I was absolutely blown away by your note perfect covers of so many numbers .....you are indeed a very talented guy!
Guy (Edinburgh)
Transcription, Tabulation and other Musical Services
"Martyn, the tab was 1st class, not that I would expect anything less from 'the Master'. And the CD was top notch!"
Davie (Musician, Ireland)
"I listened to your CD yesterday, AND IT MADE ME CRY! It's fantastic ... and the last song 'Without You' just finished me off completely! Martin is gonna LOVE IT!!! Thank you so much - I'm absolutely chuffed to bits!"
Tracy (Personalised Birthday CD, West Sussex)
