RECOMMENDATIONS
"Just wanted to say many, many thanks for your playing on Saturday. My Mum really loved it and lots of people said to me how nice it sounded. I will certainly recommend you in the future! Best wishes and hope you have a lovely Christmas!"

"A fascinating musical experience" Birmingham Post
"It is a great CD with all the varying moods created. It was lucky that I found notification of your appearance on The Net and was able to combine your show with a bit of retail therapy!!! What a treat!! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you at the Art Gallery."
Pauline
"Hi Geoff, we were extremely pleased with the guitarist. He was very professional throughout and both flexible (due to the weather) and approachable (to conversation with guests). He even learnt a specially requested song for the day. I would recommend both him and The classical Guitar Agency again. P.S. the free CD was a big help in deciding."
