Performance
Joanna Starkie:
"Luke Scurr was perfect for our wedding day! He was professional and genuinely helpful throughout. He helped us with music choices and even learnt new songs for us. On the day his playing was beautiful and lots of guests commented on it. Would give him 6 stars if I could. Thank you Luke!!!"
Douglas Markey:
"Luke played guitar for our wedding ceremony and reception afterwards and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He helped us choose the right songs and even helped us with a microphone for the ceremony itself. He played beautifully as well as being really friendly and helpful all the way through."
Hannah Allen Brown:
"Luke played at our wedding, and was absolutely amazing. Aside from his beautiful playing, he truly went above and beyond. Not only did he learn the music for a song to accompany my mother's singing, but even arranged to chat and practice with her beforehand. Music is such an important part of your big day, and you won't be disappointed with Luke. If there were six stars, I'd give them!"
Ann Sheppard:
"Luke played for us during our wedding ceremony and during the meal and went on through the evening when he was accompanied by a fantastic singer, Sinead. The music was perfect from start to finish with Luke taking the time to learn songs of our choice. Luke gauged the mood of the guests throughout the day and played accordingly creating the perfect atmosphere. It went better than we could have ever anticipated! Thank you so much! I would highly recommend Luke."
Olga Antimonova:
"Thank you again for providing such an excellent performance at our party. A lot of the guests have praised your music."
Samantha Ott:
"Luke was a pleasure to deal with and played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and drinks reception in August 2017. My only regret was not hearing enough of him as we were whisked away for photographs! He was happy to learn songs for us to allow us to tailor our ceremony the way we wanted it. An absolute pro, wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you Luke!"
Carl Quarman:
"Luke played at our wedding reception and was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and very accommodating and tailored his performance for the audience. Would highly recommend."
Jolanda Aldis:
"Thank you so much for making our wedding such a special occasion. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, we look forward to hearing more!"
James Fisher:
"The music you played and ambience created was perfect for the occasion and exactly what we wanted. Our friends and family all commented on how brill you were. Thanks again!"
Tom and Nicola O'Rourke:
"Nicola and I loved having Luke play at our wedding ceremony. His classical guitar as people sat down was beautiful and there were tears in everyone’s eyes when he played ‘Blackbird’, Nicola’s favourite song as she walked up the aisle. It really set the day up perfectly and Luke was a brilliant addition to our wedding day. "
Sarah Lewis:
"When planning our wedding, we wanted particular songs, but we didn't want to just play them on a stereo. We also wanted a particular feel - acoustic, low-key, beautiful.
Luke took the songs we wanted - Time has told me by Nick Drake, and I Will by the Beatles - and created bespoke arrangements of the songs that felt really authentic to the originals, but also sounded beautiful on a solo guitar.
Luke was very willing to work with a singer of our choice, who he'd never met before. He worked to best showcase her voice too. Luke took our big day really seriously and delivered!
I would recommend Luke to anyone planning a wedding who wants an intimate, personal touch."
Sam Howard:
"I have really enjoyed my lessons so far - I couldn't have found a better teacher - you have definitely inspired me....."
Pete Lewis:
"I had a love of guitar music, and a guitar, but was an absolute beginner in playing. I didn't have the confidence or the knowledge to play any music, so my guitar just sat in the corner of my room, unloved and unplayed.
Luke helped me to get familiar with my guitar, he helped me to find basic examples of the music I loved and could pick up quickly. He then gave me the skills and the confidence I needed to take on more as I progressed.
Luke is the most musically gifted person I've ever met. His passion for music is totally infectious, and his sense of humour means that lessons are fun as well as productive.
Luke is a fantastic teacher, I'd recommend him for anyone: from beginners looking for a place to start, to anyone whose guitar is sitting neglected in the corner of their room, and whose skills are getting rusty."
Zoltan Haas:
"After a pause of more than 10 years I decided to pick up the guitar again and I needed a coach to help me get back in shape.
It’s been a year since Luke started to work on my guitar playing and I’m very happy with the progress I have made with his guidance. He gave me very valuable feedback both technically and musically, which I could incorporate into my playing. I now have a much better foundation and I feel confident enough to learn more pieces to build up my own repertoire.
I highly recommend Luke for his professionalism and high teaching standards."
