"Our experience has been that Glyn’s original music was of a high standard and consequently we are booking Glyn for similar future events.
His music is well suited to venues and events who require either a foreground headline act or background “mood music”.
Glyn is a versatile musician and has the rare ability to adapt his format The venue and to the occasion. This helps keep customers and make sales.
Glyn’s range at ZEST included both upbeat toe tapping funky piano tunes and intimate songs which get you thinking."
"Good piano players are rare but great ones are even more rare.If you need some “piano spice” then Glyn’s your man."
- MARK HARRIS - MANAGING PARTNER - Event Action Ltd
"An engaging performer with real talent who delivers a style of performance that connects easily with the audience.
Easy listening, refreshing but always musical. Lend him your ear and be surprised..."
