I could not recommend Claudio enough. I hired him for my Mums 85th intimate garden party, there were only 6 of us. We managed to keep it as a surprise for Mum. The surprise was compounded by the fact that both Claudio and my Mum are from Parma in Italy. Claudio is clearly a master of his trade , the way he could effortlessly and seamlessly go from one track to the next was impressive. He had a great range of songs and seemed happy to play whatever we wanted him to. He played records my Mum had grew up with and had forgotten existed, she absolutely loved it and could not believe what she was witnessing. We also loved the little stories and exchanges in between the records and stayed for a good half an hour or so longer than arranged. He had read the room, essentially we were loving it. My Mum the following morning said that she thought she was dreaming it all. Thank you Claudio for making her day so special.

The duo were excellent, I would highly recommend them. All the guests said how good they both were as musicians. Played a variety of different music which had everyone up on there feet dancing. Especially playing the Welsh National Anthem, to a jam packed venue of Welshman and women.

He was wonderful on our wedding day. He helped us strike just the right note we wanted during a part of the day when our guests were enjoying the venue's grounds by roaming with his accordion to delight everyone. All our guests were also so impressed by how he would take any request and instantly be able to perform it! We felt lucky to have met and been treated to the skills of such a gentleman and fine musician. Punctual, talented, deferent to the wishes of guests - the perfect performer!

We held an Italian evening and the duo were amazing and made the night really special for our residents and locals who came. They were very professional and on time which made the night run smooth. We would definitely book them again.

I just wanted to feedback that he was absolutely fantastic and completely made the atmosphere everything we wanted. All of our guests loved him and we had so many compliments on his fantastic repertoire (including lots of Tom Jones for my Welsh relatives!!). We really could not have asked for anything more! Thanks to everyone involved for making everything run so smoothly.

He was a great addition to our day! We both wanted to incorporate some Italian traditional music at our drinks reception and what better way to do this than having an accordionist. Our family were so taken by his playing that it got them up dancing in the gardens at our venue! You can tell from his extensive repertoire that he is very experienced, he knew ever song that got requested by our guests and of course he was also a lovely friendly chap to have around on the day! Would highly recommend him to anyone considering booking an accordionist. Thank-you
