When our wedding guests first arrived they were greeted by the beautiful music of Theo Bishop. He was absolutely wonderful. I highly recommend him for your event.

He played elaborate arrangements I had picked out for my wedding ceremony music, and played them beautifully. He was also kind in playing for extra time when the ceremony was delayed. Very personable and positive. :)

I am privileged to write a review for Theo Bishop. We hired Theo to play piano for our daughter's wedding ceremony, and could not be more pleased. He was wonderful and fun to work with, extremely competent, charismatic in personality, and perfectly reliable. As a pianist myself, I can accurately evaluate his work as highly qualified and proficient. He was willing to play not only pieces that we requested, but specific arrangements that we requested! I find myself trying to think of events where we could hire him again in the future! To sum up, we.loved.Theo!

On Sept 1, 2012, Theo and The Cheap Knick Knacks arrived hours prior to the event with little to no instructions from me. I was busy attending to my other vendors and the venue's coordinator. The band not only knew where to set-up, but had to work with my DJ who was set-up right behind the band. I was so glad that worked out well without any of my input.
Our wedding was a 1920s themed wedding and not only were the guests dressed to theme, but the band as well. We are of Asian decent, so the older folks are used to folklore music. However, they were blown away when the band hit the first not. Fast forward a month later and I'm still hearing praises about the Knick Knacks.
I just wanted to say thank you.
Hope you don't mind me posting a video, if so I can remove it.

WE HAD THE THEO BISHOP BAND PLAY AT A FOUR HOUR BACKYARD PARTY FOR A GROUP OF 20 SATURDAY GOLFERS AND SPOUSES. THEY PROVIDED GREAT BACKGROUND AMBIANCE. THE PARTY WAS WHILE THE OLYMPICS WERE ON AND MANY PEOPLE COMMENTED THE PARTY - WITH THE HELP TO THE BAND - MADE FOR A TRUE GOLD MEDAL EXPERIENCE. THE BAND WOULD BE WELCOME BACK ANYTIME. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND NICE PEOPLE.

Theo Bishop provided age appropriate music for my event! He was personable, entertaining, and engaging. I received great feedback from guest. "I really liked the keyboard player" "Oh, that music was so nice" "What a great idea to have a pianist" "The music was good, will you give me his number." There were absolutely no complaints. My man "Theo" met my expectations and I will call him again for my next event! Keep playing music Theo!

These guys are great. Obviously talented, they are versatile as well. For my holiday party, they did a combination of Christmas Carols, popular hits, and even some Bocelli. My guests are still raving about the evening. I can't wait to plan my next party so I can hire them again. Thanks, Knick Knacks...

The Cheap Knick Knacks played at a Christmas party at our home. The attendees varied in age from 22 to 60, and all were entertained by the wide range of music and the wonderful personalities of Jackson and Theo. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Theo showed up on time and ready to play. I was very happy that he was available to play for a couple of hours. I have recently got married so this was the first holiday that both families celebrated together. Theo selected some great music to play and took some requests also. Everyone that attended couldn't stop talking about Theo and his piano playing. Pat

When I hired these guys I never realized the scope of what they could provide for my wedding and reception. Not only did they provide the instrumental and vocal selections I needed for my wedding service but they did it with a world class flair that I thought was only reserved for royalty and the rich. It was after the service though that I was most impressed with. Jackson and Theo were the MC hosts of my dinner and kept the tributes moving, and were very funny and entertaining. Then they invited two other musicians to join them and played swing and dance music late into the night to make my dream wedding day complete. I did not find anything they could not do and would give them five stars and maybe six if I could. The Cheap Knick Knacks may sound like a funny name but they are serious about music and entertainment thats for sure.

They came to perform at our Church in Santa Ana and he performed a rendition of "Con Te Partiro" and there was not a dry eye in the congregation. We will definitely have them back.

Jackson is such a terrific performer, the way he really engaged the audience, and then the voice! Wow! Not to mention when he picked up a guitar, and then played drums, all while singing! Unbelievable performer! Five Stars!
