Provides own chair

Jake was amazing from booking to performance. He said it would be a beautiful day and he was not wrong. On booking he informed us he could provide his own seating but required shelter if it was wet. Lucky for us we did not need a shelter. We made a personalised musical request, cello and violin. Wish I got it recorded. Thank you Jake.

Mothers Day park performance

Jake you made Mother’s Day so special for my mother

My mom had the following words about the performance

My concert in the park was extraordinary, you couldn't believe how heavenly it was to listen to Bach with the trees, the breeze, the sun, the birds and a few friends sharing this joy. It will always be a special memory and it was not lost on any of us. All agreed it was a very special way to spend this Sunday afternoon after a "lockdown of culture " that has lasted so long.

Jake was charming and joyful, he played with a great heart.

We highly recommend Jake. He is talented. He was flexible and accommodating with short notice. He inquired about dress preference and we chose outdoor comfortable over formal. Best of all he gave a wonderful performance that brought joy to my mother and her friend on her special day
