We visited the Abaco bar in Bluewater and heard Steve playing and were very impressed with his talent and thoroughly enjoyed listening to his music.  As we were planning our wedding, we asked for his contact details.

Our original plan was for Steve to provide some background music as guests arrived at the wedding reception.  Steve took great care to check with us the type of music we wanted and the atmosphere we wanted to create.
Later we decided to include ‘musical statues’ by two artistes called ‘Adagio’ and asked Steve if he could provide a musical accompaniment.  Again, Steve was very amenable to this change and went to some lengths to understand the performance and plan the music to match it.  We sent him a short video clip and he liaised directly with the artistes before the event to ensure the overall impact of the music and dance was carefully choreographed.

Musical Statues

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed Steve’s choice of music and his talent. The background music Steve played created the warm, relaxed, informal yet elegant atmosphere we wanted as the guests arrived.

When the performance started, nobody would have guessed that Steve had only met the artistes an hour before the performance.  His lyrical improvisation was perfectly structured and timed to match the performance of the dance, the result of the combined impact of Steve’s music and the musical statues was simply “stunning”.

Musical Statues

In addition to his ability to play the guitar to an excellent standard we were very impressed by the care and attention he took in understanding our requirements and planning his performance to ensure that it met and indeed  exceeded our expectations and made our whole event very special.

We recommend Steve and would have no hesitation in asking him to play again at our next wedding!!!

Regards
 
Ingrid & Kevin Courtney

This is to confirm that Steve has been teaching my son Sean Gray, age 13, for the past four years. Steve has an abundance of patience and is a calming influence on my son. He instills in Sean a tremendous sense of self-worth and confidence, succeeding where class teachers have failed. Sean enjoys Steve's lessons and looks forward to them weekly. Steve has an ability to harness Sean's personality and talent and transforms these assets into a successful musical lesson. I feel very privileged to have Steve as a guitar teacher for my son, and if you have heard Steve perform you will understand my appreciation. Steve's musical prowess and ability with children and adults would be a huge asset to anyone who is interested in learning how to play the guitar and the benefit of his expertise would yield huge rewards.

I have been a student of Steve's for over three years. During this time he has shown to be very patient and understanding. I have always found Steve to be friendly, reliable and very approachable. His broad knowledge of music has assisted me greatly in my progress of learning to play the guitar. Steve is also very flexible regarding the hours of tuition. As my son is taking a GCSE course in music, he is now having tuition with Steve who has greatly boosted his confidence. Due to Steve's wide range of musical ability, my son has found the lessons to be very enjoyable and constructive. In my opinion Steve would be a great asset to any individual or group that he teaches.

At 45 I bought myself a guitar and was struggling with the beginner’s books not really sure if I was playing correctly or picking up bad habits. When I had my first lesson with Steve I realised you have to build on a good foundation and get the basics right before you can be Jimi Hendrix. Steve has the ability to fine tune the lessons to the individual and get the best out of them. I continue to enjoy having my fortnightly guitar lessons and would not hesitate to recommend Steve Mac as a guitar tutor.
Steven Turner
I have been taking guitar lessons from Steve for nearly a year. Steve is patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and a damn fine guitarist. Steve puts a great deal of effort into my guitar tuition and with his help I have improved greatly as a guitarist. I contacted Steve on a friend’s recommendation and I'm glad I did, I look forward to every lesson.
