'You were fantastic! What talent! Thank you so much for making your way down here and uplifting us all with such a dazzling display.' Neil Morris, Hurstpierpoint College
'What is notable is the effect they have on the young musicians around them. They play less brashly, realising now that jazz and full volume are not indivisible, and they set their sights higher technically and musically.' Peter Buchan, W Sussex County Times
'It is not only the children that are inspired by Harry. He is good for the soul!' John Thwaites, Head of Piano, Christ's Hospital School
Harry and Simon were first invited to play at my Summer School in 2004, as part of the continued modelling by professional musicians we encourage at Borough events. The result of the 150 pupils seeing Harry and Simon that day has been hugely increased enthusiasm for School/ Borough concerts, and a profound respect of such advanced musicianship, indeed they were such an inspiration to the children they have been frequently re-invited to participate in and lead a variety of concerts and workshops over the last three years. Their reputation is now so well established in the area that schools have recently been booking the duo themselves as part of special music days and concerts. I would highly recommend Harry and Simon to any education establishment that wishes to inspire and enthuse their pupils – Harry and Simon are strong role models in their field and any pupil's musical education will be enriched by being involved with music making of such a high standard. Paul Christmas, Head of Jazz and Continuity at the Community Music Service
I would like to thank you for your hard work, time and commitment to our young people at the Hambleden Forum. The time you spent with the bands was so very much appreciated by the young people who were truly inspired by your wonderful performances. It is wonderful to see musicians of such expertise devote time to those who may aspire to follow a career in music. Jonathan Shardlow, Acting Head N Yorkshire Music Service
Your concerts are a great inspiration to our students. You have an excellent rapport with the audience and your talent leaves the children spellbound. You have become a favourite with our pupils and teachers alike so much so that our teachers went up to London and joined a long queue to attend another of your concerts. Brenda Mendelssohn, Director of Music, Rikyo Japanese School
Thank you for your splendid recital at Canford last Friday. The first half of the concert certainly opened the eyes and ears of our specialist musicians who were lapping it all up, and the second half jazz session was truly inspirational. David Warwick, Director of Music, Canford School
“Exciting”, “amazing”, “awesome”, “wow” – these were just a few of my pupils' comments after your inspirational workshop and concert the other day! Lee Hextall
