"Fay played a set for my mate's 22nd birthday at his uni house and it was sick. She played for about an hour along to some tunes that my mate had chosen, following the melody and soloing/improvising too. She also brought all her own kit like speakers etc which was ideal. Would hundred percent recommend, adds an extra bit of entertainment to a party and gets everyone dancing."

"I booked Fay to perform for a joint garden party last weekend and she was the highlight of the night. She was very accommodating to our music taste and her communication throughout the booking process was impeccable, and she was a great sport despite the rain. I would certainly book her time and time again, thank you Fay!"

Gabrielle James, 19 October 2019

"Fay recently performed at our garden party and it was unbelievable - without a doubt one of the best nights of my life. The saxophone has always been my favourite instrument and Fay is incredibly talented, everything was super easy to organise and she brought everything along with her! So thankful and would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of having a live saxophonist :)"

Katharine Finkill, Yorkshire Cancer Research, 9 March 2019

"We can't say a big enough thank you to Fay for playing a set at our wedding. We were lucky enough to win this at a wedding fayre but I think until the day, we didn't realise just how lucky we were. Fay is amazing musician with such a range of music to suit everyone. We weren't sure exactly what we wanted but by answering a few simple questions Fay was able to guide us and the music selection on the day was just perfect. A massive thank you for such an amazing prize and opportunity Fay, but most of all, thank you for playing such a big part in our day xx"

Jemma Gibb, 9 March 2019

​"Fay was great to deal with from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble. She looked & sounded great on the day. Many of our guests commented on how good she was. We would highly recommend Fay to anyone looking to book a saxophonist for their wedding reception drinks. Thanks again Fay."

Stuart and Liz Ruddick, 28 December 2018

"I won the opportunity to have Fay playing the Flute at our wedding and it ended up being the most magical touch to our special day. All of the guests commented how lovely it was listening to her music as they arrived and some later told me they were moved to happy tears. Hearing Fay play Christina Perri, A Thousand Years as I walked down the aisle added an extra special element to a memory I will treasure forever, far more than a CD could ever have done. Fay was a pleasure to work within the lead up to the Wedding and she even learnt our favourite Runrig song to play on the day. Fay looked so beautiful and really did deliver the perfect package. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you Fay! xx"

Claire Gordon, 29 October 2018

"Fay played a series of dance classics for the opening of The Prosecco Quarter. It added a classy touch to the night as well as getting people in the mood to party. Fays enthusiasm and talent can’t be rivalled. I would happily recommend her to play at any venue, event or party, we and our customers can’t wait to her have her back at The Prosecco Quarter. Good luck Fay, the sky’s the limit."

Damon Smee, The Prosecco Quarter, 8 December 2018

​"Fay is a brilliant musician and I would highly recommend her for any event. The feedback was great and will absolutely book Fay again."

Jackie Crozier, Little Bird Made, 21 October 2018

"I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Fay for a recording session. Fay is a very talented multi-instrumentalist, working very professionally and consistently. We had a recording session over 2 locations and managed to record a lot more than we needed, due to Fay being able to play  accurately, requiring little or no revisions on her songs to get them recorded. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a Saxophone/Flute player. Really easy to get along with and is very focused on what she does."

Graeme Lynch, TwoZeroNine Productions, 13 October 2018

"Amazingly talented woman who made our wedding day extra special with a fantastic performance! We cant thank you enough for how closely you worked with us learning songs for our special day & taking the time to come to rehearsal! So many guests commented on how amazing it made the time at the church! Thank you Fay!"

Laura and Rory Jackson, 29 September 2018

"An absolute star! So I went from not being able to get a squeak out of the flute to playing a tune after lesson one and progressing well. Highly recommended - an accomplished musician who makes learning fun and inspires confidence."

Mary Blake, 25 September 2018

"​My son has started learning the saxophone with Fay and thoroughly enjoys his lessons. Fay is very enthusiastic and makes the lessons fun and engaging. My son is making good progress and looks forward to his lesson each week."

Claire Keens, 25 September 2018

"We were so very honoured to welcome the lovely, and very talented, Fay Donaldson to the library this evening as part of our #SummerReadingChallenge celebrations. Thank you Fay!"

Jane Hall, 25 September 2018

"Fay was recommended to me by a friend who heard her playing at Private function! We met and discussed what music I wanted to play at my party! That was such fun talking about music for over an hour!!! On the night of my party she played two sets to a very eclectic age group. She had everyone up and dancing and had really done her homework. My favourite pieces where high on a hill from the sound of music and a whole lot of Rosie by AC/DC. Fay is definitely worth the money and I would not hesitate to recommend her."

Rosie Bell, 15 September 2018

"Fay joined us on our Wedding Day welcoming our guests with soulful sounds from the Flute. During the ceremony she played Ave Maria and even learned to play a tune new to her but is a tradition in our family. Afterwards she changed instruments and entertained guests at the reception with Sax. Our guests loved her. At the evening party she again played Sax and it was amazing. Fay is a lovely girl. Very accommodating and played a good cross section of tunes which appealed to everyone. She is very talented and we would have no hesitation in recommending or booking again. She definitely contributed to the success of our wonderful wedding. Thank you Fay and good luck you will go far."

​Lynn and Michael Proud, 11 August 2018

"Fay gave the most beautiful recital on the Flute at our WI group meeting. Thank you Fay for entertaining us so well."

Chairman of Danby Wiske Women's Institute, 24 May 2018

"I saw Fay's Final Flute Recital at Leeds College of Music and I was so impressed with the level of professionalism. Fay had planned everything from the stage setting to the presentation, and of course the music itself! I thoroughly enjoyed it!"

Adele Carmichael, 14 May 2018

"Thank you Fay for the beautiful music you played for my 50th birthday party. Very much enjoyed by all of my friends and family! Thank you for helping me choose the perfect music for a Summer's evening!
