Nick is my first guitar teacher and is absolutely fantastic. I’ve learnt more in the past few weeks than I did in the previous 6 months trying to self teach. He’s always available throughout the week if I have any questions and is always extremely helpful and patient. His lessons are fun and structured in a way that has accelerated my ability faster than I could anticipated! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a teacher!! More...

Nick brings a perfect blend of encouragement and challenge to his lessons. When you combine this with his genuine warmth and humour the lessons will fly and learning is inevitable!

Nicks lessons are so much fun. I started as a novice and now I can play all sorts of genres on my ukulele.....I'm totally hooked. Nick is always encouraging me to learn more and takes time to teach my requests too. He has a great manner and enthusiasm for teaching. So get yourself booked in and you could be a guitar/ukulele/mandolin/banjo/string hero too!!! More...

Every time I come in here, I go with full satisfaction - with food (taste, quality and portion), with the way you were received/served food and ofcourse it’s budget friendly. Thank you KIA for guiding us through the new options we wanted to try and a lovely service we received from you today. More...

Placed an online pickup order and it was on hold when I arrived. The food was not made so I had to wait during my break. Spoke with the manager Dawn, who offered NO assistance, saying it'd be out in 5 minutes after I had already waited 10. Will not be returning or doing a pick up order in the future after this experience. More...

Service was very good and especially on Mother’s Day when it was so busy. Tory was my server and he was so on top of things. My food came hot and not sitting around in the kitchen. Very prompt and checked in on us very often. The chicken and shrimp carbonara was very good. Calamari was small and not the best. My son loves the gnocchi soup. More...

Enjoyed a dinner with a large family group celebrating a birthday. Tory our server was great - prompt, efficient, friendly and navigated well around our mixed group of kids to seniors. Food was typical Olive Garden fare and the place was clean. Good central location for family members to be able to come together and enjoy a pleasant dinner and each other. More...

I’ve been at Olive Garden a few times and was always really well attended. The best part for me is that you can get a delicious garlic bread with salad/soup freely (if you order at least two meals). One of the best dishes is definitely Chicken Alfredo. Love this place! More...

Took an hour and 15 minutes for my food to come out so I had to pay and take the food to go. Very disappointing. Do not recommend at all. The servers were nice though but they can’t do much when the kitchen is not doing their job. Edit: wow just looked at the receipt and I got charged for the drinks of the people that were sitting next to us More...

Best place ever! Their service is better and the new management team is a breath of fresh air. I've lived in Dunwoody for more than 20 years and had almost given up on this restaurant, but I'm glad I Didn't! Johnathon was the best server. Will definitely be back More...

Did Powerboat L2 course and thought they were excellent. Very competent and also had the personal touch. Also a very good location to do this course because of the challenges presented by boating in busy Southampton water and getting to learn all the things you have to do in this environment.

Mrs J Fitton
I can't recommend Nick highly enough.
If you want to play guitar to a fantastic standard regardless of age or ability he is the man for the job.
Nick has a wealth of knowledge and experience that is second to none whatever the genre of music.
He has taught my son electric guitar for approximately five years now and George still looks forward to his lesson every week and is working onwards and upwards towards his grade eight.
Nick manages to teach to an an amazing standard whilst keeping students motivated.
A rare feat indeed!

Nick is a fantastic teacher. I make progress every lesson. I am learning electric guitar and have just completed my grade 3 rock exam with Nick.
I am 52 and started playing 18 months ago. I have been with Nick for about 6 months. My rate of improvement has at least doubled since I have been with Nick. My soloing has greatly improved, as has my guitar skill and understanding of music. Nick is very flexible with times. I have a 1 hour lesson every 2 weeks or so due to work commitments. Can’t wait for my next lesson! 😁 John Davies, Whalley.

I completed the level 2 powerboat 2 day course. The tuition and boat were both first class and I came away with the knowledge and insight needed to be safe and controlled on the water - for anyone who wants to use a powerboat this course is essential.

I cannot thank you enough for my amazing 2 days on the water Andy! I had the best time. I did a power boat course before and found it difficult with the learning stuff but you made it so all so easy and fun! We had such a great day and will remember it for a life time. Thanks again.. and we will be back! More...

This is really a first class outfit. Great location, great boats in good condition. I have to mention our instructor Alex. He was very clear and calm in his instruction. Coming alongside can be stressful for the inexperienced helm, it isn't enough to know the theory, you have to have the right attitude - especially if things don't go as planned. Alex's calm manner helped build confidence and capability in his students. More...

So pleased we chose Bella Vista!
They've been fantastic from beginning to end. From the friendly, informative and comprehensive design stage to a perfectly finished end product.
Mike took care of everything from the planning permissions to organising everybody. The builders were friendly, considerate and efficient. Along the way all our questions and queries were addressed & answered and Mike was always easy to get hold of.
Our finished extension has given us the extra space we required and we couldn't be happier with the finished product.
Thanks guys!
Have recommended to all our family, friends and neighbours!

My passion for music and helping people who enjoy music make music!
Why should our clients choose you?
Nick has 30+ years experience in the Music Teaching Industry and is very highly regarded and respected.
All the students that have studied/played with him have enjoyed doing so and have reached the goals they set out to reach. Nick will structure all lessons around how you learn and will tailor any lessons to support you where needed.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes - All teaching and examinations are able to be conducted virtually - At a time of yur convenience.
Nick has been teaching and examining virtually for Clitheroe Guitar Studio and The London College of Music / RGT throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. He is set up for this and has had great success with all his students. This shows you do not need to have a local teacher as being virtual will give you the same results in the comfort of your own home.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have several online students who have started music lessons with me since the UK went into lockdown, and these students are progressing extremely well. I also do online examinations for The London College of Music at the moment as all face-to-face examinations are now being held virtually till further notice. It is encouraging how many students have been able to achieve their goals with virtual lessons and examinations!
