Please remember – there are a lot of online websites selling musical arrangements. It’s a fact that anyone of any ability can write what they claim to be good charts with computer programs such as Finale TM and Sibelius TM. However, though they may look good most of the time they really are not. As a musical director myself working on cruise ships, I have to say that band calls are always much longer than they need to be due to incorrect or badly amended charts. Below you can read what several top musicians/artistes think of my own band charts. Also, unlike most, the charts in my catalogue are 100% legal & licensed! 

“Having known Andy a long time and played his band charts on multi occasions I can say that his musicianship, perfectionism and knowledge make for arrangements that are clearly far superior to anything else you might happen to find anywhere online”. Dave Bintley (piano/Musical Director UK)
([email protected])

“Go-Charts provides excellent charts for all styles of music performance, they are outstanding. The attention to detail on the charts is wonderful.  Andy is a consummate professional and incredibly efficient. Andy’s consistency in producing excellent charts is a credit to his professionalism and importantly, his care factor as a musician in ensuring things are right from the very first note played. I have played many of his charts as a Musical Director and love them!” Joseph Macri (keys/M.D. Sydney, Australia)

 

“Not being the most organised of people, I am someone who usually decides she needs a new song in her show yesterday and Andy Davidson is great at producing exactly what you want and getting it to you, in super fast time. He knows first hand what is expected by a cruise orchestra chart-wise which makes my role of guest entertainer so much easier”. Maxine Mazumder (UK & International Dusty Springfield & Lulu tribute artiste).

Andy Davidson is a consummate professional who has many years of experience performing with some of the best entertainers in the industry. As such he is uniquely qualified as an arranger and Musical Director. Your money will be well spent purchasing arrangements from go-charts! I am impressed with just how large a sound he is able to attain with the voicing of a small horn section. Big Band quality out of a 4 horn frontline! Do not settle for less than the best – go-charts is the way to go!” Larry Meregillano (US) (Pro Trumpet Player & Author)

“Proper parts, arranged by someone who knows what they are doing which in turn makes them good to play”. Alex Moore (UK sight-reading bass player)

“A great service from a brilliant musician. Andy takes on ideas and transforms them into some of the best arrangements that I have in my shows!” Michael Grant, UK & International Multi-instrumentalist. http://www.piha-international-entertainment.com/featured-musicians/headliner- cabaret/michael-grant

“One of the challenges as a sidesman and particularly on ships is you never know what kind of charts/arrangements you’ll be playing. Unfortunately most of them are poorly written. So, whenever you get an “Andy Davidson” chart you breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that it will play down the first time and sound fantastic!” Alex Bates (US) Professional Cruise Ship Trombonist

“Hey Andy, thanks so much for the charts! I know there are a few more to go but I just wanted to say they went down a storm!” Claire Kirkham (UK) (Vocalist, The Memphis Belles)

“Having relied on Andy for many arrangements used in a range of performances over the past few years, he has never failed to deliver well-arranged charts swiftly. He communicates throughout the entire process to ensure full satisfaction and I cannot express my gratitude enough for being consistently reliable and producing high-quality charts.” Thomas McFarlane (UK) (Featuring singer at Royal Caribbean International)

“Andy’s charts are excellent-he is very skilful in his abilities to accurately transcribe and/or tastefully orchestrate. His passion for what he does combined with his attention to detail make for a clear, concise, fun-to- play product”. Tom Dostal (US) (Pro Drummer)

“Thank you again for doing a great job especially with such short notice, the guys said the charts were spot on xx” Sue Howell ([email protected])

Go-Charts.com has been a blessing for my show! The speed of the work and accessibility of the website have helped me develop a wonderful repertoire. With easy to read charts for my musicians, I know I can count on go-charts.com to provide me with music that will sound good no matter what! Thank you again for helping me build my show. I couldn’t have done it with out you!” – Clarissa Spiller, Vocalist, Los Angeles, US. https://twitter.com/clarissaspiller.

“Excellent charts!! Very clear and easy to follow.
As a professional drummer I get new music to play on a daily basis, and it’s hard to find charts as well written as yours. Whenever artists show up with your arrangements I feel that I can play my best”. Natalio Staiti (Argentina) Pro Cruise Ship Orchestra Drummer

“Thank you so much Andy for this amazing arrangement  (and for getting it to me so fast ).  It is better than I had even imagined it would be and I just LOVE singing it. Makes me want to have all my old ones re-written by you Two of the other guest entertainers came up to me after the show and asked me about it and Im sure they will be checking you out very soon. Looking forward to the next one. Keep up the great work!” Nikki Bennett (Aus) (InternationalVocalist)

“A1 dots, excellent for a reading guitarist, clearly written with much pride and knowledge of how a guitar functions. Accurate and easy to read, with just the right amount of information given”. Ian Blackburn (UK) (Pro Guitarist)

“Andy’s charts are great! They are well laid out, clear to read and always a challenge to play!!!” Scott Englebright (US) (Pro Trumpet Player)

“I would like to say how fab my new charts (from go-charts.com) were. The Sixties Medley went so well I’m so thrilled with it. I loved performing Stuff (Like That There) and the band really enjoyed it too. I have to tell you the MD and the whole band were so full of praise for your arrangements and as he (the MD) said ‘when a band compliments an arrangement you know it’s really good. Finally I want to say how wonderful it is to have an arranger I have such confidence in. Thanks again Andy!” Giselle Summers, International Cabaret artiste. http://excellententertainment.biz/portfolio_page/giselle-summers/

“I’ve had the pleasure to perform many of Andy’s arrangements over the years and have only recently had the pleasure to have him as my band leader.  I’m always impressed how he is able to voice a small group horn section (3-4 horns) so that it sounds like a full big band horn section. His big band catalog is one of the best I’ve played through”. Brad Churchwell (US) Pro cruise ship Trombonist

“I’ve been really impressed with the standard of service from Andy! He’s quick to respond to requests….great when you’re in the need of some new tunes in a hurry! The charts are fantastic.  Clean, easy to read & Andy was really accommodating when it came to modifications…I had a few! He has a brilliant knowledge of what’s required for ship orchestras too.  Go-charts are most definitely now my Go-to-charts! Thanks! Xxx”  Nicola Jane (UK) Vocalist, Guest Entertainer

“I dig your charts man, they’re clean and not overwritten and well orchestrated for 3 horns. I’m passing your name on to more GENTs out on Princess. All the best” Dave Blazer (US) Trumpet MD Princess Cruises

“Andy’s charts are brilliant! You won’t find anything cheaper, but the high quality makes them worth so much more. Each band I’ve worked with has commented on how easy they are to follow, they’re not overcomplicated, and are perfectly written for sight-reading. I’ve purchased a number of charts from his huge catalogue and also had Andy arrange some specific songs for me in very quick time. He works personally with you based on your needs and adapts accordingly, and is great with communication. Highly recommended!” Mark Kenny (Aus) Cruise Ship Vocalist

“I am so thankful for Andy and his incredible charts! I am a singer in Las Vegas and guest entertainer on cruise ships, and his charts are clear, high quality and perfectly arranged! I use all of his charts for my shows! Even when I need charts done in a short amount of time, he makes it happen quick and easy! Thank you Andy! You rock!!” Laura Wright International Vocalist Las Vegas USA

“I use go-Charts for most of my shows and they are great charts. The arrangements are great and true to form.  But what’s great is that Andy will go the extra mile to make sure any requests that are something different, are truly one of a kind. What’s more is that he will edit a chart or email you the chart again as a quick replacement if you forget one (which I’m always doing) with no questions asked. Easy plain sailing, a joy to work with”. David Julien Vocalist/finalist The Voice UK 
 

“Go-charts – your arrangements were wonderful and the band loved it. Thank you so so much!!! Amy Jo Slater” – US Vocalist + Adele Tribute RCCL Cruises

“I perform and produce lots of shows in Hawaii. Go-Charts is always my ‘go-to’ place when I need to put on great performances with quality, easy-to-read, easily accessible charts! Andy is always responsive and accommodating! Mahalo friend, pleasure doing business with you!”
Ginai, Hawaiian Entertainer/Producer/Songwriter www.ginai.com
 

“I have thirty (30) recent go-charts arrangements that all work great, and they receive rave reviews from the musicians themselves.  Our eight (8) piece band can’t always rehearse the shows ahead of time, “Go-Charts” are perfect for us (100% reliable and accurate) yet still VERY EASY-to-read and follow. Our crusty negative drummer finished reading the first chart and the moment the song ended he (this is Mr Know-It All, Mr I’ve-played-with-everyone-including-Aretha- Franklin) he said out loud “now that’s a GREAT chart”  Andy’s personalized customer service is outstanding. I recommend Go-Charts . . . excellent!” David Patt (piano/keys Toronto, Canada)[email protected]

“Andy and his business Go Charts are second to none. When dealing with Andy, he’s been nothing but professional and so helpful. His charts & standard of work always get many compliments from talented musicians from all around the world. I can’t thank you enough Andy for being such a pleasure to deal with”. Chantelle Delaney (International Cruise Ship Vocalist, Australia) 
 
“Andy’s charts sound excellent and the musicians tell  me they’re clear and easy to read. His service is fantastic and he’s managed to do some brilliant arrangements for me sometimes at very short notice and saved the day on a number of occasions. It’s really reassuring to have the MP3 files to rehearse to as well, especially when using a chart for the first time”. James Benn (Vocalist, Fred Olsen Cruises)
 
“Go-charts are my absolute go-to. Superior quality charts that as a Pro Entertainter I provide for the band with absolute confidence, no complaints, only compliments! Andy is incredible to deal with, great communication and turn-around. Couldn’t recommend him any more highly. Susanna Mirana (Professional Vocalist/Entertainer/Songwriter – Australia)
 
“Andy has been fantastic to deal with and helped me get everything I needed in plenty of time. The musicians I’ve played with have all commented on how professional and clear the charts are, and the arrangements themselves have been superb. I’ll never use anyone else now. Gaz Jenkins (Piano/Vocal Entertainer, Billy Joel Tribute act – UK)
 
“I have been using Andy as my arranger for all of my shows for the past 5 years. I’ve recommended him to other peers in the industry and will continue to do so time and time again. He’s extremely professional, super responsive, and his products speak for themselves! Every time I put one of his arrangements in front of a band, I get compliments. His catalogue is a great resource, and is helpful when you need something quickly. If you’re looking for quality arrangements in a timely fashion, look no further!” Crystal Cimaglia (International Vocal Entertainer – USA)
 
“I found Andy’s website online, and what a lucky day THAT was.  He is responsive, professional, accommodating, and his charts are FANTASTIC!!!  I have bought several charts over a few months time, and continue to, for my live show and my online variety show. My players find them easy to read and on point with my reference recordings. Thanks Andy.” Jason Ostrowski (Guest Entertainer and Host of “Jason O’s Variatine Show” Miami – USA)
 
Andy has created such amazing charts for my guest ent show!! The orchestra found his charts in particular extremely clear and perfect for sight reading – great when you only have an hour to prepare for a show! They were so well written that I asked Andy to make all of the charts for my new show this year which he has done a fantastic job on! Andy is extremely professional, efficient and incredible value for the quality and accuracy!! Plus he is so helpful especially with any modifications needed!! Would highly highly recommend!! Keli-Ann Corcoran, International Vocalist – Ireland
 
“From Queen to KISS, Andy’s charts absolutely rock! There’s no one else I trust when it comes to making sure my band have the best experience playing for me, and they always go down a treat with the crowd. Can’t recommend Go Charts enough!” Matt Harvey UK/ International Cruise Ship Guitar/Vocal Entertainer
