"CJ is more than an entertainer, he can play and perform any plethora of music you desire. My favorite is classic rock ‘n’ roll. He is also an honest Christian man. Don’t hesitate to reach out to him for any event. God bless. Bruce"

"He’s got an absolutely amazing voice. All the guests really enjoyed listening to him. Everyone thought he was simply brilliant. Even the venue, which hosts two weddings every weekend, wanted his contact details. We’d book him again in a heartbeat for any event."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolute Empfehlung – Jacopo begeistert auf ganzer Linie! Jacopo ist ein außergewöhnlich talentierter Musiker mit einer großartigen Stimme und einem beeindruckenden Gitarrenspiel. Seine akustischen Interpretationen bekannter Klassiker aus den 60er-, 70er-, 80er- und 90er-Jahren sind nicht nur wunderschön, sondern haben auch eine ganz persönliche, kreative Note. Besonders beeindruckend ist, wie er mit Harmonien und dezenten Drum-Loops eine volle, mitreißende Atmosphäre schafft – man vergisst völlig, dass nur ein Musiker auf der Bühne steht. Das Publikum kann mitsingen, wird emotional abgeholt und gleichzeitig immer wieder positiv überrascht. Professionell, zuverlässig, sympathisch und musikalisch auf höchstem Niveau. Jacopo versteht es perfekt, sich dem Anlass anzupassen und eine einzigartige Stimmung zu schaffen. Wir würden ihn jederzeit wieder buchen und können ihn ohne Einschränkung weiterempfehlen. Danke für diesen unvergesslichen musikalischen Moment! Leanza Al Dente "

"Eugene was amazing. We had a birthday party for a 3 year old, but also had a lot of adults in attendance. Everyone had a great time, danced, and sang along. The energy was amazing - will definitely hire him again!"

"Before seeing this show I had heard many rumours about Harmonica Lewinsky, whose background was shrouded in mystery, although I believe he learned his harmonica skills in the Deep South in the deltas of Harrow on the Hill under the tutelage of Blind Les Battersby. But, it was a very different character to the one I expected who performed at the posh Victoria pub in Highgate! Mr Lewinsky, looking like a cross between a rabbi and one-half of Chas 'n Dave (I'm not sure which half) appeared in cloth cap and braces and presented a highly original selection of songs, some of which rarely see the light of day. There were no predictable “Brown Eyed Girls” or “Mustang Sally’s” here: instead - a veritable feast of the unexpected - as we witnessed one man, his guitar and his trusty harps. When was the last time you heard a pub act kick off his set with Chas 'n Dave's “The Sideboard Song” and follow it with the Theme to “Top Cat” and then offerings of cheery, chirpy Cockney ditties including “Waiting At The Church,” “Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner”, “Show Me The Way To Go Home” and Tommy Steele's “What A Mouth”? I’m guessing the answer to that question is ‘rarely’ (if ever) but the fun didn't stop there. Mr Harmonica Man is a really great entertainer and demonstrated, with great finesse, his harmonica technique on - wait for it - the Shadows' “Apache”! It was quite a feat playing the melody on the harp while strumming his guitar. ‘Harmy’, as he is known to his close friends (or 'Self-Harmy‘ to others) also tackled in the first half the theme to "The Flintstones"; Elvis Costello's catchy “Watching The Detectives” and the Cockney knees-up “I've Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts”. Harmy was back in terrific Pearly King form for the second half starting with “Any Old Iron” followed by a touch of the Formbys with “Leaning On A Lamppost” after which he did a ‘Donegan’ with a riotous version of “My Old Man's A Dustman” complete with enthusiastic audience participation. Mr Lewinsky has a great sense of humour, which he constantly shares with the Victoria regulars. "Here's another Cockney classic sung by a Welsh man", quipped Harmy before diving into “Delilah.” Other gems included the theme tune to ‘Match Of The Day’ (played on two harmonicas); a very funny and risque interpretation of Mike Jerome's “Sling Yer Hook”; a great version of the Small Faces' mod anthem “Lazy Sunday”; and a yahoo rendition of the old country favourite “Riders In The Sky”. After many encores Mr Lewinsky packed away his cap and braces and headed off to the Deep South (of London) for some pie and mash. The Victoria would do well to snap up Harmy for some more gigs before he hop-foots it down the Strand for a residency at the Old Bull and Bush!"

"WOW! Its very difficult to describe a musician in words, but what i can say is that David was far better than i ever expected. EVERYONE single one of our guests commented on how well David sung. We didn't choose any songs for David to play, i just told him to go with the flow. I had organised for David to play for 4 hours, we actually asked him to stay for longer as the atmosphere was perfect. Unfortunately David couldn't stay longer has he was already booked for the rest of the evening. I am now desperately trying to think of another party i can host JUST so that he can play to all of us again! I cannot recommend David enough. Many thanks for the AMAZING afternoon you helped create.

"Matt has been playing The Frog pub, Val Thorens, France for over 10 years and is a household name in resort, to both locals and returning tourists. He expertly adapts his music to different crowds making him a super versatile musician and a rare find. His performance has grown over the years and is ever evolving, introducing different instruments and new technology each year, bringing an edge to his performance that very few other musicians can bring"

"John Henry is the real deal. Out of all the wedding vendors for my day he was the best and most professional person I had the privilege of working with. He checked in a week before to ensure he had the right details, played exactly as agreed and everyone was blown away by how talented he was. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone around the area! "

"Chris Made The Party! My family and I had a special backyard birthday dinner and hired Chris to be our musical entertainment. As soon as we walked into the backyard we were transported somewhere in the Caribbean by his cool island vibes and sounds. He arrived early to set up and was totally professional the entire time. Chris and his music made the party! We all agreed it would not have been as fun without him there. He played a wide variety of music and was perfect. I can't wait to have another party to hire Chris for!! "
