"Sergio was amazing! He delighted our guests with his brilliant guitar playing. Beautifully Spanish classical music that gave wonderful ambiance to our wedding reception. We were so happy we found him and we would certainly hire him again. "

"Junior could play a cardboard box and sing into a paper bag and still sound great!"

"I have been using Nick for many years for book launches. By their nature, these events usually require quite a robust performance while people arrive, settle settle in and start chatting, then something more subtle as they warm up and have wine, at which point all that is needed is subtlety. He played at my daughter's wedding, both in the church and at the start of the reception. In both instances, apart from his obvious musicality, he was appreciated by all for his intelligent approach to the location and occasion. He has a sense of humour and will join in the fun, managing to slip seamlessly from pure classical to today's popular hits. Hard to beat. ("

"Tom was nothing short of excellent at our wedding! We had him booked for 3 hours and he played during our ceremony and reception. The blend of acoustic and vocals were superb and it absolutely made the whole afternoon perfect. We had so much good feedback from all our guests over how great he was!"

"Hi Alan,   Antalia and I would like to thank you for being part of our wedding day last weekend. Not only were you fantastic in your performance, you were patient and understanding in our ever changing song choices.   You took the time to learn a new song for us and made, what is one of the greatest trilogies of all time (The Lord of The Rings) part of our wedding day by playing Concerning Hobbits – a truly beautiful song to walk down the aisle to.   Looking forward to seeing more and more of your music on Instagram.  Thank you again Alan.   Best,   Antalia and Alex"

"I hired Matthew for my 50th birthday party and am so pleased that I did - he was exactly what I was looking for! I selected him on the basis of the quality that I saw on the website, and felt that he was even better in person. Being somewhat fussy, I was apprehensive about finding someone who could meet my needs, but Matthew suggested that we had a meeting before my event and we chatted through my ideas and preferences - as well as the things that I did not want! I came away feeling that he understood me and that we had connected, which was incredibly reassuring, and I was not let down on the night. Matthew is an incredibly talented singer and guitarist - recreating songs in a way that not only reflects the original, but often putting his own twist onto them in a way that keeps them fresh and interesting. His use of the loop pedal was particularly impressive! It was of note that so many of my guests commented on how good he was - they had a great time and really got into the swing of things as he gradually turned up the tempo and got everyone dancing. In doing so, he took requests, interacted with the crowd, showed a good sense of humour and came across as a fun, friendly and approachable guy. He played a wide range of songs, all of which reflected our discussion beforehand, with a great balance between those you might expect at a party and some 'surprises' that may be less common but worked equally well - if not better! I would definitely hire Matthew again, and would recommend him to pretty much anyone: he has a list of nearly 500 songs to choose from, and has a strict policy of not having a 'usual' setlist - instead preferring to engage in a discussion of what you'd like, so would be able to cater for all tastes - even mine! Thanks so much Matthew - you turned a great night into an incredible night!"

Thank you so much for your review Ian - I was genuinely touched! I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself, especially as I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to organise your own birthday party and feel responsible for everyone’s fun! I loved the atmosphere created by your guests and it was such a pleasure to see you and your friends all dancing together. I hope I can play for you again one day! - Matt

"Miguel was perfect for our Gala Dinner and played the guitar beautifully. It was very simple to book and Miguel brought all his own equipment. I highly recommend!"

"Ciaran played a beautiful outdoor wedding that I was photographing- he was booked with one other musician, and they were both superb. They helped to create a beautiful atmosphere and offered a roaming musician experience that meant they were catering to all guests in a purely acoustic performance. They were so good that I booked them for my own wedding right there on the spot!"

"Peter Duncan is a professional and highly experienced guitarist. A performance has you spellbound as gorgeous sounds arise to the deft and sinuous movement of his hands. In a set he moves from classics to current chart hits and he puts the deserved energy into rock n’ roll, ballads, blues, reggae and jazz. Peter’s base is a relaxed, easy-listening style in which you sense his own delight especially as he makes a natural playful contact with his audience. The style reflects his passionate influence from The Beatles - with their own arresting melody, lyrical poetry and versatility. Peter also gets into the upbeat and party-like which gets very pronounced when he plays in duos and bands. There’s force in his power chords when he gives a rendition of electric, even raucous numbers! Ultimately Peter is an amiable, easy going and accommodating performer who can touch sweetly or invigorate spiritedly every listener."

"Don’t hesitate to book Chris! He was at our house and performed in our garden for my husbands 50th birthday. He sang Ed Sheeran, The Killers, Coldplay, Oasis, to name a few. He could sing all the songs we requested and was definitely the highlight of our night; he created a great atmosphere and got us all dancing and singing. We will remember this party for many years to come. Thank you Chris! ps. Don’t think twice - book him now!"
