"Jon played a set for my birthday party on Saturday and he was absolutely brilliant. He performed some songs that I particularly wanted, and did them really well. He also had all the gear, lights etc.. and organised the technology for a dance performance that also took place. He is an experienced performer and that showed in his ability in getting everyone up dancing and singing along. I would definitely recommend him"

"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!"

"Me and my staff hosted the Moon and Silver Duo for our Christmas Party this year and I have to admit that it was great, they created the perfect atmosphere that we were looking for, they played a beautiful songs list with jazz and Christmas songs that our guests really enjoyed. Great vibe and great sound! "

"E and O were the true stars of our party, keeping everyone on the dance floor and providing top-notch professional entertainment. What a great evening. Oliviya looked and sounded stunning. Ed was superb on the guitar. At one point they were both performing on the dance floor amongst the guests. They truly made us all feel special, even getting guests to join in on the mic. Many of our friends and family commented how great they were and all thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Between their sets they played a great selection of music that kept everyone going on the dance floor. Communication before the party was great and we were reassured they had it all in hand. True professionals that know how to work the crowd and rock the party. Thank you so much for making our evening so special."

"Recently I heard Jack play acoustic guitar on Carnival’s Legend ship. A musician myself, I thoroughly enjoyed his genuineness and natural talent! What a delightful young man. We chatted a few times throughout the week and he was so kind to play some James Taylor favorites for me. Made me so happy! I am sure we will be hearing that name again. Jack, thank you again for sharing your talents and taking the time to connect with me and many others on the ship. You go above and beyond and I know you will do well!"

"Lorenzo is the most amazing acoustic guitarist! From start to finish he was incredibly friendly and helpful. He let us choose 3 songs for him to play on top of his fabulous set list. From booking to playing, Lorenzo kept in contact and checked every little detail with us to provide the best experience possible. His voice and guitar playing are truly wonderful. Would 100% recommend Lorenzo, we, and our guests, loved his music! "

"Vale Acoustic were the perfect addition to our wedding! Matt and Steve brought such a positive calm presence and were so easy and accommodating to deal with. They even learnt some of our favourite songs to play! They’re very talented musicians, we had so many guests compliment them, and they created such a relaxed and fun ambience for our special day. Thanks so much again guys! Couldn’t recommend them highly enough."

"5 stars across the board, we had a cookout for my sister and her fiancé and he played such a variety and put up with our silliness! He was early, respectful, professional, and knew how to work the crowd playing different songs. Thank you again!"

"I don't know where to start, we were so delighted with the performance. Jane is a musician and singer who wears her heart on her sleeve. Always listening to us, she was able to advise and guide us during the preparation of our wedding. We were lucky enough to choose Jane for our religious ceremony which she made so beautiful in the church. She was able to adapt to last minute changes due to the weather for the cocktail but we had an unforgettable time. Jane sings wonderfully and all the guests were won over. A huge thank you to Jane for everything and we would definitely recommend her."
