"Joe was just fantastic in every way. From he moment I contacted him, Joe went above and beyond to learn some of my Husband's favourite songs and songs that mean something to us as a couple / family. essentialy, Joe and I came up with a play list together. My husband was bowled over that one singer could perform Bruce Springsteen and Franky Vally equally as well. He played classic Irish ballads, country classics and bang up to date accoustic tunes. We have a few singers in our friendship group and Joe was a great sport in entertaining requests on a whim. Above all, Joe is extremely talented. He's a fantastic and agile musician with an exceptional vocal ability. I would highly recommend if you want a personalised, bespoke and flawless performer. Until the next time we have an opportunity to book you Joe!"

"Matthew played an acoustic set during our wedding reception in a beautiful open courtyard at Meols Hall. His performance was perfect for the setting and the day. He really helped to set the atmosphere we were looking for during the reception. I can't speak highly enough of Matthew's ability as a singer and a guitarist. Prior to the big day, Matthew was responsive to questions, engaged in calls to discuss details of the day, and worked with us to create a set list to fit our wedding day. He was professional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Matthew to friends and family for future events."

"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!"

"Guty & Simone were a joy to work with — fast to respond, incredibly flexible, and glad to take song requests. Their live performance injected even more buzz into an already energetic crowd and kept everyone dancing until the end. My only downside is that the night went by in a flash. Thanks, G & S — keep doing what you’re doing!"

"*Review of JamezJuke – 702 Afternoons Unplugged (12 September)* It was an absolute pleasure hosting JamezJuke on our Unplugged session on 702 Afternoons with Relebogile. From the start, he was professional, responsive, and provided all the information we requested promptly. He arrived on time for both his interview and performance, which made the experience seamless and enjoyable. His acoustic performance was nothing short of soulful and beautiful a true reflection of his artistry and talent. JamezJuke is a gifted young musician with a bright future ahead, and it was wonderful to share his music with our listeners."
