"There is something special about the way Jahangir plays the guitar. His music provided the perfect backdrop for a soothing evening, yet was simultaneously uplifting, harmoniously creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere that captives the audience's attention. I personally look forward to his performances every time I contact him. I wish him the best!"

"I would like to say a huge thank you to Matthew for Sunday, it was so perfect having him sing mine and my husbands song as I walked up the aisle. It was a surprise for my other half and he was blown away. Everyone said how beautiful it was and what an amazing voice Matthew has. It was perfect."

"We booked Rick for our Christmas house party and it was the best night we could have hoped for!! All my friends wanted to know Rick’s details and the performance and energy on the night was amazing; Rick threw his all into the evening and the night was a huge success because of him! If we plan anything else I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Rick. I wouldn’t choose anyone else now we’ve had him, not only is he really talented with some amazing bose equipment to make the live sets extremely superior quality but he’s a lovely, lovely guy. Thanks again for making it amazing!"

"The Best Live Musician Our experience with Andrew was like no other! We heard Andrew perform at a local bar & we knew right then and there we needed him for our special day. He provided an amazing pre ceremony performance & did acoustic guitar for our actual ceremony music. Not to mention he was very professional & easy to communicate with. You’d be crazy if you didn’t book him!! "

"Eleazar Strachan, is a man lost in time. The sight of this traveling songsmith, guitar in hand and harmonica around his neck, will make anyone look twice, thinking they have been transported back in time to a 1964 California Bob Dylan folk show. But he doesn't just look the part, he delivers on the promise, with great melodies, subtle wit and charm, and a sound that, though original is comfortably familiar and inviting. This combined with his wonderful ability to interact with an audience, results in an artist that is exceptionally entertaining and immediately accessable"

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.

"Every time we are in Nerja, we try to attend a Pablo Alcásar concert. Also this year, on 10.02.23, we were allowed to attend a concert again and, as always, we were enthusiastic about his musicality and his guitar playing💪. We wish we could hear him again here in the coming years. Our greatest wish would be a concert with Pablo and the two musicians from Café del Mundo, Jan Pascal and Alex from Germany, who have already performed here. Michael Moser (From the original in spanish) Cada vez que estamos en Nerja, intentamos asistir a un concierto de Pablo Alcásar. También este año, el 10.02.23, se nos permitió asistir a un concierto de nuevo y, como siempre, estábamos entusiasmados con su musicalidad y su habilidad para tocar la guitarra💪. Deseamos poder escucharlo de nuevo aquí en los próximos años. Nuestro mayor deseo sería un concierto con Pablo y los dos músicos de Café del Mundo, Jan Pascal y Alex de Alemania, que ya han actuado aquí. Michael Moser"
