"Very struck by his talent and his professionalism. He knows what he’s doing. Comes in and outs on a good show that is really very consistent. We know he enjoys what he does, He’s like the ultimate professional. Greta songwriter. We appreciate the original material. We have an audience that also appreciates his material. When he does a cover he does it his way and not trying to imitate the original artist so I really appreciate his talent."

"Matt has fantastic range of songs. He did us proud at our wedding and even learnt one he doesn't normally play as a special request. You can't go wrong with Matty B!"

"Carlo’s music is exceptional - it made our wedding so special and intimate, instantly bringing most our guests to tears. He also played during dinner which created the most romantic atmosphere. People often paused during their meal or conversation just to enjoy the music. Most importantly, Carlo was incredibly kind and approachable as a person and was so easy to communicate with while we were planning."

"Jack played at my Festival themed 40th Birthday Party, FortyFest. He was fantastic from start to finish; very competitive price, excellent, quick communication and on the night was perfect. Jack was professional, friendly and fun, played all the songs I requested, learnt new songs I asked for and played for longer than I originally asked! Jack brought the perfect festival vibe to the party and rocked FortyFest! Thank you Jack!"

"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.

"Versatile, Talented, Built a Good Following since Aug 2021 Paul Wells was recommended by a couple other Entertainers way back in 2021. I followed up and hired Paul Wells to entertain on our stage at Mesa Market Place on a regular basis. He delivers great vocals, amazing guitar playing, and lively, upbeat music. He's a Pro. Always on time. Always resourceful. Always positive. And can play most requests. I publish an entertainment schedule for our clients, and they always show up when he performs. I highly recommend you give him a listen and hire him for your event! "

"Brian R. 5.0 Rehearsal Dinner Reviewed on: 10/15/2024 Ross Mcginnes was the consummate professional. He played at my Son and Daughter in Laws welcome party in August and everyone is still talking about him. His talent and song selection was incredible. There were many challenges that night due to streets being closed down for a block party in Gloucester. Ross managed through the challenges and performed flawlessly, with a smile on his face, the whole evening. I would highly recommend Ross for any type of event. He really read the room and crowd well! My only regret was that we didn’t hire him for the cocktail hour for the wedding, the next day. Looking forward to seeing him at the Cliff House this fall!"

"Brice came to play acoustic guitar for an outdoor company event. He exceeded our expectations, and he was one of the kindest people we've ever met. We definitely recommend him, and would hire him again if we do another event in the area."

"Paolo Coruzzi played at our annual street party and clearly he is an excellent musician. He read the crowd and played appropriate music for the mood which went from mellow to upbeat. He was very polite, professional and personable and I would definitely book him again. Thanks Paolo. "
