Review Centre: Singing Guitarists

"Matt opened the music for our combined birthday celebration with a great selection of songs that got everyone up on their feet and set the tone for the rest of the evening. Wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending him, excellent fun!"

"Jonny performed at our ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. He was flexible with his timings as some parts of the day went faster than expected. So many people asked where we found him and lots have said they will likely book him to perform when they get married. He played exactly what we wanted and adapted timings well to fit the ceremony. He also chose appropriate music to play for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Some of our guests are huge David Gray fans and said that he reminded them of him, so he played some David Gray songs for them and they were delighted. He was absolutely lovely to deal with and we highly recommend booking with him."

"Roxana participó en nuestro evento cultural y su actuación fue uno de los momentos más destacados de la programación. Su propuesta artística combina técnica, sensibilidad y una identidad muy personal que logra emocionar desde la primera nota. No solo destacó por la calidad musical, sino también por su presencia escénica y su capacidad de transmitir una narrativa a través de la guitarra. El público quedó profundamente impresionado, generando un ambiente de escucha atenta y conexión real. Además, su profesionalidad en la coordinación previa y durante el evento fue impecable. Una artista con un gran potencial y una propuesta sólida y auténtica. (10 / 10)"

"We have worked with Ant many times over the last couple of years and keep getting him back in to play on account of his strong, versatile voice and sound that suits a wide range of styles and settings, from larger crowds to intimate gigs. Ant can be amazingly flexible with the set list and tailors a performance to suit the crowd. All in all, he’s a great guy and really easy to work with. "

"These guys are absolutely, hands down, fantastic! I really couldn’t recommend them enough. They knew exactly how to get the crowd up and dancing and made our NYE a great success – it wouldn’t have been half as good without them! Plus everyone loved the way they took requests and played songs that people actually wanted to hear! They are so professional and flexible with what you need/want. Thank you so much to John and all the band – you really are amazing!"

"You might expect an album with edgy, teal-lit cover art and the title of The Isolation Blues, by the Mike Goudreau Band, to be either dark and brooding or a real barroom stomper, showcasing the loudest guitar you’ve heard since Jimi Hendrix’s. Instead, from the first notes, you’ll find it’s a peppy ensemble extravaganza with horns galore. More’s the better, too – the Winter Solstice is coming up, and we need an eye-opening blast of sunshine in the middle of it. Smooth, jazzy-influenced, and boasting crystal-clear vocals, it’s a must-play on New Year’s Eve. Born in 1965 in Newport, Vermont, into a musical family with an English mother and a French-Canadian father, Mike Goudreau picked up his first guitar at age 14 and hasn’t stopped playing since. His early influences included the Beatles, Chuck Berry, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and later, Albert King, Freddie King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Powder Blues and Downchild – to name a few. Such diverse interests help to explain why Mike is comfortable in so many musical genres, especially jazz and blues. Since 2007, Mike’s songs have been heard on hundreds of network TV shows and films, such as the TV movie The Happiest Season (Hulu), Dynasty (CBS), the Universal Pictures film Dark Waters, the Hollywood film The Banker, starring Samuel Jackson (2020), The Neighborhood (CBS), NCIS Los Angeles (CBS), and Chicago PD (NBC), among several others. Joining Mr. Goudreau (vocals, guitars, bass and hand claps) are Jean-Francois Begin (think Menachem Begin, not “begin”) on drums and percussion, Dany Roy on tenor sax and trumpet, Ira Friedman on organ and piano, and Pascal Veilette on harmonica. You know all the shows and films mentioned earlier? Together, they spell diamond-level QUALITY. That’s what’s been poured into each of the fourteen original tracks on this CD. Every note, every musical phrase, glimmers like the light off one of that gem’s many facets. This is real-deal blues, whether in swing/jump form (as on the opener “Let’s Go Down to the River”), the angsty, harmonica-infused title track, the guitar and piano boogie known as “The Mooch,” or the laid-back instrumental “Sea Breeze Blues.” Any band can crank out an album in their garage or basement and deem it good enough, but not Goudreau and his posse. They care about their offerings like Michelangelo cared about David, or Da Vinci the Mona Lisa. That’s because they’re not just musicians. Not just craftsmen. They’re artists, and don’t you forget it. Got The Isolation Blues? Here’s the cure, or at least the vaccine! "

"Nancy and Franscois married on 28 June 2025. Everything went smoothly, from the beach ceremony to the dinner/dance. Final Edition provided all the music and I would recommend them to my friends and colleagues. Very accommodating and good choice of music."
