"Vocalist for a live set with DJ and Saxophonist during the 'Notte Bianca' event in Artena. We performed a pop and dance repertoire for a large outdoor audience. The collaboration with the DJ and musician was successful, resulting in positive feedback and verbal confirmation for future seasonal collaborations"

"I cannot recommend Mike Collins highly enough. From beginning to end, he was professional, flexible and a joy to book. My Mum and Dad (sadly) couldn't travel to Liverpool for my engagement party, and so Mike was tasked with bringing Liverpool to them, and boy, did he do just that! He surprised my parents and made their night one to remember, with joyful dancing and singing along in their garden. He really was the most kind, compassionate and wonderful entertainer for the job! He made my mum and dad's night, and what a talent you are, Mike! Playing all the hits from The Beatles, to Gerry and the Pacemakers and some rock n roll greats in between! I cannot thank you enough for the joy and happiness you brought to us all. You went above and beyond and videoed the whole thing so not only could we watch the joy once our own party had ended, but so my mum and dad have this very special memory to watch again and again! You also laminated (and beautifully delivered!) my little speech to give to my parents - again, a very kind touch and something they can treasure forever. I am over the moon with your service, and will be booking you again in the future as you are worth every penny. Thank you, from our whole family, for being incredible, Mike! Stay safe x"

"Dave communicated throughout the planning progress to know which songs we liked from his extensive list. He arrived in plenty of time and set up well in advance. Dave was very smartly presented and looked the part. Dave played in the gardens for a drinks reception, he was at the right volume to hear but blended into the atmosphere as well. Dave did a great job and I would use him again with no hesitation. Thanks Dave."

Jeff fit right in and performed all the songs that Abby loves country & Jeff covered a wide verity of songs from classic to new. Everyone enjoyed hearing him sing and interacted well with everyone! We love Jeff!"

"Liam sang at our wedding ceremony on July 2nd 2022 and he was just amazing. His communication before the wedding is great and so relaxed. He sent us clips of what his version of a song would sound like which was so nice of him. His renditions of our favourite songs during our special day meant so much to us. My family commented after the wedding that they’d never walked into a church with such a relaxed and fun atmosphere already set before the ceremony had even started. And that was all down to Liam’s singing and persona during the build up to the ceremony. Would absolutely recommend!"

"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. "

"If Dr. John and Tom Waits leave you wanting more, lend your ear to one-of-a-kind Aussie artist Pugsley Buzzard, who assimilates their piano playing, singing and songwriting style into his own blues-jazz musical distillation. On this, his fourth solo CD since 2007’s Hammer These Tongs, Buzzard delivers an all-original set recorded in New Orleans, Melbourne and the Blue Mountains. The Aussie backing musicians are so hip to Buzzard’s swampy Crescent City-influenced grooves that it’s difficult to tell which tracks were recorded where. Complementing the Big Easy contingent of tenor and baritone saxophonist Jimmie Carpenter, trumpeter Antonio Gambrell, trombonist Craig Klein, double bassist Nathan Lambertson, guitarist John Fohl, drummer Charles Brewer and singer Irene Sage, is an equally talented band of top local players. The opening bars of the lead-in blues mambo instrumental ‘Cigarstore Indian’, on which Buzzard’s commanding piano echoes Professor Longhair, James Booker and Allen Toussaint all rolled into one, promises a bourbon-drenched musical trip to follow. Buzzard doesn’t disappoint, his gravelly Joe Cocker-by-way-of-Coco Robicheaux vocals and pulsating piano serving up a solid mix of New Orleans R&B from the Fats Domino styled ‘Dirty Kings’ and the inventive minor-key rave-up ‘Gumbo Boogie’, to the gris-gris-soaked, Night Tripper hoodoo funk of ‘Po’ Boy’, ‘Fire In The Hole’ and ‘Mischief’. The Dixieland flavoured ‘Sin City Lights’ gives way to ‘Salamanca Blues’ a solo instrumental displaying Buzzard’s mastery of stride piano. Chasin’ Aces is a well-crafted, authentic New Orleans Down Under body of work. Al Hensley Rythmns Magazine "
