"I hired Matthew for my 50th birthday party and am so pleased that I did - he was exactly what I was looking for! I selected him on the basis of the quality that I saw on the website, and felt that he was even better in person. Being somewhat fussy, I was apprehensive about finding someone who could meet my needs, but Matthew suggested that we had a meeting before my event and we chatted through my ideas and preferences - as well as the things that I did not want! I came away feeling that he understood me and that we had connected, which was incredibly reassuring, and I was not let down on the night. Matthew is an incredibly talented singer and guitarist - recreating songs in a way that not only reflects the original, but often putting his own twist onto them in a way that keeps them fresh and interesting. His use of the loop pedal was particularly impressive! It was of note that so many of my guests commented on how good he was - they had a great time and really got into the swing of things as he gradually turned up the tempo and got everyone dancing. In doing so, he took requests, interacted with the crowd, showed a good sense of humour and came across as a fun, friendly and approachable guy. He played a wide range of songs, all of which reflected our discussion beforehand, with a great balance between those you might expect at a party and some 'surprises' that may be less common but worked equally well - if not better! I would definitely hire Matthew again, and would recommend him to pretty much anyone: he has a list of nearly 500 songs to choose from, and has a strict policy of not having a 'usual' setlist - instead preferring to engage in a discussion of what you'd like, so would be able to cater for all tastes - even mine! Thanks so much Matthew - you turned a great night into an incredible night!"

Thank you so much for your review Ian - I was genuinely touched! I’m so happy that you enjoyed yourself, especially as I know how anxiety-inducing it can be to organise your own birthday party and feel responsible for everyone’s fun! I loved the atmosphere created by your guests and it was such a pleasure to see you and your friends all dancing together. I hope I can play for you again one day! - Matt

"I had the pleasure of having Petar perform at our event at Toplik Resort in Sarajevo, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. His voice is absolutely mesmerizing – a perfect blend of warmth, soul, and power. Every song he performed touched our guests deeply, creating a magical and unforgettable atmosphere. Petar was not only incredibly talented but also professional, punctual, and very easy to work with. His choice of songs and the way he connected with the audience made the evening truly special. If you're looking for a musician who will elevate your event and leave everyone talking about it, Petar is the one. We would be honored to have him perform for us again!"

"🎷 Une prestation inoubliable pour nos fiançailles Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir Stéphan comme saxophoniste lors de notre party de fiançailles, et c’était tout simplement parfait ! 🎷 Il a été présent toute la soirée et a su créer une ambiance incroyable — toute notre famille en parle encore des semaines plus tard ! Sa musique a vraiment donné vie à notre événement. En plus de son immense talent, Stéphan est d’une grande gentillesse : la communication avec lui a toujours été simple et fluide, et sur place, on avait l’impression qu’il faisait partie des invités. 💛 Chaleureux, professionnel et passionné, on le recommande sans hésiter !"

"Brilliant! But it wasn't just the singing that made this show special. Mr. One Showman also incorporated elements of comedy and storytelling, making the show not only entertaining but also meaningful. He shared personal anecdotes and jokes that had the audience laughing and relating to him on a personal level."

"On the recommendation of a friend, we hired Jeff for our 35th anniversary party. He did a great job, provided an impressive variety of music (played many of our favorites from the 70s, 80s and 90s), got us singing and dancing, and helped our family and friends have a very enjoyable evening. Jim and I would highly recommend. "
