"I hosted a bday party for my wife. David did a great job with pop and rock across generations. He was solo or we sang alone. We danced and laughed and had a great time!"

"„Hat unsere Veranstaltung mit rund 60 Teilnehmenden musikalisch bereichert! Sowohl sein Auftritt auf der Bühne als auch die musikalische Untermalung zum Empfang kamen sehr gut an. Auch bei technischen Problemen mit der Anlage der Veranstaltungslocation (was nicht an ihm lag!) konnte er eine adäquate Alternative anbieten. Wir können ihn nur weiterempfehlen!“ "

"Die Zusammenarbeit mit David Häggi war ein eigentlicher Glücksfall – sowohl für mich also auch für die Gäste. David Häggi ist nicht nur ein grossartiger Musiker, sondern ein ebenso verlässlicher wie unkomplizierter Begleiter, der nach der Veranstaltung geduldig die Fragen der Gäste beantwortet hat. Ihm gebührt ein grosser Anteil am Gelingen des Abends. Working with David Häggi was a real stroke of luck – both for me and for the guests. David Häggi is not only a brilliant musician, but also a reliable and easy-going companion who patiently answered the guests’ questions after the event. He deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the evening."

"Wonderful! Gary is a very accomplished guitar player and singer. He gives a heartfelt performance that really engages the audience. Gary performed for our corporate retreat and we really appreciated him for preparing songs especially for our group. He brought an extensive song list and we all picked our favorites. I am amazed at his repertoire. Don't hesitate to book Gary. He's awesome."

"We recently hired Marco to perform at our home for a casual evening, and it was absolutely delightful. As first-time hosts of a home concert, we weren't sure what to expect, but Marco exceeded all our expectations. His acoustic guitar and vocal performances were truly lovely, spanning an impressive range from classic hits of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s right up to modern favorites. Marco's song selection created the perfect atmosphere. Marco himself was surprised that we (audience of 3 men in their early twenties) knew many of the songs from this era but even if not, good music is good music regardless. Beyond his musical talent, Marco was incredibly kind and friendly, making everyone feel comfortable and cozy. His warm personality really added to the overall experience. This was our first time booking a musician for a home performance, but it definitely won't be our last. Marco made it such an enjoyable and memorable evening that we're already looking forward to doing this again. Highly recommended for anyone considering live music for their home gathering!"

"The So and So’s prove that you don’t need a huge band to make a big noise. This three-piece covers band brings loads of energy, great musicianship, and a seriously fun vibe wherever they play. From the first song, they get the crowd going with a mix of well-known classics and modern favourites that everyone can sing along to. The band works brilliantly together, with tight rhythms, solid guitar work, and vocals that keep the atmosphere lively all night. They’ve clearly got plenty of experience, knowing exactly how to read a roo. What’s impressive is how full they sound as a trio — no gaps, no fuss, just great live music played properly. Whether it’s upbeat rock, indie hits, or party favourites, they move effortlessly between styles and keep the momentum going from start to finish. Friendly, professional, and genuinely enjoyable to watch, The So and So’s are the kind of band that turns a good night into a great one. Phil Cresswell, Saturday 28 February 2026"

"100 percent recommended! With or without loop station Phileas plays creative cover versions from the Beatles to David Bowie and Queen to Edward Sharpe. We could choose from a list of over 300 songs! We were absolutely thrilled and so were our guests!"

"As a business we have booked Matt’s talented and impressive act many times over the last 4 years! He’s always very professional and excellent and reading an audience! He always gets the party going and constantly updating his set! The loops are on point and very impressive, much better than other musicians playing to backing tracks! Would / have certainly recommend to friends and family for any occasion! For a passionate, professional and talented musician book this guy! He won’t let you down! "

"Beautiful music Chris was pleasant and friendly and attentive to our needs. He played well. I should have been more clear about the timing of his playing, as we would have preferred more playing at the end of the service than the beginning, but I take responsibility for not making that more clear.
