Review Centre: Harmonica Players

"Drew made our surprise mini music concert a memorable event. He arrived ahead of time and was very professional. He is a great singer and skillful guitarist. Drew is very talented and sang a wide range of hits that were appropriate for the occasion. We highly recommend him!"

"My wife and I popped along to see the popular Denis Cook's solo gig. Along with his regular set songs like: "Budapest" by George Ezra, an acoustic version of The Foundations "Baby Now That I’ve Found You", Neil Diamond's "Love On The Rocks" and "Sweet Caroline", even Chas & Dave's "Rabbit" Denis establishes a good rapport with his audience, some of whom are obviously regular fans, so there was plenty of joking, repartee and crowd participation during this gig which was played to a packed house and which saw Denis strumming guitar, ukulele, mandolin and blowing some decent harmonica too. Denis has learnt his craft well and along with his affable manner and fine vocal renditions which made for a very pleasant evening. (For those who may not already know, this talented man is also a well-respected DJ!) In any event, we had intended to stay only a short while but ended up staying put for a full, enjoyable 3 hours and although I didn't count, I'm told Denis played 52 songs in this extended set!"

"After a few hours checking out the Lord Mayor's show, the missus and I headed to the Hoop & Grapes in the heart of London City for an hour or two of cockney singalong courtesy of Harmonica Lewinsky. It was the first time we'd seen him holding court for a while, and I'm pleased to report he's still got it: saveloys, trotters, marrows, no bananas, you name it. Sterling stuff"

"Rik Basho provided a warm setting for Saturday night's performance. The audience felt deeply connected to the vibe of the music. He told engaging stories between the songs. He opened with his folk-rock song: " Let the music set you free" and captivated the place with his warm-welcoming presence. People of all ages were present."

"Denis has been a regular performer at our Golden Memories programme held at Watford Football Club, and each time he brings fun and fantastic music. If you’re looking for a performer who interacts with the audience and delivers great entertainment, book Denis! He’s always reliable, and we highly recommend him to everyone. The ladies and gents at our sessions are always calling out for one more song and can’t wait for his next performance."

"Well now I need to go and plan another event just to have Drew back, so I can enjoy his music a little longer ha ha. That is, if you love the harmonica, guitar and the blues dobro, I could listen to it all day. On a serious note, my memorial event for my father who passed was MADE because Drew was able to take one of my Dads songs he wrote and make it come alive. Along with singing other chosen special songs too, (amazing Grace on the dobro was something I didn’t know I needed) it made the whole event. I was so thankful for the extra time and care he took with the song, and working with me! Definitely recommend Drew, you won’t be disappointed!"

"Scott is a regular performer here and one of our favorites! Not only is he an amazing musician and has developed quite a following at our venue, but he is also very professional and incredible to work with. Even as a solo performer, if you close your eyes you might guess you're listening to a trio! Such full sound and always the highest quality performance. He's just THAT good! I would very highly recommend him."

"Harmie brought his full Cockney repertoire to the cavernous Cavalier pub in Whetstone and he had to fight his way through the crowds to get to the stage, arriving with his guitar, a collection of harmonicas, his cloth cap and braces and a mug of jellied eels. This was a real Cockney knees-up evening for the regulars, who included in their midst the Pearly King and Queen of Purley, or was it Finchley? Kicking off with Chas 'n Dave's raucous toe-tapper, "The Sideboard Song" the cheeky chappie tackled a lovely bunch of Cockney ditties, including Tommy Steele's showstopper, "What A Mouth"; an entertaining version of the old Billy Cotton (now there was a good old Cockney) number, "The Marrow Song"; and the singalong tunes, "Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner", "Show Me The Way To Go Home", "Meet Me At The Church" and the tasty, "Hot Meat Pie, Saveloys And Trotters". Highlights of the first set were Harmie's harmonica-led rendition of the Shadows' classic instrumental, "Apache" and, following a request from a punter, a countryfied version of "What Made Milwaukee Famous", which was part made famous by Rod Stewart. The lovable Cockney character was in humorous form too calling for 'security' when a man approached him for a request, and in telling the audience: "As this is Whetstone I thought we ought to do a song about infidelity," before launching into Gene Pitney's, "24 Hours From Tulsa", complete with harp solo. The second set brought more Cockney treats with Bernard Cribbins' "Right Said Fred"; Mike Jerome's clever, "Sling Yer Hook" and Chas and Dave's weepie, "Ain't No Pleasing You". The audience were loving Harmie by now, but soon he had to battle his way through the masses again to get to the Harmie-mobile and a trip home to the Old Kent Road."

"We cannot thanks Denis enough for providing such an amazing evening for us and our guests. He had asked if we wanted to create a playlist or if we had any special requests prior to the event, but we both love to be a bit spontaneous. We gave him a free rein on music choice asking him to "read the room & play to the crowd" so to speak… and he certainly did that and much much more! He kept our guests engaged & involved throughout and friends were talking about it in the weeks to follow. We just can’t praise this wonderful man enough. Thank you so very much Denis! For anyone looking for a Dj for any occasion we 100% we would recommend Denis Cook ❤️ Simone Bentley, "

"We had Love Affaire Duo (Brian and his wife Serena) play at our welcome party for our wedding weekend in Tuscany. They were absolutely fantastic!! Both of them were incredibly talented, their performance was beautiful, and just lovely people to work with to help make this really personal for us. Our guests also loved their music! They were very easy to communicate with, always able to jump on a video call or speak via whatsapp. Both speaking fluent English. They arrived well in advance of the start time and did all of their own setup very quickly/smoothly. Great selection of songs for all tastes. We'd highly recommended them for any parties or weddings! Thank you both for making our wedding extra special! "
