Review Centre: Folk Singers

"Easy listening – which the young love ironically and the old love wholeheartedly – is on an upward curve and ‘Velvet’ which reached No. 2 in the albums charts, may just have been the making of Byrom – this show case performance, featuring a 26 piece orchestra has long been a sell-out."

"I have attended many weddings and special occasions where Paul has performed, and every time his voice and presence create a beautiful, memorable atmosphere. He is a gifted performer and brings real elegance and feeling to every event. Highly recommended. "

"David played at my 30th birthday and put on a great performance! Everyone wanted to know his details after. He’s easy to work with and will get to know your music taste. I recommend him for any events you have. "

"Harmonica Lewinsky, half musician, half comedian, can't be filed easily under any one genre. There are no "rawk" anthems or jangly pop toons to guide you to a familiar sense of comfy numbness you may well be used to in your local music venue. Instead, you get a proper show. Someone - that's Phil Leiwy, crazy alchemist of alter-ego Lewinsky - has taken it upon himself to create a crisp set of upbeat, rhythmic gems played on guitar (choppy, jazzy, mellow), vocals (smooth, welcoming) and of course, a boxload of harmonicas (swanky, tuneful, engaging). But words alone seem unable to explain why, after a HL gig, you go home feeling as if you have been crane-lifted out of a ditch... If you haven't seen HL play, go and see for yourself, and let the performance into your life. Careful listening really helps: the lyrics to many of Phil's songs - including Gordon Brown (to the tune of the Stranglers' "Golden Brown") - are wry, clever and occasionally rude. Lovers of X-Factor stability or other social brainwashing techniques may leave feeling confused."

"Rosa has really made quite the impact, down south in Queenstown New Zealand. Folk fusion singer, who not only plays, but helps others showcase their original music. 5 stars mate 💪"

"Wow! Just wow! I contacted Alberto with a very short notice and he travelled for 3 hours just to perform for us. I had planned a surprise engagement and requested a mix of Italian and american songs. He delivered 100% and his voice is amazing! I recommend you book Alberto!! "

"Bob contributed with a fantastic concert in Fjerritslev Church Center in May 2023. Lots of happy people flocked to Fjerritslev Kirkcenter to hear the happy and well-liked Scotsman. Bob's concert was a lovely concert, for all age groups. Both his own songs but also huge hits from different decades were sung. Even the audience could choose songs. All in all, a Bob Ferguson concert is a wonderful experience, filled with joy, humorous remarks, beautiful singing with audience participation and a wonderful personal experience that you absolutely do not want to miss. 5 out of 5 stars from here. Thank you for a fantastic concert. We very much hope that he comes back to Fjerritslev. A clear recommendation to everyone from us here in Denmark."

"Beautiful, authentic and soulful are words too small and inadequate to describe magic and atmosphere that these remarkably talented people create! Most highly recommended."

"Alberto was quick to respond to our last minute request for live music and made a 3 hour drive to our location. His own versions of classic songs were incredible, it had everyone listening in awe. He added in Italian songs which we though were probably the best and really made our day extra special. He ended up staying longer to set up inside while we had dinner. We highly recommend him for any event you're looking for music!"

"I looked on Lastminutemusicians.com literally a few days before our event and found Paul. He was so incredibly helpful and willing to perform at the time we needed which was from 3pm for a couple of hours. He turned up at our home at exactly the time he said and was ready to perform whenever I said. It was a surprise for my husband who loved it as did all of our guests about 30+. It was held in our garden and quite a few people got up and danced, he was that good, even our grandchildren joined in and he wasn't phased by them running around and dancing right in front of where he was performing. Absolutely loved his set and I'm sure he went slightly over his time. Only ever so. Was sad when his time was up but he got people motivated to sing, dance and have a fabulous time just by singing his set of songs before he had to depart. Brilliant. Thank you so much Paul. We would book you again in a heartbeat. "

"“Musical Wizard:” Against the backdrop of the oak-panelled Great Hall, and under the hooded gaze of Lord Preston’s impressive portrait, Peter Bull, resplendent in black velvet and sporting a large ostrich-feather hat, took us through a tour of the music and instruments of the Civil War. The Hall itself was used as lodgings for the Roundheads and one could imagine the music echoing down the centuries to a very different audience. Peter Bull performed two different concerts, beginning with a selection of tunes by John Playford (1651), played with great dexterity on the hurdy-gurdy (or wheel fiddle), a cross between a violin and the bagpipes! In contrast, he then performed the popular Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Ben Johnson) and Gather Ye Rosebuds (William Lawes) on the lute. "

"Over the years Spectra have used Bob Ferguson, and his bands Celtic Horizon, and Beggars Row to entertain many of our corporate clients. Bob is a natural charmer, has a great voice and delivers many traditional, and more contemporary songs with great style. He always has fun on stage, loves to interact with guests, and uniquely can always be relied on to read the room so that audiences feel they are part of the experience. We love having Bob play for our clients!"

"Many thanks to Paul ,for making my daughters special day even more special! Paul is not only a very talented singer and musician, but also very likeable which endeared him to the guests. His very varied song choice was ideal , and would be very well received at all types of occasions I’m sure. Thanks Paul, keep up the good work, and hopefully see you again at our sons 21st. "
