"As musicians we were a little hesitant about making the right choice. John was exactly the right decision. Talented, professional, punctual, with beautiful melodies. Our only regret was that we didn’t get to listen to each and every piece he performed. And there will definitely be a next time! "

"Michael played the bagpipes at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. He welcomed our guests with beautiful music as they arrived at the church and piped us out at the end of the ceremony — such a special touch. From the start, he was so friendly, laid-back, and easy to deal with, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Our guests loved his playing, and so did we — it added something really memorable to the day. Highly recommend!"

"We met Aidan at Pairings, in Pleasanton, CA, a couple weeks ago while he was performing. He had a great sound and really got the crowd going. My friend was getting married the following week and asked him if he’d be interested in coming to sing for a little bit at their reception. He was willing to fit us in his schedule and we are sure glad he did! He was easy to work with, had great playlist options and really was so willing to work with us and really put us first! He was a great surprise addition to the reception! I strongly recommend him for your next wedding or event!!"

"Absolutely fantastic. We hired Social Season to provide background music for a company drinks event, and they knocked it out the park. Everyone loved their spin on popular covers, and they provided the perfect ambience, Not only that, but a pleasure to deal with in the run-up to the event. Highly recommended!"

"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

"Made in Ireland" is the name of the festival, but it only features one real Irishman. Gavin Carpenter travels directly from Dublin to Neu-Ulm. Squeezed into his tour schedule between two gigs in Dublin's Temple Bar pub district. His motto in Neu-Ulm as well: "No Fillers, only Killers." With a best-of-Irish folk, from traditional hits like "Back Home in Derry" to hits by the Pogues, Carpenter goes from zero to 100. Remarkably, the Johnny Cash look-alike would also pass for a double of the "Man in Black" vocally with his covers. "

"Absolutely amazing! Was fantastic right through from the beginning and even after! Got involved with the party and made everyone feel at home. Travelled for hours just to make it with us and I'm really glad he did. Since our party I've caught up with friends and family who have said "wow, that singer was great wasn't he, where did you find him". It's really hard not meeting someone or hearing them live to book for such a big event, but I just want to personally thank you for doing a fantastic job and making our night to remember! I also want to apologise for coming on the stage and taking a selfie with you! I don't know how you stayed so professional! Haha. If you're ever in the area again please stop by for a drink! Thank you so so much for making mine and my fiances night. (and everyone else's!!!!) xxxxx"
