Their music created an elegant and relaxed atmosphere that our guests truly enjoyed. Each piece was played with such finesse, seamlessly blending into the ambiance of our celebration. The duo was professional, talented, and a joy to work with. If you’re looking for high-quality live music, we highly recommend the Wimbledon Jazz Duo—they exceeded all our expectations!"

"Daniel Martinez was at The Queen’s Hall Edinburgh tonight performing his “20th Anniversary of Flamenco” concert to an enthusiastic audience who had filled the venue pretty much to capacity. Born and raised in Cordoba, Andalucia, this performer, composer and award winning guitarist started his professional flamenco studies at the age of 7. Daniel’s flamenco journey was to take him another 14 years of study at the Royal Conservatoire, and the opportunity to perform in some of the best tablaos (venues) in Cordoba. A move to Scotland has seen Danial Martinez make Edinburgh his new home, and tonight’s performance is part of an ongoing goal in life to not only keep true to the original ethos of Flamenco, but also to develop his own music and projects whilst bringing the living and breathing spirit of this art for to new audiences. This evening’s performance was split into two very distinct performances. The first half with Daniel Martinez performing solo on guitar and playing work from some of the great Flamenco guitarists who have influenced his own work over the years, including amongst others, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucía and Rafael Riqueni. Watching and listening to Daniel Martinez play guitar is in itself a lesson in his art, as his ability to perform the many challenging techniques that flamenco guitar requires to a very high standard is obvious, but this alone is never going to be enough, and something else has to happen for the spirit of this music to really work its magic, some connection that lets the performer become almost a conduit for the music, and Daniel Martinez has that elusive connection. The final performance of the first half “Baile por Rondena” (Dance for Rondena) was composed by Daniel Martinez and highlighted the interpretive performance skills of dancer Gabriela Pouso. It was perhaps here that we, the audience, got to get a little glimpse into the true spirit of flamenco as Daniel Martinez followed in the footsteps of Gabriela on guitar, along the way improvising his performance to match hers in rhythm, volume and expression with the two performers becoming almost one at times. This performance was a taster for a new project by Daniel Martinez and the Daniel Martinez Flamenco Company, “Andalucia”, and the full show will be performed at The Usher Hall accompanied by a Chamber Orchestra on Wednesday 8 Feb 2023. With this new show, Daniel Martinez is expanding upon his award winning “Art of Believing” work. The second half of the performance was very traditional in format featuring flamenco singing, plus of course more interpretive music and dance from Gabriela Pouso and Daniel Martinez. This show, for me, was a learning experience, a chance to find out more about how singers, dancers and guitarists individually express their own “flamenco spirit”, but also join together to create a performance that is rhythmically mesmerising whilst at the same time telling a story in performance arts.

"I met SG during her performance at a 40th birthday event where I was the DJ. She was very professional . She sang Maeri from euphoria which was a hit with the audience. There were other singers and she played guitar for them as well. She was the star of the show! Amazing job SG!"

"Outstanding Musician and Just a Great Dude! My wife and I hired Andrew to play for our rehearsal dinner before our wedding in Sedona, and we couldn't have found a better performer for our event. Andrew isn't just a great guitarist and singer, he's a genuinely awesome human being who cares very much about providing the best performance for your event. He plays a great collection of songs, but would always take requests. Leading up to our wedding, Andrew was very communicative about planning the set list and understanding what our goals were with our event. And our friends told us after that he was a highlight of our whole wedding weekend. If you're looking for a great singer and guitarist for your event, I would definitely recommend Andrew! Cool vibes, great attitude... truly like and old friend performing just for you."

"We had the pleasure of hosting guitarist Sebastian at our recent corporate event in a hotel in Málaga. His performance was nothing short of outstanding – tasteful, engaging, and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of the evening. Guests were thoroughly impressed and frequently expressed how much they enjoyed the music. Sebastian demonstrated both professionalism and artistry, contributing greatly to the success of the event. We would be delighted to work with him again in the future and highly recommend him for any corporate or private occasion."

"Hey Marcus. It was perfect. Thank you so much. She loved the song choice, and the fact that you played her new favourite song. Three songs were just about right. She asked me to say thank you to you for making the effort last minute to learn a new song. Greatly appreciated. Wish you all the best. "
