"Fantastic guitarist For many years, during the warmer months, I am able to enjoy Desmond on a regular basis as he performs daily, outdoors, for the sidewalk audiences and patrons at Bar Boulud, Cafe Fiorello and The Smith restaurants across from Lincoln Center. Desmond is a talented and captivating classical guitarist who also sings in accompaniment to his playing. His performance is the perfect enhancement to the warm, pleasant atmosphere and dining experience. As the menu tantalizes our appetites, Desmond tantalizes our hearing. I'm looking forward to the change of weather and enjoying Desmond's music!"

"Elise was so wonderful! She serenaded my group of ladies during our final meal together during a women's retreat overlooking the water in Eze. Her communication was excellent, very timely, and her voice is out of this world. Thank you so much, Elise! I hope to see you again!"

"Richard is an amazing artist, singer and songwriter, with a huge list of songs cover and plenty of original. He's shows are a show that would make you long for Nashville folk/county music. Amazing work from this man.!"

"Kelsey&Shawn , Married on 21/Apr/2025 5.0 The Guests were Stoked! We had Jennifer play her cello with harpist Josephine at our wedding. It was absolutely amazing and the guests were thrilled! Their minds were especially blown when Jennifer and Josephine played Mad World. It was great because we left the wedding for an hour for photos and guests barely noticed because they were so engaged with the music. Jennifer was able to accommodate all of our popular music requests, she was prompt, professional and wonderful to work with. Would totally recommend! 10/10! "

"My company had a drinks reception for some clients, and I hired Nick hoping to make the gathering a bit less formal. It worked a treat. The atmosphere was was so much friendlier and Nick’s choice of music was spot on. "

"Marcus sang for us at a private dining party. He gave us a very good range of songs and his style was perfect for our evening. Marcus is a very personable guy and was very laid back about the arrangements. All our guests enjoyed his singing and we even did some dancing. Marcus helped to make this a very special evening."

"Me and my husband booked Naked Stereo to play at our wedding anniversary party. The evening was good fun and they had all our close friends and family singing and dancing along to the music! It was an outdoor event and they catered perfectly to the environment and let people use their equipment for speeches and toasts. Really easy going and friendly people to work with. If you have a similar event in mind I would recommend booking them. "

"S Smith Hi Paul, Just wanted to say thank you to you and Mick for making our wedding anniversary party so special. I had many colleagues come up to me asking for your details, so they all loved it to! Must admit, nearly lost my voice singing along to "Angels" . Hope you are available in February for my son's 21st. Thanks once again, you were both amazing. Samantha Smith"

"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
